Waccamaw Publishers makes the switch to NewsXtreme Cloud

Posted

When aging technology became an issue, Waccamaw Publishers knew a change was needed. The choice was Presteligence's NewsXtreme Cloud.

Out with the old

NewsXtreme Cloud replaces Waccamaw’s outdated ECRM violet CTP and “Newsmates” workflow and provides them with a secure and reliable cloud-based workflow that boasts 24/7 uptime availability. Additionally, the solution offers class-leading support from the Presteligence team, ensuring that the implementation process runs smoothly, and any issues are addressed quickly.

Plate management and efficiency

With NewsXtreme Cloud, plate management is now faster than before. Once the plates are approved via a secure web browser connection, the plate tiffs automatically download into the Kodak Press Console software for CTP output. Waccamaw now benefits from the quality and efficiency of a Kodak Thermal plate, without a chemical processor.

Excitement about the new system was expressed.

"This system is so easy to use, it's going to make my production cycle easier."
Becky Stevens - production manager for Waccamaw Publishers

Additional features

Waccamaw Publishers now uploads PDF files via FTP into the NewsXtreme Cloud load balancers, with the NewsXtreme system automating the process of PDF preflight and file correction with PDF Corrector. Ink optimization is managed by Ink-Miser, which reduces ink usage on press and produces cleaner images.

Growth

With the implementation of NewsXtreme Cloud, Waccamaw Publishers is poised to take the next step in its growth as a company. Presteligence, in partnership with Kodak, is proud to provide them with the tools needed to take those first steps.
