Strauss Offsetdruck has been producing books and other printed materials since 1999 with VivaImpose.

Strauss is a middle-sized printing company with 18 employees that has concentrated on the production of hardback and paperback books starting from 200 copies in any language.

The company, founded 18 years ago, is fully competent in all aspects of digital production. Well organised with short lead times, they guarantee delivery by being constantly up to date with the technology, by working with reliable partners, and with a customer-oriented paper store with sufficient reserves to allow them to be wholly flexible.

Strauss was the first company to use the Fujifilm CelebraNT RIP together with VivaImpose for the imposition of book data. Many customers were at that time still delivering hard copy data which had to be scanned due to its complex content (scientific formulae, etc.). The best scanners still gave a picture that was not quite straight. Viva solved this problem by developing a scan correction program which corrected the orientaion of the pages for importing into VivaImpose.

In 2006, Strauss upgraded their RIP for an accelerated workflow, integrated a new automatic preflighting, and switched to VivaImpose for Windows.
