Global Graphics Launches Harlequin Partner Network

Global Graphics has launched its first partner program, the Harlequin Partner Network, to maximize the value of the Harlequin RIP while creating a framework for third-party vendors to develop and integrate their products more efficiently, according to the company.

Initial members include Pageflex, Color-Logic, Ultimate TechnoGraphics, Hamillroad Software, Bodoni Systems, Dynagram, and Alwan. Global Graphics expects the network to expand to include vendors of products used in newsprint and publishing, direct mail, packaging, and wide-format graphics:

“There are already many third-party products designed to work with the Harlequin RIP that we are aware of but there could be many others who would benefit from joining,” says Martin Bailey, Global Graphics chief technology officer. “With the Harlequin Partner Network, we are building a cooperative environment in which software developers can thrive. It offers companies the opportunity to learn, share, innovate, and enjoy increased success.”

Network members can request copies of the Harlequin RIP for use in their test labs and will receive alerts about upcoming releases and enhancements. They will also have limited access to Global Graphics support teams and product management, and the opportunity to influence and take part in co-marketing programs.
