Fujifilm Partners With Tilia Labs On CAD-Based Technology Hanover Park, Illinois based Fujifilm North America Graphic Systems Division and Ottowa, Canada based Tilia Labs, Inc., a leading developer of planning, impo- sition, and Artificially Intelligent software solutions have engaged in a new distribution partnership in North Amer- ica. Fujifilm will sell Tilia Labs’ CAD-based nesting and imposition technology to complement its J Press digital printer for short-run packaging and commercial print ap- plications. Effective immediately, the agreement means Fujifilm now represents Tilia Labs on three continents and be- comes the Tilia Labs’ largest global distribution partner. Founded in 2012, Tilia Labs has a network of partners and resellers worldwide. “For our customers, it’s about bringing a unique solu- tion to the challenges presented by short run packag- ing. To be profitable in this area, manufactures must find ways to automate the CAD layout and imposition process that is typically very time consuming and manual,” said George Folickman, Director of Sales for Tilia Labs. “Our combined solution enables these manufactures to lever- age the J Press platform for shorter runs and faster turn- around that otherwise wouldn’t be profitable.” Tilia Phoenix planning and imposition software uses AI technology to reduce waste and optimize production in all print segments including packaging, labels, com- mercial, and wide format printing. Its AI-generated lay- outs eliminate the need for template-based imposition, instead dynamically adapting to manufacturing require- ments and constraints For folding carton and commercial printers, Tilia Phoe- nix offers several powerful features like inventorying die layouts, automatically nesting and populating dies based on quantities, and imposing traditional commercial print work. For those with both digital and conventional capabil- ities, Tilia Phoenix Imposition AI quickly evaluates the most cost-effective way to run a set of jobs taking into consideration press costs, ink coverage, make ready, change overs, and converting. Tilia Phoenix can be integrated into Fujifilm XMF or other workflows and MIS systems to deliver faster esti- mates, reduce prepress time, and minimize waste. “Our relationship with Tilia Labs plays an important role in how Fujifilm offers a full solution for both packag- ing and commercial customers in need of the best pro- duction inkjet press on the market and the desire to bring in first class solutions to enhance the value they bring to their customers,” said Ed Pierce, Product Marketing Man- ager for Fujifilm North America Graphic Systems Division “Tilia Phoenix is an incredibly valuable tool by delivering job planning and imposition at lightning speeds and si- multaneously reducing material and overhead costs.”
