NewsWay automation saves time at the

Visalia Times-Delta and Tulare Advance-Register

 

       -      produces higher print quality, less waste and improved productivity

       -      manages two new CtP lines

 

 

Princeton, NJ – April, 2008:  When the Visalia Times-Delta and Tulare Advance-Register, California, decided to implement CtP technology it knew it had to provide its new Screen machines with complete digital pages. This meant a solution that could integrate the digital files coming from a variety of pre-press systems as well as provide sophisticated page-pairing complete with fan-out, and load share the driving of two new CtP lines and an optical plate bender.

 

The solution selected was ProImage NewsWay.

 

Some of the financial and environmental benefits of NewsWay already enjoyed by the newspaper include a reduction of waste - plates, newsprint and ink - as well as improved productivity.

 

“NewsWay was very easy to learn and understand.  It also consistently runs without problems,” said Dee Dee Gober, Information Technology Director, Visalia Times-Delta and Tulare Advance-Register. “We wish all vendors operated the way ProImage does. It would make other projects much easier to complete. Their technical and sales support is really excellent.

 

“We find the fan out, automated page pairing, page viewing, and reporting features particularly valuable,” David Sutton, Operations Manager, adds. “NewsWay has consolidated a number of different people in different areas into one person in one area, and this has allowed us to allocate human resources to other projects.”

 

“ProImage prides itself in developing industrial strength software for the needs of newspapers of all sizes,” says Rick Shafranek, VP of Sales, New ProImage America. “The sophisticated feature set of NewsWay addresses the highly complex needs of newspapers publishing multi-edition, multi-zone publications. However not every publisher needs that sophistication, so why buy features you don’t yet need?

 

“Because NewsWay is modular it is also perfect for smaller newspapers with more limited requirements, such as the Visalia Times-Delta and Tulare Advance-Register - and it can always be upgraded if the need arises.”

 

Integration and control:

At the Visalia Times-Delta and Tulare Advance-Register, NewsWay takes digital files from Managing Editor’s ALS, Mactive’s PGL, OneVision’s Asura, Baseview NewsEditIQue, QuarkXpress, GMG’s Ink Optimizer, DPS’ AdTracker, and Adobe Creative Suites, and integrates them to provide one easy-to-use end-to-end production workflow solution.
