Artwork Systems Nexus™
Nexus™ is Artwork Systems’ comprehensive high-end workflow solution for label and packaging environments. The purpose of Nexus is to increase productivity in pre-production through automation of human-intensive front-end tasks and RIP based tasks. Nexus is a modular system and exists out of three core modules: NexusIMPORT™, NexusPROCESSOR™ and NexusRIP™, which may or may not run on the same hardware configuration, allowing users to configure the system to their own needs of functionality, throughput and security.
