ECRM Quote
"ECRM WorkMates NEWS enables production managers to automate defined tasks accelerate productivity and instantly become compatible with desired file formats " notes ECRM Product Manager John Marzec. "WorkMates NEWS is also easily expandable inexpensive and user-friendly allowing for fast implementation. Automated PDF Workflows offer several production advantages. Traditionally files are received by the RIP converted to 1-bit TIFFs and processed to plates. With WorkMates NEWS newspapers will be able to capture the file in a PDF format impose RIP and proof as well as preview the file prior to imaging. This enables files on the RIP to be repurposed at a later date saving valuable time in deadline-sensitive operations."
