A Good Start for Year 2014

Two Newsflow going into Indonesia at the same time. 
 



{26 Dec, 2013]  Compose received an order from a well-known Newspaper group in Indonesia today - two Newsflow systems to be deployed in Jakarta, Indonesia. This customer expects these two full Systems to be installed together with all the other features like web growth, before end of January, 2014.

Newsflow is a Newspaper page Imposition solution, developed by Compose software engineers. Newspaper page is normally handled by individual editor, when the page is finished, it will then send to Newsflow for imposition.  Newsflow on receipt of each individual page will group them together with other pages to form a signature before making a plate.  The layout diagram on each daily production works in color, showing which page is in waiting, which signature is ready to send to CTP, and which has already been outputted.


Newsflow can be monitored remotely through internet on its daily production, giving greater flexibility to management to understand the progress through an internet browser. 

Web growth is a feature which allows CMYK page to be ripped at different resolution, providing an added compensation for the paper to get stretched as each color is printed.
