Wondering if it’s possible to reach greater productivity
with fewer hours and resources?
Time and time again, NewsXtreme amazes our customers by the speed at which their files move through prepress. As a result, there’s more time for the production of new jobs while decreasing the number of pre-press hours per job. NewsXtreme’s product planning wizard makes scheduling pages, plates, and colors a breeze. By establishing multiple priority levels for products throughout the day, jobs process based on deadline, maximizing your press time. Its straightforward, intuitive interface ensures users the backup support of each other for routine daily tasks. Cross-training each department reduces bottlenecks and improves communication.
Are you the person your workers call when production
problems occur?
Users can remotely manage and modify workflow at
any given time. With its browser-based infrastructure, NewsXtreme
is accessible from any computer with an internet connection so late
night visits to the office are a thing of the past. Email notifications
proactively alert the necessary people when errors occur or editions
become complete. Impress your superiors with detailed reports on
any or all of the components of workflow, missed deadlines, and errors,
eliminating the need for paper checklists and manual reporting.
Are erroneous files from existing customers affecting
your desire or ability to expand your commercial work?
If you answered
yes to this question, inquire about NewsXtreme’s Preflight. The preflight engine auto-corrects common errors such as RGB to CMYK, ensuring that your pages are print-ready and greatly improving the speed of getting a proof to your clients. The ability to remotely soft proof pages enhances your commercial customer’s confidence in printing, meanwhile, eliminating potential plate waste on your end. Soft proofing includes sticky-note annotations on the proof, measuring tools, and the ability to accept or reject by page or section.
Do you have multiple commercial
customers and need multiple editors’ approval on pages?
NewsXtreme’s user admin tool allows for customizable log-in privileges, enabling the publisher to create access for any type of user’s unique needs. This flexibility gives different rights to such users as the press crew, pre-press operators, commercial accounts, and the system administration staff. Let editors approve only their relative pages and set up commercial customers to see only their own publications for soft proofing.
Is there a digital fix to those nagging press
registration challenges?
It’s time to talk to us. In our site audit, we will uncover your ‘problem areas’ and indicate how NewsXtreme can help to resolve them. Fan-Out function compensates for web growth so your registration is spot-on in all publications. Creep Adjustment function offsets your margins giving you the ability to print thicker products. The ability to see the color schedule in NewsXtreme lets you prepare your press in advance for the next job. These features are built-in within NewsXtreme so a user doesn’t need to jump from one interface to another.
How can you tell if prepress workflow management system is right for your newspaper?
Ask to see a live demonstration to view the workflow encounter from
beginning to end, including the sequence of screens. And ask to
see the encounter again focusing on changes in workflow definition
has resulted in the appropriate changes in screen sequence.
How difficult is the system to learn?
The learning curve in implementing a system that isn’t user-friendly can be time-intensive. Time-draining options include reading of manuals and taking a class. The NewsXtreme wizard-based controls are designed to be learned on the job and built to handle staff turnover.
Do I need to be a tech expert?
Quite simply no. NewsXtreme is intuitive and easy-to-use from the
start.
Why is the NewsXtreme browser-based architecture superior to a client/server-based architecture?
Ease-of-operator use for one. More importantly a user doesn’t need to jump from one interface to another saving an enormous amount of time. And don’t
forget the convenience of remote access.
Is NewsXtreme cross-browser compatible?
NewsXtreme supports the most recent versions of Explorer, Firefox,
and Safari on MACs and PCs.
Can NewsXtreme handle different levels of users?
Sure. Customized user levels are the heart of the system. How do proofs compare to final output?
Proofs are generated from the same high-res images that are sent
to film or CTP. Authorized users can approve all or specific separations
to move forward in the workflow.
How easy is it to create new plate templates?
A step-by-step wizard creates templates in minutes including pairing
and imposition of 16-up inside and outside double-trucks, adding
customizable page furniture and more.
Tell me about NewsXtreme reporting capabilities?
All logs show all system activity with time and date stamps. Users
can easily sort and filter logs to troubleshoot problems.
What’s a typical installation like?
The installation of the NewsXtreme software ranges from a few days
to two weeks depending on the size of the newspaper and system integration.
What are the upgrade options?
Some competitive systems are set in stone and virtually impossible to upgrade. Presteligence upgrades and version releases are included as part of the service support contract. Presteligence is in constant contact with our customer base for suggestions to improve performance as well as ease-of-use.
What type of support do you offer?
We offer service support contracts to all our customers. Our support
is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
