Unbeatable Performance – On Demand
The biggest challenge for the Newspaper and Periodical printer is that of Time – there’s never enough of it!  One reason why Dalim Software systems are used in newspapers, periodicals and journals around the World is because of their unrivalled performance when and where it matters most.  Systems such as DALiM TWiST, DALiM PRiNTEMPO and DALiM MiSTRAL can be optimised to run at WHATEVER performance criteria your production demands of them.  Whether you need to produce 20 pages an hour or 2000 pages or more, Dalim Software systems can produce the goods dependably, reliably and profitably, time after time.


Print-Predictability
When time is against you, the last thing you need to worry about is that late file not RIPping correctly.  Dalim Software’s unique P2 (“Print-Predictability”) file optimisation technology allows you to produce ‘bullet-proof' files that your RIP will interpret faster and more reliably.  By standardising on a ‘single common source’ to produce the files that are to be sent to the RIP means greater production throughput, less RIPping errors, greater system reliability and later deadlines.  Many users comment that, as a result of deploying a Dalim Software system, their RIPs now run faster!  This is because one of the things that our P2 Technology does to perform certain file-output tasks at the server-level (image cropping, scaling, rotation, vignette management and optimisation, etc.) that the RIP no longer needs to perform.  By removing the RIP production bottleneck, files are output faster and more reliably. DALiM SWiNG, DALiM TWiST, DALiM PRiNTEMPO and DALiM MiSTRAL all feature P2 file optimisation technology as standard.


Advertising Submission, Job Tracking, Online Project Collaboration
In a fast-paced production environment, the procedure for digital advertisement submission needs to be made simple, as automated as possible, while maintaining the performance and reliability that’s required.  Dalim Software’s web-based file submission toolsets seamlessly integrate with our premedia servers producing robust, fit-for-Print files.  Our web-based systems DALiM PRiNTEMPO and DALiM MiSTRAL allow complete advertising and editorial workflow tracking, with built-in alarms, alerts and email/SMS–based warnings to keep everyone involved up to date with the ongoing status and development of the job.


Third-Party Systems Integration
From the very beginning, Dalim Software systems have been designed around industry standards in terms of IT hardware, software and middleware systems intercommunication. In addition, Dalim Software systems lead the industry in systems interoperability in terms of standards such as JDF. This leveraging of standards means that systems such as DALiM TWiST, DALiM PRiNTEMPO and DALiM MiSTRAL can link to a number of newspaper and publishing systems, and even share job, editorial and advertising metadata seamlessly.
