Strong Sales For Newspaper Workflow Software
Proimage has announced strong third quarter sales for Newsway, its browser-based automated newspaper production workflow software.
Bold Printing Group is a newspaper print supplier and last year printed more than 40 titles with a total of approximately 850 million copies.
The ink saving system for the Bold Printing Group consists of three Oncolor ECO servers situated at DNEX, the group's central pre-press facility.
There they are integrated in to and load balanced by the Newsway workflow system.
Oncolor ECO is said to automatically analyse PDF files and determines the exact amount of ink needed to produce the optimum print quality.
Proimage said that the workflow is fully automated with products being assigned different processing set-ups to ensure optimised output, depending upon such matters as different priorities, products and the paper quality on which they are to be printed.
Conny Bergkvist, pre-press manager at Bold Printing Group, explained: "Oncolor ECO reduces ink consumption and, therefore, our carbon footprint.
Ink savings of more than 15 per cent are already being achieved on our presses, whilst we are maintaining the highest possible print quality." He said: "Incoming files are mainly paired PDF tabloid pages.
The average processing time for each file is 20 seconds, which provides a possible peak load of 540 files per hour across all three servers, which gives us plenty of spare capacity.".
