Unlimited workflow(s) with EWF!


Prepress production has been evolving rapidly trying to keep up with the new developments on the hardware market and DTP. Many processes have moved from manual labor to a digital process. That requires new skills of the operators and tools to maintain a streamlined prepress production. However the know-how of the operator remains a strong element in the production area.


Let me introduce to you, Composes’ workflow concept. The modular Express Workflow has been on the market for many years doing exactly what is required, namely transferring data from one process to the next. Whether the data format is PostScript, PDF, TIFF, EPS or any other format, the workflow configuration takes care of the data.
“What is special about that?” I hear you say, and we agree. That is what all workflows do. It is just one of many products to choose from. So what makes Express workflow so unique or why should you even consider working with this product.

Imagine a concept, where a print production manager or a production planner, submits the job when the plates are required in the press room and the plates are waiting for the printer to be picked up a couple of minutes later?

Automated processing requires evaluation of your production environment. Generally we are talking about the product specifications, available presses and finishing. Compose’s production software for imposition, step&repeat and print optimizing handles most of the exceptions, not only manually but it can be setup as an automated process in the workflow via the automation queues. But also tasks like trapping, CIP3, proofing, are managed automatically.
Express workflow offers full integration of production processes and remote access via browser. The widget, allows set up of multiple standardized production methods, with the option to adjust the parameters on request. With a simple drag and drop, the job will automatically run the job task list without human intervention or error.


Do you have too many parameters to standardize and streamline your production? Check if Compose can offer what you have been looking for, to streamline your Prepress from DTP to final print.
