COMPANY INTRODUCTION公司简介

VCortex was established in February 2005. The company has developed a system prototype with beta expected late 2007, established design partnerships with major press manufacturers and submitted PCT patent for unique design and use of an innovative sensor unit for the purpose of color density measurement and control of a color printing press. Other patents (micro electronics, optics and color analysis) – are under preparation.

VCortex公司成立于2005年2月。该公司已经开发出系统原型测试版，并预计于2007年底与大的印刷制造商建立设计合伙关系，提交PCT专利，该专利是关于彩印中色彩密度处理和控制的新型传感器的设计和使用。其它专利（微电子，光学和色彩分析）均在准备之中。

VCortex' vision is to pioneer the third generation of print digitalization. The first revolution was started by Scitex with the debut of pre-press workstations, and the second by Creo with its Computer to Plate systems. These Israeli-originated ventures transformed the color management in pre-press and plate making processes from Analog to Digital. VCortex' aim is to raise the digital color management to the next level - into the production floor.

VCortex的理念是成为第三代数字印刷的先锋。第一次革命是由Scitex带着他的预压工作站登场，第二次是由Creo和它的计算机直接制版系统引领。这些以色列起源的企业使得预压和制版过程中的色彩处理由模拟到数字化发生了转变。VCortex的目标是把数字化色彩处理提高到一个新的水平——进入生产阶段。

PROJECT SUMMARY 项目概要

VCortex has developed a fast, color scanner to be installed into the most common offset presses which controls the ink keys automatically, replacing the currently required manual operation. Thus, the setup time is reduced by a factor of 10, resulting in significant economies in work hours and paper.

VCortex已经研发了一种快速的，可以安装到最常见的平版印刷中的色彩扫描仪，它能自动控制油墨键，取代当前需要的手动操作。因此安装时间减少一个10的因数，这在工作时间和纸张上有极大的节约。

The VCortex solution is in-line with the forces that are currently driving the printing market: rising portion of color jobs, shorter runs, and the strong drive for shorter setup time due to hard pressure on cost.

VCortex的解决方案与当前操纵印刷市场的力量相一致，即增加色彩就业部分，更短的运行，更短的安装时间。

MARKET 市场

VCortex’ unique and patented development enables, for the first time, the utilization of color control for the sheet-fed press market. The installed base of the high-end portion of sheet-fed offset presses is estimated at 80,000 units. With an average VCortex system price of $70,000, this market potential value is above $5B. Automatic Color Control systems are currently sold for web presses (presses fed by rolls of paper) only, in an estimated annual volume of $80 M.

VCortex的独特的和有专利性的发明第一次实现薄片印刷市场上色彩控制的应用。薄片平版印刷高端部分的安装基数大约在8万个单位左右。结合VCortex系统的均价大约是7万美元，这个市场的潜在价值将高于50亿美元。自动色彩控制系统目前仅售于网络印刷方面（由纸的滚转提供压力），每年的估计量大约为8000万美元。
