Connected with Printempo and Mistral, Impostrip provides a simple multi-seat front-end to a high volume automated pre-press workflow said David Watson, president and chief executive officer at Ultimate.
"We are glad to team up with Dalim Software to offer JDF connectivity.
The combination of Impostrip with Mistral and Printempo JDF enabled workflow and print production systems will help printers implement a more trouble-free production environment.
JDF allows a printer to use the most sophisticated imposition software with the file predictability and the management efficiency of a Dalim Software workflow.
This can save considerable time and money for printers because they can have a much more controlled plate-imaging environment," said Watson.
"Printers can use Impostrip for some of its features like Origami, virtual paper folding, to achieve reliability in their imposition planning and seamlessly pass that information on through JDF to their workflow," he added.
Mistral is a JDF-compliant web-based common electronic submission interface and print production management system for tracking, administration, assembly, correction and approval of all types of publishable material.
The system is claimed to allow all parties involved in the development of print projects to have a single, common electronic interface to receive information on the development of the project in real time, from the convenience of a web browser.
Printempo is a browser-based JDF-enabled print production system that can be used by a printer using any common web browser, on any client platform, to monitor the status of the production of pages and trigger actions such as the generation of plates or proofs.
Gee Ranasinha, worldwide director of marketing at Dalim Software said: "The extensive JDF support in Mistral and Printempo gives our customers the ability to enjoy important reductions in overall manufacturing costs and the benefits of JDF throughput using our print production systems.
Impostrip provides an industry standard imposition front-end which complements and expands our modular workflow solution to suit end users specific applications - and all within a JDF environment.".
