The NEWSXTREME Family of Products NEWSXTREME is a family of advanced prepress workflow modules that can be implemented separately or as one completely automated system. The NEWSXTREME product line consists of XTREME Workflow, XTREME Composing and XTREME Inking. NEWSXTREME is the next generation software for film and CTP production workflow environments. The system was designed for efficient high-speed throughput and with a user-friendly interface to make complicated workflows easy to manage. Through our experience over the last 13 years, developing, integrating and supporting both our products and other vendors, we engineered the answer to newspapers’ workflow needs. NEWSXTREME was built to match the demands of our customers and the market as they continue to evolve.

XTREME Workflow The XTREME Workflow module is the heart and brains of the system. From the time files enter the system via the managed watch folders, prepress workflow automation is achieved. XTREME Workflow can accept and manage any type of file format used in publishing production environments including PDF, TIFF, EPS and more. The system combines naming convention filtering, priority defining tools and conditional error detection. Based on defined rules, files are intelligently routed to specific destinations to be manipulated and/or output. XTREME Workflow includes load balancing, on-screen proof review, 3rd-party software integration and birds-eye production tracking.

XTREME Composing XTREME Composing is an extremely powerful bitmap manipulation engine that utilizes its built-in intelligence to efficiently prepare pages to be output to any CTP and/or film device. This software is vendor independent and can be easily configured for image-ready final output. XTREME Composing accepts group 4 TIFF files to be assembled for final layout. Bitmap file manipulation capabilities include page pair, 4-up, rotate, flip, invert, negate, merge, double burn, crop and add elements (text, barcodes, furniture, etc.). The entire process is done automatically based on a plan. The system includes a low-resolution preview for content proofing.

XTREME Inking The third NEWSXTREME module, XTREME Inking is currently in operation at five US newspapers, including the Gainesville Sun (FL), the Lakeland Ledger (FL), Ocala Star-Banner (FL), New York Times Edison Plant and Wilmington Star-News (NC). The software automatically calculates ink density values and sends that information digitally to the press control system. The benefit of XTREME Inking is its ability to save you the time and money that is normally wasted at the start of each press run, waiting for a quality page to print. This software achieves the quickest possible start time by utilizing the same data used to make the plates and sharing it with the Press Control System. In addition, the return on investment for this system is notable, especially during times of escalating paper prices.

Benefits of the NEWSXTREME Workflow

An easy to use web-based GUI, aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and simple to maneuver.

Configuration is simple, allowing for new products or jobs to be set up in minutes by end users, no longer is it necessary to contact the vendor for assistance or worst yet to have to come on site to accomplish this task.

New Technology is based on .NET framework, utilizing XML Web Services and SQL, meaning that this solution is just evolving and is nowhere near reaching the end of its technological life cycle like many other solutions.

Fully automated -- once configured and installed, it requires minimal intervention in the movement and routing of files due to the Intelligent Routing Technology powered with extensive rules processing.

Affordably priced so that any size newspaper can benefit from all the powerful XTREME Workflow features... not cheaper with watered down functionality like other vendors.
