1. World of HELIOS: Jive song makes Hannover prominent
19 year old Lena Meyer-Landrut from Hannover wins Eurovision Song
Contest with “Satellite”, a plain and easy pop song. Without
glossy or showy effects, Lena won over Europe with her voice,
a lovely surprise. We would like to thank everyone for voting
for Germany.

In a world of news reporting about economic crises, the oil spill
in the gulf, and the Euro currency weakness – Lena brings some
sunshine into the hearts of Europeans and people worldwide.
2. HELIOS & Quato Softproof Tour 2010
Our recent soft proof tour in Cologne, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart
and Frankfurt, presented the WebShare remote proofing solution,
which was very well received. The live demo compared the WebShare
soft proof on a Quato proofing monitor to both the actual print
run, as well as to a printed proof in a viewing booth. It convinced
all attendees. There is no doubt that our Fogra certified soft
proof can replace the print proof, and is ready to be installed
on your server for use by remote web clients.
We received additional feedback regarding proofing annotations,
a color inspector, and a 100% original page presentation. We are
already working on the development of these enhancements. In fact,
a 100% page size is now already available via update u0855.
WebShare proofing can also quickly be integrated into custom Web
applications either by opening the WebShare proofing Window or
fetching the proofing image via a URL.
You are welcome to visit www.helios.de
and ask your HELIOS partner for more details on the WebShare soft
proofing solution.
