X-Rite Launches New Pressroom Quality Control Software for Printers and Converters

X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in color science and technology, and Pantone LLC announced the launch of ColorCert QA, a new pressroom quality assurance software designed to drive excellence in the pressroom by helping customers manage standards more efficiently, optimize jobs on press and facilitate strong ink room integration. With improved quality control, commercial and package printers can reduce the time and complexity associated with managing color standards and minimize waste, ultimately reducing reprints and rejections and increasing the number of jobs they are able to run per shift.

"As run lengths and delivery times continue to grow shorter, press operators can no longer afford to adjust color with multiple trial-and-error corrections," said Ray Cheydleur, Printing and Imaging Product Portfolio Manager, X-Rite. "ColorCert QA provides valuable information essential for an efficient pressroom. Not only does the software indicate pass/fail when measured color is compared to the color standard, but it also provides guidance on actions the press operator can take to ensure the job meets color expectations. This significantly reduces trial-and-error adjustments, saving time and reducing waste."

ColorCert QA is part of the ColorCert Suite, a modular set of tools to streamline color communications, provide actionable data for color adjustments and enable better utilization of existing people, processes and technologies throughout the print and packaging workflow. The new ColorCert QA module supports a non-job-based workflow, helping achieve color accuracy and consistency, especially when used in conjunction with an X-Rite eXact handheld spectrophotometer. Read all the latest news.

Key features of ColorCert QA:

X-Rite and Pantone will be demonstrating the ColorCert Suite, including the new ColorCert QA module, at Label Expo 2018, Sept 25-27 in booth #5202. At the show, attendees will also see an exclusive demo of the new cross-platform integrated workflow solution between X-Rite, Pantone, Esko and AVT. Read related news now.

Walker Training and Consulting Introduces magic@work, a Career Coaching Program Designed to Empower Women of Color

The workplace is especially challenging for women of color. This is according to the Women in the Workplace research study conducted through a long-term partnership between LeanIn.org and Mckinsey & Company.

"Women of color face more obstacles and a steeper path to leadership, from receiving less support from managers to getting promoted more slowly. This affects how they view the workplace and their opportunities for advancement. Overall two patterns are clear; compared to white women, things are worse for women of color, and they are particularly difficult for Black women."

There is a plethora of research that makes the business case for the advancement of women of color. The magic@work program positions women of color to succeed in their careers, despite obstacles. This creates a win for women of color and organizations committed to the advancement of women of color.

Ethel Walker, owner of Walker Training and Consulting and Certified Professional Career Coach, says "as minority women, we bring skills, talent and a unique perspective to the table. We often need tools and support to help us navigate career challenges and capitalize on opportunities. We need trusted advocates to offer support and guidance. This was my main driver to developing this targeted career coaching program. I want to help women of color change the way they view the workplace and their opportunities for advancement. I want to empower women of color to leverage their strengths and take control of their career."

The magic@work program is a 6-month career coaching and advocacy program. The cost is $1,000 per participant if paid in advance. A monthly payment option is also available. Additional discounts are available for organizations that enroll multiple participants.

Leading wireless headphone brand, Rowkin, is delighted to announce the release of a brand new product line, the Rowkin Ascent. Still the smallest true wireless earbuds available on the market, the Rowkin Ascent is their most technologically advanced and most comfortable true wireless earbuds, to date.

Read this here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/netnumber-expands-number-portability.html

The Rowkin Ascent line includes three available options depending on the customer's preferences and requirements: the Ascent Charge+, Ascent Charge, and the Ascent Micro.

Click here to read the latest news.

Our Most Secure and Comfortable Fit Yet
The Ascent line features a brand new earbud design, for ease of use, comfort and most importantly, a secure fit. Instead of a bulky ear hook or over-the-head style, Ascent earbuds were ergonomically designed with comfort in mind. The compact size of the earbuds and their removable rubber retention wheels provide security without irritating the ear, perfect for adventure seekers, athletes and active types.

Sophisticated Connectivity and Enhanced Sound
The Rowkin Ascent Charge/Charge+ and Ascent Micro all come with Bluetooth 5.0 and Bluetooth Low Energy, and LDS antenna technology. All these new upgrades deliver a better true wireless connection and experience.

Qi Charging For a True Wireless Experience
Gone are the days of spending hours trying to untangle your earbuds and panicking to locate your charger, as the Ascent Charge+ provides the ultimate wireless earbud experience. Both the Ascent Charge and Ascent Charge+ are Qi-compatible (meaning they will work with any existing wireless charging pad), but the Ascent Charge+ includes a 5W Qi Charging pad for the ultimate wireless experience. Additionally, the Charge and Charge+ feature dual-function portable charging cases that charges your earbuds plus your mobile device via their single USB-C port component.

