Presteligence Alliances with Southern Lithoplate

North Canton, OH, November 21, 2006

Presteligence, Inc., an industry leading workflow software developer, and Southern Lithoplate, Inc., the industry leading supplier of thermal news CtP printing plates with a well established customer base, announce their strategic alliance to uniquely package a complete CtP solution to prospective publishers. Southern Lithoplate and Presteligence recognized the need to present a solution comprised of plates, imaging devices, and workflow software in order to maintain their competitive presence with the larger conglomerates.

"Moving to CtP is an important decision for newspapers and requires education for best practices. Forming an alliance with Southern Lithoplate allows us to combine our newspaper industry expertise and offer the best possible CtP workflow solution at the best overall value," says Bob Behringer, President and CEO of Presteligence.

"Presteligence has already demonstrated the power and value in NewsXtreme SN workflow with several of our customers. As the market continues the move to CtP, the Presteligence program has particular benefits for customers looking for a solid user friendly newspaper workflow. Southern Lithoplate welcomes Presteligence to our CtP Solution Alliance Partnership," according to Steve Mattingly, Vice President, Southern Lithoplate.

Contained as a fully integrated web-based system, NewsXtreme includes page pairing up to 16-up imposition, soft-proofing, multi-burn, load balancing, fan-out, creep adjustment, email error notifications, and built-in redundancy. The system's flexibility and scalability meets the demands of newspapers of all sizes.

Both companies feel their individual components are the best solutions available, and when combined together, the newspapers reap the rewards of a highly customized solution from vendors focused solely on the newspaper market.
