The Delano was first shown at Drupa 2000 as a project of Agfa Corp. to develop a Web-based project-management system that would allow print buyers, prepress companies and printers to control time-critical or very complex printing jobs over the Internet. In 2003, Agfa installed Delano at four different printing companies. Three were members of Quebecor Group: a book printer in the U.S., a magazine and comic-book printer in Canada, and a magazine printer in Sweden. The fourth customer was Maldon, England-based Wyndeham Heron, a leading magazine printer in Great Britain.
