Oki Data Announces New Wide Format Printers

Oki Data has just launched three new wide-format business printers. All three of the new printers, which start at $3399, can print on up to tabloid extra-sized paper (12 by 18 inches), and can print on paper with a weight up to 307 grams per square meter; much larger and heavier than most printers.
The three new models are all in the C9650 range: the base level C9650n, the C9650dn (which adds duplexing) and the C9650hdn (which comes with a 40GB hard drive for document storage) All of them are based around Oki's LED printing engine, which they claim is faster and more energy efficient than laser printers; they claim that all of the models are capable of up to 36 pages per minute in color and 40 pages per minute in black and white, with a first print page time of 9 seconds for black and white. All of the models include 512MB of memory, but an optional 40GB hard drive can be added for holding very large print jobs.

The resolution of the prints is 1200 by 600, and Oki also claims that the printers are not expensive to run, citing a cost per page of 8.4 cents for color and 1.3 cents for black and white prints. Pricing on the individual models is not available at the moment, but Oki says that the new range will start at $3399.

Panasonic Launches Low Cost Multifunction Devices

Panasonic has just launched two new devices into the fiercely competitive multifunction market: the $149.99 KX-MB271 and the $199.99 KX-MB781. Both are based around a laser printing engine with a claimed speed of up to 18 pages per minute.
The $149.99 KX-MB271 can scan, copy and print. The printer is built around a monochrome laser printer engine that can print at a resolution of up to 600 by 600 dpi, with a claimed warm-up time of 15 seconds. That's pretty fast, but we haven't tested the validity of this claim. The scanner can scan at up to 600 by 1200 dots per inch (or 600 by 300 if the auto sheet feeder is used) and can accommodate and automatically crop scans to the size of the scanned document. The built-in document feeder can handle up to 20 sheets of paper, and the KX-MB271 comes with the Read-Iris Pro OCR software that can convert scanned documents into text. There is a single paper tray that can hold up to 250 sheets of paper. The KX-MB271 can be connected to a PC via a USB port, but there is no support for sharing the printer over a network.

The $199.99 KXMB781has the same features as the cheaper KXMB271, but adds support for sending and receiving faxes, plus support for wired Ethernet networks. This means it can act as a fax workstation for a small business: users can send faxes straight from the desktop over the network. Scanned documents and received faxes can also be sent over the network to a comaptiable PC.
For both printers, drivers are supplied for Windows versions from Windows 98 to Vista, but there is no included support for Apple Macs.

Marlin Studios Ships Two Photorealistic 3D Tree Model Collections

The models employ a process that provides photorealism while keeping polygon counts low.
When working with objects, maintaining the polygon count as low as possible is essential to keep file size to a minimum and application performance acceptable. Placing trees in a 3D environment has thus typically required a choice between using lots of over-simplified trees or a few highly realistic ones. For the creation of the two TreeFarm collections Marlin Studios has employed high-resolution textures to give the low polygon tree and palm models the look of large, conventional 3D models. The average TreeFarm model uses about 3,000 polygons, with optional bark and leaf textures providing a combination of different looks for over 10,000 trees.

The two TreeFarm Deciduous and Palms libraries contain more than 1,500 low-polygon photorealistic tree models, with leaf and bark textures already applied. The two libraries contain 76 tree objects—58 deciduous objects and 18 palm objects. The deciduous trees provide six leaf variations per tree and five color variations per leaf. The palm trees offer five leaf (frond) colors per tree, and leaves can be interchanged from tree object to tree object. Models are provided in MAX, OBJ and LWO formats, employed by most 3D applications and supported by Adobe Photoshop Extended.

The TreeFarm Deciduous DVD can be purchased on the Marlin Studios site for $299, with the TreeFarm Palms CD priced at $239. Samples files are also available for download.

