Nostalgia

It was 1992 and love was in the air- that is –the courtship between the fast growing Scitex and the startup Nur Macroprint.
On a special request from Scitex, Nur has prepared this billboard poster on the yet-to-be-completed inkjet printer. The very large print was posted on a strategically positioned billboard, right on the exit road from the Tel Aviv Ben-Gurion airport.
It had been posted there to welcome a large group of European customers who came for a few days visit and (lots of) pleasure in the Holy Land.

This picture was published in the internal company newspaper in Herzlia in the late 1980’s. Those were the days when Scitex Israel employees used to go on fun filled field trips.
In the picture Yossi Rahima is leading the charge in one of those trips and behind him is the late Etan Maron.
If any of you readers have Rahima’s Email address, please Email to content@exscite.net .

One of our members has posted in the Guestbook below a good headline for the image:
“…In the picture, I think Amos just realized what he actually paid for the Scitex Pre-Press business and so did Yoav…”

This picture has been sent to us from Dusseldorf.

If you had the chance to take pictures at the show- don’t wait, send them to me to be posted at ExScite/Nostalgia.

For all those who ever dined at the 5-star restaurant at Scitex (err… Creo) in Herzliya, here is a real nostalgic picture. In the front from the left: Ronny Fogel, Yoel Amir and Shmil Amit.
The photo was taken by Aharon Nizani during a short visit in Israel.

Jacob Frommer has sent us a real old picture, from the days when the startup was still Scientific Technology Ltd., [later became to be known as Scitex].

 The picture was taken around 1971, when the company was in Rehovot Israel.
The young Frommer is kneeling next to the first fabric knitting machine-controller, which he had helped to develop. The picture was taken by Efi Arazi on a Friday afternoon on Weitzman Institute lawn, just before the Controller was shipped to the first customer
.

September 1995. Klaus Fischer (STA Technical Consultant, Atlanta)
and Denice DePalma (STA Trainer, Los Angeles) are pictured here while shopping on  Sheynkin Street in Tel Aviv.
They were in Israel for the Advanced Scanner class. The picture was sent to us by  Laura DeLaurentis form Elmhurst  Illinois.

The joint development program between Scitex and Kodak Approval, was announced at Drupa in 1990. The (then) $250,000 proofer married a Kodak-developed recorder to a Scitex Whisper controller. The recorder produced about three proofs an hour on several paper stocks at 1,800 dpi, using inks developed for commercial sheet-fed or SWOP applications. The proofer applied screening to the contones using traditional Scitex screening.
The negotiations with Kodak were long and complex. This picture was taken at the final marathon-negotiation session in Herzlia in 1989 or 1990. Standing from left to right (click on the picture to enlarge):
Richard (Kodak), Moshe Broudo, Yoav Chelouche, Gideon Keydar, Shelagh Hammer, Aharon Nizani, Steve(Kodak) and Vic (Kodak).
Gideon is holding the clock to show that the negotiations were still going strong at 4 AM…..
