Ultimate Tech, a global leader in imposition, nesting, and finishing automation, has joined forces with Xitron, a Hybrid Software Group company, to unveil a robust new workflow integration at PRINTING United Expo 2025 in Orlando, Florida. Together, they are presenting the full integration of Ultimate Impostrip® within Xitron’s K2 Workflow—a scalable, Harlequin-based solution engineered to help printers transition away from outdated prepress platforms such as Kodak Prinergy, Fujifilm XMF, and Agfa Apogee. The result is a dynamic, high-performance workflow designed for modern print environments that prefer perpetual licensing over subscription-based models.

With Ultimate Impostrip® Pro Offset now embedded directly in K2, users can access powerful imposition automation tools at the click of a button. This streamlined integration eliminates redundant setup steps and enhances productivity by allowing operators to edit layouts, marks, and dynamic templates directly within the K2 interface. “Directly from K2, users can now access and edit all the elements of the imposition, including dynamic layouts and marks driven by Ultimate Impostrip®,” said Paul Napolitano, Product Manager at Xitron. “We’ve received tremendous feedback from K2 customers, and this integration represents another step toward a fully modernized prepress workflow.”

Ultimate Impostrip® Pro Offset provides print professionals with complete control over page positioning, bleeds, scaling, and margins, helping maximize equipment capabilities while ensuring precise, high-quality output across digital and offset production. Designed for both seasoned prepress operators and newcomers, the solution adapts easily to a wide range of production needs. Attendees at PRINTING United can explore the new integrated workflow firsthand at Xitron demo stations inside the Hybrid Software Group Booth #3015, where live demonstrations will showcase how the combined technologies simplify prepress management and drive greater efficiency across print operations.