Last Call for D&AD Awards 2008

Entries will once again compete for a shot at the coveted Yellow and Black Pencil awards.
British-based D&AD was established in 1962 as a non-profit organization representing the creative, design and advertising communities, with a recent emphasis on demonstrating the impact of creativity and innovation on enhancing business performance. Of its many activities, perhaps the best known is its D&AD Global Awards, as well as the related Annual, which features some of the best global design and advertising work each year.
300 of the world's leading creatives will soon gather in London to judge the 25,000 pieces of work entered in the 2008 awards contest. The judges sit on 30 specialist juries, spending up to four days assessing the work, with voting always private and never by a show of hands. Works are initially chosen for inclusion in the D&AD Annual, with a subset nominated and then chosen to receive a Yellow Pencil, a mark of creative excellence. Yellow Pencil choices proceed to Black Pencil judging, with juries split into Advertising, Digital and Design, and work only receiving this distinction if it's deemed groundbreaking or redefines its medium. Pencil-winning work will be announced at the D&AD Awards Ceremony on Thursday, May 15, 2008 at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

More information is available on the D&AD site, with previous Pencil-winning work available for viewing. The deadline for entires is January 16, 2008.

Enfocus Enhances PDF Editing and Preflighting Tools

Additional functionality has been added to PitStop Server, PitStop Professional and Neo.
PitStop Professional is an Adobe Acrobat plugin that provides both interactive and automated editing functions, enabling advanced PDF editing and correction until the last moment of the prepress cycle, with full tracking of edits made to the PDF file. Its preflight abilities identify and correct errors, or highlight them, and provide the ability to set up global criteria to make automatic modifications throughout a document. Users can also select and edit such PDF elements as text, vector objects, raster images and color profiles, and change properties such as fonts, font embedding and outlining, color spaces, size and position, image resolution and ICC profiles.

PitStop Professional 7.5 adds operating system-independent color conversions, thanks to the addition of the Adobe CMS and open source LittleCMS, while maintaining the ability to employ an OS-specific CMS. Compliancy has also been added for the new PDF/X-4 standard, which supports layers and transparency, with an appropriate PDF Profile included in the release. Also new are three options for the display of text in wire frame mode, improvements in support for font remapping and composite fonts, as well as checking whether all required glyphs and metrics for the characters used in a PDF file are available.

PitStop Server 4.1, which will be released early 2008, has a reworked user interface, a new PitStop Server Watchdog that operates as a background application, a more powerful hot folder function, support for multiple processors and compatibility for Windows Vista.

Enfocus Neo, a standalone PDF editing tool, was launched earlier this year. Version 1.2 includes compatibility with PitStop Professional 7, and it can also now highlight places where ink coverage is above a certain level, and reveal areas with overprint, transparency traps and breakouts. It can now display rotated views, making it easier to correct impositioned pages, and can display such document properties as PDF Producer, PDF Version, creation date and document security flags.

Visual Grammar by Christian Leborg

Visual Grammar by Christian Leborg
96 pages - PDF - 200 2-color color illustrations - 69 Mb

Life in the image world has made us all voracious, if not always deliberate, consumers of visual messages. Easy access to computer graphic tools has turned many of us into either amateur or professional image producers. But without a basic understanding of visual language, a productive dialogue between producers and consumers of visual communication is impossible. Visual Grammar can help you speak and write about visual objects and their creative potential, and better understand the graphics that bombard you 24/7. It is both a primer on visual language and a visual dictionary of the fundamental aspects of graphic design.
Dealing with every imaginable visual concept–from abstractions such as dimension, format, and volume; to concrete objects such as form, size, color, and saturation; to activities such as repetition, mirroring, movement, and displacement; to relations such as symmetry, balance, diffusion, direction, and variation–this book is an indispensable reference for beginners and seasoned visual thinkers alike. Whether you simply want to familiarize yourself with visual concepts or whether you're an experienced designer looking for new ways to convey your ideas to a client, Visual Grammar is the clear and concise manual that you've been looking for.

Christian Leborg is a designer and design educator. He is founding partner of K, a knowledge and communications consultancy in Oslo, Norway.

