EWF supports DI presses from Prestek

Express Workflow has been around for a long time, but did you know EWF can generate native Presstek files?
EWF does this by taking ripped 1 bit files from it's own interpreter or from an outside RIP and turns them into color coded Presstek files, including a high quality preview file for the Presstek console.

Many of our customers running EWF with the Presstek module will add DI Proof to their setup. After a job has been processed by the Express Harlequin RIP, DI Proof picks up the separated raster data and generates a recombined contone PDF file. This PDF can be generated in different resolutions. A low res version can be sent to customers as a content proofs. A high resolution version can be sent to a proofer or viewed on screen. This raster PDF will be the same size with the same trapping, overprint, font and color information as the files that will end up printed on press.

If you have EWF and you are thinking about a Presstek system, all you need to do is acquire the Presstek module for your EWF. If in the other hand, you already have a Presstek, but you're running an older RIP and would like to bring your solution up to date, we have a solution for you. In any case, contact your Compose dealer or me directly for more information.