All Ascent earbuds have a 3.5 hour play/talktime for every single charge. The Ascent Charge/Ascent Charge+ charging case can recharge earbuds up to 15 times with a single charge, providing over 50 hours of listen or talk time.

The Ascent Micro is an ideal product for those looking for a more compact and portable experience. Small enough to fit in your pocket, the Ascent Micro comes in a small, yet powerful, portable charging case that can be charged via USB-C for up to 15 hours of listen or talk time.

Auto-On Quick Pairing and Touch Controls
The Ascent line is equipped with breezy auto-on quick pairing. This means that they automatically turn on and connect to your mobile device upon removal from their charging case, making for a seamless user experience. Instead of buttons, Ascent earbuds have capacitive touch controls that make set up, calling and controlling music simple to do with just two taps. You can also easily access voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant, giving you even less of a reason to reach for your phone - just tap the earbud three times to activate.

The Rowkin App
Available in the App Store is the Rowkin Ascent compatible app, providing users with step-by-step instructions on setup and pairing, EQ for a personalized sound experience, and an invaluable Find My Rowkin tracking feature, to help locate missing or misplaced earbuds.

Get a Second Look from Allen Tate Mortgage

For many years, home buyers would engage a Realtor®, search for the perfect home and then, secure mortgage financing. Today, it's quite the opposite, as getting pre-qualified or pre-approved (even better) for a mortgage is usually the first step toward homeownership. Click here to read the latest news.

"Pre-approval helps a buyer shop confidently and write a contract quickly when they find the right home," said Chris Cope, president, Allen Tate Mortgage. "It gives a buyer a dollar figure to work with."

But this approach can have limitations, said Cope. And buyers need to be sure.

Second Look, a new program from Allen Tate Mortgage, offers buyers a no-obligation, second opinion on their home financing, early in the process – before financing is locked in.

"Home buyers deserve more than just a piece of paper with a number. Second Look helps buyers make sure they're sure about their most important investment," said Cope.

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/pixel-film-studios-releases-fcpx-layers.html

With Second Look, a buyer who has been pre-qualified or pre-approved with another lender, meets face-to-face with an Allen Tate Mortgage loan officer. During this meeting, the loan officer will talk with the buyer about their financial goals and objectives, review a variety of loan options and programs (including those that may be unfamiliar to the buyer) and understand and compare interest rates, fees, services and other pieces of the financial puzzle.

"Home buying is extremely personal. We believe a buyer needs – and deserves – a personal, face-to-face consultation, to make sure they have explored all possibilities and the financing is right for them – not the lender," said Cope.

"And while we believe this is what most buyers want and need, we understand that their time is very valuable," said Cope. "So we'll give them a $100 VISA gift card just for taking 30 minutes to meet with us – whether or not they decide to work with us."

Second Look is available on all loans programs offered by Allen Tate Mortgage. Buyers must present a verified documented quote from a legitimate lender.

Certain terms and conditions apply. For more information, contact an Allen Tate Mortgage loan officer or visit http://mortgage.allentate.com/why/promotions.

Simplus, a leader in Salesforce Quote-to-Cash advisory, implementation and managed services, today announces the location of its new corporate headquarters in downtown Salt Lake City. This move to a more centrally located site, set for Fall 2018, is designed for three primary purposes: to expand office space for the growing company, to create co-workspace for Simplus customers and Salesforce partners, and to host a dedicated, state-of-the-art Salesforce training lab.

"The new Simplus headquarters not only opens up space to accommodate our growing workforce, but it also allows us to innovate as we create an environment that is welcoming, convenient and exceptionally functional for our customers, partners and guests," said Ryan Westwood, CEO of Simplus. "It will be a space designed for collaboration and education for everyone. A place where all Salesforce employees can enjoy and work when visiting Salt Lake City."

The Salesforce training lab will be a dedicated boot camp for educating customers and employees new to the Salesforce ecosystem. "In the lab, we will train, teach and create new Salesforce talent," Westwood said.

Securing space in the historic Clift Building, located at 10 W. Broadway in Salt Lake City, the Simplus office will be conveniently located in the heart of Salt Lake City's metro area, which is filled with popular and trendy dining options, world-class shopping, theaters, museums and hotels. The office is also directly across from Utah's public transit light rail system that connects to Salt Lake International Airport.

