The talented Leonardo Da Shmulico has drawn many cartoons and illustration about
Scitex, during his long career at the company. Since leaving Scitex, Shmulik Succari has been
providing graphic design, creation and illustration services to corporations in
under the name of
Studio Arteshock

This illustration can be seen [and many others] at the Scitex section of Shmulik’s website. The
picture was fashioned after

DaVinchi’s “Last Supper” depicting Scitex’s top management in their worst moments in 1985.

Spotted at the Photokina trade show in Cologne, Germany in September 2004.
Most of the faces are of the Leaf/Scitex [Creo] people. The others were there as ExScite’s in other booths. In the collage:

Assa Bar Lev has sent us this picture (and others to be published later) from Boston.
It was taken in November 1970 at the lab in Scientific Technology (what later became Scitex) in Rehovot, Israel.
In the picture from the left: Assa Bar Lev, Amiram Chen (sitting) and Jacob Laor. The group was busy developing a fast servo system for X-Y Stepping Stage for TAC (Teledyne) positioner.

This historic shot was taken in September of 1979. The picture and the story behind it was sent to us by Dennis Kaliser.

It was the first “formal” R-300 AE training class made up mostly of new hires.
The only previously trained AE’s were R-200 vets Ruthi Gahtan, Uri Lebowitz, and Melene Follert. Uri and Melene were already in the field doing the first customer trainings when this picture was taken. Ruth Gahtan was working with R&D as I recall.
The class was supervised by Reuven Treep seen sitting in the foreground. He taught the class all the concepts carried over from the R-200. He was part instructor, part student teacher of the printing stuff and some of what I knew of the R300 to date. Most of the hands on instruction was done by R&D people. I don’t remember everyone’s full name but here is who is who from left to right in the picture.

1. Dennis Kaliser (with the afro cut)
2. Jonathan Mayshar (Long career with Scitex and Scitex users worldwide)
3. Javier Kassel (Later became Demo center manager in STE and worked in sales at STA)
4. Mark Levinson (not an AE. He was the only R300 technical and marketing writer at that time.)
5. Reuven Treep (R200 vets), worked for Scitex as an AE and later worked for users in South Africa, the Far East, Italy, Spain Russia, Holland and many other countries around the world.
6. Avi Ben Arzi X pilot, left Scitex shortly after training.
7. Eli Friedlander (another long career with Scitex and Scitex users worldwide)
8. Tzachi Krelenstein (became AE in Europe for about one year)
9. Judith (forgot her last name) (Left Scitex before end of training)
10. Dan (or Don, I forgot which) Sharon (became AE in Europe for about two years).
