Nostalgia

This picture of a dinner party in Israel was sent to us by the ExScite Moshe Broudo. Back in 1972, Scitex was the global leading company in imaging for textiles.
In this picture the product team is celebrating the first shipment of the “Mark 2” color separation scanner for textile design.
In the picture from right to left: Shmil Amit and his wife, Yossi Tayeb and his wife, the late Jacob Stein and his wife, Arie Levin and his wife Dalya Mazor, Moshe Broudo, and Mrs. and Israel Pearl .

If any of you have people and product pictures, fabric samples and other nostalgia from those days, please send us.

This picture was taken at the final-assembly facility of Scitex in Herzlia in 1983. It was when Scitex was planning to be the giant of the prepress industry, and reinvented itself and its product line? that is literally invented?.  The upper right section of this 1983 annual-report centerfold was created by an amazing new digital tool? CLONE BRUSH to give the awesome impression of a giant assembly line. It worked well, don’t you think?

A secret mission behind the Iron Curtain….
Korem (Ex-STCL, now with ScitexVision/Aprion) has sent us this picture, taken in the winter of 1982.
It was one of the first ELP and Super-Scanner Service mission in the Eastern Block, in what was once Czechoslovakia, in a village named Dvure Kralove ..
In the picture sitting on the left (the Ex Scitex Israel)- Dudu Shamir and sitting grinning in the middle – Aharon Korem.  The others in the picture are the customer’s operators.

As you may have noticed, ExScite have been regularly publishing chapters from Yossi Faybish’s book about his long experience at Scitex. We have just posted Chapter 12 (292 pages) and more are still to come. Go ahead, take a look, click here to access the posted chapters. The artistic rendering of the picture, is Yossi’s own creation. These days,  Yossi is product manager at HP/Indigo in Holland.

This picture was taken at Drupa 76(?) in Germany, when Scitex was still deep into imaging for textile and geo-cartography applications.
In the picture from the left:
Standing near the color separation scanner- Dani Herzka, and Steven Daniel . Sitting at the CIPC Console: Ilan Fono and Ruthie Gahtan (Evevn). Standing on the right is Herbert Cohen, a very important cusomer/partner of Scitex those days.

The ExScite Eli Israeli who managed the revolutionary project Response 300 color imaging system, had his work cut out for him. In addition to managing the development Eli had to host heads of states! When you click on his picture, circa +/- 1978 , you will see Eli demonstrating the system to the President of The State Of Israel, the honorable Itzhak Navon (standing behind with glasses).
These days Eli is with HP/Indigo in Rehovot Israel.

The child behind Eli is Efi’s son.

Anyone remembers the days when the HP 1000 was the workhorse computer-platform of the Scitex Response System and the Pixet was the most modern digital imaging workstation in the world ?
