Planpag defines volumes and book structures on the basis of the printing possibilities of the web press and integrates the future advertising system and the Saxotech editorial system.
PPI Media added that all finished page elements from the advertising and editorial departments are automatically forwarded to Pro-Pag page assembly system, where they are assembled in to digital pages.
Like the page assembly process, the RIP processes will in future also be fully-automated.
The output management system used at the publisher's, Printnet OM, forwards the digital pages on a priority-driven basis to PPI Harlequin RIPs, which convert the pages to colour-separated TiffG4 bit-maps and then transfers them directly to the printing house for imaging.
Christian Finder, sales director at PPI Media, underlined the strategic significance for the Abu Dhabi Media Company of investing in the installation: "Standardisation, automation and integration potential are the decisive factors for a long-term cost-effective production workflow system that is secure and flexible.
With its decision to install our Publishing Workflow, the Abu Dhabi Media Company will not only benefit from state-of-the-art technology but it will secure maximum investment protection for this ambitious project with regard to possible upgrades." The media company was established in June 2007 by Abu Dhabi's president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan.