"In addition to the prime city center location, we were drawn to the impressive architecture of this historic 99-year-old building," said Isaac Westwood, COO of Simplus. "Being raised by an interior designer mother and an historian father, Ryan (CEO) and I were taught to appreciate the beauty of historic settings, particularly Salt Lake City's 19th and early 20th century buildings. The design of the Clift Building is important to us, and we plan on stripping back some of the interior layers to expose the historic fabric. We're excited to be part of MRCE, Inc., as the Clift and other city center buildings come back to life in Utah's growing 21st-century high tech economy."

The Clift Building, built in 1919, is one of Salt Lake City's largest terra cotta-faced structures. The eclectic facade of the eight-story building is reminiscent of the Second Renaissance Revival Style, and the architectural integrity, with the exception of the modified first floor, remains intact today. Named after Francis Clift, an immigrant pioneer from England, the building was commissioned by his wife, Virtue Butcher Clift, after he passed away in 1913.

Upon completion, the address for Simplus will be 10 W. Broadway, Ste. 510, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. For more information, please contact 1-833-SIMPLUS or email amyc@simplus.com.

VetStem Biopharma Begins Contract Human Stem Cell Manufacturing in San Diego

VetStem Biopharma has long been a leader in veterinary stem cell manufacturing with clinical, regulatory and manufacturing experience. In August 2018, VetStem signed its first contract manufacturing agreement to manufacture cells for human clinical trials. With one of the first GMP cell manufacturing facilities in California, VetStem is uniquely suited to assist biopharma companies with the regulatory and manufacturing of stem cells for use in preclinical studies and for Phase I and Phase II FDA human studies. In addition, VetStem is filing several human stem cell INDs using its veterinary data and experience to jumpstart its human stem cell development program.

VetStem has clinical data on over 17,000 veterinary stem cell treatments spanning 31 different species and has GCP, GTP, GMP, and GLP experience. As announced in 2017, VetStem completed the GMP cell therapy manufacturing facility at its headquarters laboratory in Poway, California. Based upon 12 years of GTP laboratory operations, VetStem constructed and validated a state-of-the-art GMP stem cell manufacturing plant. This clean room facility has already produced engineering and full product registration batches of stem cell product and those batches have been officially released for use in pivotal FDA studies of safety and efficacy.

Carolyn Wrightson, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer, stated "This facility is the culmination of six years of planning and research, supported by over 12 years of commercial stem cell laboratory operations by VetStem's experienced cell therapy team." According to Bob Harman, DVM, MPVM, CEO of VetStem, "Quality is the critical element necessary to bring stem cell therapy into mainstream medicine. VetStem has been committed to quality since its founding and has worked directly with the FDA, both veterinary and human divisions, to assure our facilities and products adhere to the strictest guidelines for safety and efficacy. We offer tours of the facility and are happy to provide proposals for contract manufacturing for stem cell products. VetStem has FDA master files that cover facilities and operations as well as key elements of IND submissions like stem cell vial validation and manufacturing methods for easy IND reference."

FDA cGMP regulations apply equally to veterinary and human products, so it was a natural progression to offer VetStem's facility and technical expertise to companies seeking to conduct their first human trials. VetStem's patient registry large animal data is also potentially available to license for assistance with the human FDA requirement for animal safety data before companies can enter human clinical trials. Dr. Harman stated, "We believe that we can really jumpstart cell manufacturing for new companies and potentially save years and millions of dollars of investment by utilizing our existing facilities and hundreds of standard operating procedures."

Prior to VetStem, Dr. Harman founded and operated the largest west coast contract preclinical animal laboratory conducting FDA submission safety and efficacy studies for veterinary and human biotech products. VetStem also has direct access to human clinical trial and IND consultants to assist companies in their regulatory filings and protocol designs.

Contact VetStem for more information or if you are interested in contract manufacturing for stem cell products.

More importantly, all report types auto-hydrate, auto-blend, auto-style and auto-package virtually instantaneously without requiring the need to export the QuickBooks® reports to Excel for manual styling, customizing and packaging.

According to Qvinci's Founder and Chief Innovation Officer Charles Nagel, who invented and designed the new tools, "this is not one size fits all canned KPIs, boilerplate dashboards or colorful charts and graphs offered by all others – it is a sophisticated but easy to implement report blending and business intelligence solution for the accounting firm of the future, or SMBs looking to use such emerging technologies as a competitive advantage."

According to Qvinci CEO, Brad Adams, "the advanced report blending and business intelligence capabilities are but the latest development in support of Qvinci's mission and vision that allows accountants and SMBs to create virtually unlimited permutations of business intelligence, KPIs and financial reports easily for any number of clients or business unit s and report it in one package delivered to all concerned timely, efficiently and repeatedly."