Beauty and Art: 1750-2000 by Elizabeth Prettejohn

Beauty and Art: 1750-2000 by Elizabeth Prettejohn
June 10, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0192801600 | PDF | 17 Mb | 224 pages

What do we mean when we call a work of art `beautiful`? How have artists responded to changing notions of the beautiful? Which works of art have been called beautiful, and why? Fundamental and intriguing questions to artists and art lovers, but ones that are all too often ignored in discussions of art today. Prettejohn argues that we simply cannot afford to ignore these questions.
Charting over two hundred years of western art, she illuminates the vital relationship between our changing notions of beauty and specific works of art, from the works of Kauffman to Whistler, Ingres to Rossetti, Cezanne to Jackson Pollock, and concludes with a challenging question for the future: why should we care about beauty in the twenty-first century?

PDF2ID PDF to Adobe InDesign Convertor Updated

The latest version features enhanced OpenType font support, as well as more accurate conversions.
PDF2ID converts PDF documents to Adobe InDesign CS2 and CS3 format. Operating as a plugin, PDF2ID performs the conversion from within InDesign, thereby eliminating the need for dedicated PDF conversion tools. Each page in the PDF file is converted to an equivalent in the resulting InDesign document.
PDF2ID will try to preserve the layout while reconstructing data, with the conversion process automatically forming paragraphs, applying styles, regrouping independent graphic elements, extracting images, creating tables and recovering annotations and other elements automatically. It will also transform gradients in a PDF file to an equivalent in InDesign, apply clipping paths to images, convert text on a path to an InDesign representation, as well as create equivalents for transparencies and graphics transformations. The plugin is said to use an interface similar to that of InDesign and supports English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Western European-language data contained in PDF documents.

ersion 1.1 claims to now provide complete OpenType font support, as well as adding automatic character and paragraph style generation. The recovery and reuse of annotations has also been enhanced, with the ability to now specify fonts for annotations, convert annotations to a separate layer in the resulting InDesign file, or convert them to InDesign CS3 notes.
PDF2ID 1.1 for Mac and Windows can be purchased on the Recosoft site for $249. A trial version is also available for download.

BenQ's DC-X835 sneaky 8 megapixel anti-shaker

BenQ is back with another digital snapper ready for action during the holidays. At least we think so - no price or availability were announced. Nevertheless, the DC-X835 is an 8 megapixel version of their DC-X735 slimster. As such, you're looking at a 3x smc Pentax optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD, and a "unique" Super Shake Free mode. So unique they can't tell us whether it's optical, mechanical, digital, or what. VGA video in MPEG-4 at 30fps in a 12.5~14.7-mm thin take anywhere camera with SDHC storage closes things out.

GIS for Web Developers

GIS for Web Developers: Adding 'Where' to Your Web Applications by Scott Davis
ISBN: 0974514098 | October 9, 2007 | 176 pages | PDF | 3.4MB

There is a hidden revolution going on: geography is moving from niche to the mainstream. News reports routinely include maps and satellite images. More and more pieces of equipment cell phones, cars, computers now contain Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Many of the major database vendors have made geographic data types standard in their flagship products.
GIS for Web Developers introduces Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in simple terms and demonstrates hands-on uses. With this book, you'll explore popular websites like maps.google.com, see the technologies they use, and learn how to create your own. Written with the usual Pragmatic Bookshelf humor and real-world experience, GIS for Web Developers makes geographic programming concepts accessible to the common developer.

This book will demystify GIS and show you how to make GIS work for you. You'll learn the buzzwords and explore ways to geographically-enable your own applications. GIS is not a fundamentally difficult domain, but there is a barrier to entry because of the industry jargon. This book will show you how to "walk the walk" and "talk the talk" of a geographer.

You'll learn how to find the vast amounts of free geographic data that's out there and how to bring it all together. Although this data is free, it's scattered across the web on a variety of different sites, in a variety of incompatible formats. You'll see how to convert it among several popular formats including plain text, ESRI Shapefiles, and Geography Markup Language (GML).

With this book in hand, you'll become a real geographic programmer using the Java programming language. You'll find plenty of working code examples in Java using some of the many GIS-oriented applications and APIs
