“Offering your staff – and your clients – faster and easier production tools”

Faster print production.  Better client communication

DALiM PRiNTEMPO is a unique JDF-based print production system designed for print and premedia companies, that uses a standard web browser as its interface. Driving and monitoring the up-to-the-minute status of print and premedia production both internally and externally, DALiM PRiNTEMPO streamlines inter-departmental communications, at the same time giving you the ability to offer a number of web-based services to your clients. By giving you the tools to anticipate production issues earlier than ever, as well as creating an innovative client communication process over an internet connection, DALiM PRiNTEMPO increases efficiency, lowers costs and maximises profits.

production driven

Having your internal production departments working more efficiently is a key factor in increasing productivity, lowering costs and reducing errors. DALiM PRINTEMPO allows all of your production staff access to job data in real-time thorough a single, common interface where functionality is tailored depending on user rights. Mac operators, planners, premedia departments and even the pressroom all access DALiM PRiNTEMPO as the “single common denominator” to ensure fast, accurate production.

customer driven

Even-shortening production deadlines and downward pricing pressure have brought new challenges to premedia and printing companies. With an intuitive and easy-to-use browser interface, DALiM PRiNTEMPO offers a way for you to give your clients their own ‘internet print portal’ straight to your production teams.

In order to maintain profit margins in today’s marketplace, many companies are looking to differentiate themselves from their competition. Offering online services such as those available from DALiM PRiNTEMPO (online file submission, file preflighting, preflight report generation, production tracking, softproofing, etc.) helps businesses maintain pricing by offering added-value client services.

jdf driven

Built from the ground up to be the most flexible, ‘future-proof’ system available, DALiM PRiNTEMPO uses JDF (Job Definition Format) data exchange for job-related communications to third-party systems. For example, Management Information Systems (MIS) can transmit job information directly into the system, templates from many imposition creation applications can be imported; and almost all CTP/CTF/DI devices can be driven directly by DALiM PRiNTEMPO.

In addition, DALiM PRiNTEMPO’s unique JDF-DRIVEN FILE PREFLIGHT REPORT uses JDF-based preflight profiles to precisely describe file preflight parameters ensuring high-quality, error-free output.

share job information - instantly

With DALiM PRiNTEMPO, real-time production status information is always available from anywhere, by all project participants, via a web browser. Both clients and internal staff – from Customer Sale Representatives (CSRs) to Premedia Managers and Press Operators – can track jobs directly from their desktop. Sales departments have up-to-the minute information on the status of a client’s job. Press operators can see exactly when an imposition is ready. DALiM PRiNTEMPO means not only saving time but also maximising productivity.

clients in the loop

DALiM PRiNTEMPO’s CFE Module (Customer Facing Environment) allows external access to job status information – via a secure login and password – from anywhere in the world. Clients become actively integrated in the production process and last-minute job changes (new ads, pagination changes) become quick and easy. All participants involved in the production process view the very latest version of the job, increasing efficiency, reducing mistakes and confusion - and saving time.

file delivery and preflight

DALIM PRINTEMPO provides an intuitive 'drag-and-drop’ interface for easy file submission by clients, through nothing more than their web browser. The system is intelligent enough to create a direct link between the submitted file and the job. Received files are preflighted using Dalim Software’s “Soft-Interpretation” file preflighting technology and a File Preflight Report – that can even be generated in different languages – is created. The preflight report is actually a low-resolution PDF file that can easily be emailed or downloaded. Any file elements failing the preflight are clearly highlighted on the file itself, making error detection – and subsequent correction – as fast, as easy – and as early in the production chain as possible.

approval

Adding DALiM DiALOGUE, Dalim Software’s award-winning softproofing application, to DALiM PRiNTEMPO allows online high-resolution file access, as well as job validation – including contract colour sign-off. This dramatically reduces the time spent providing proofing files and receiving approval for both content and colour. After online validation, jobs are immediately ready to print. The only SWOP® certified, JDF-enabled softproofing system available, DALiM DiALOGUE resides on your local server, eliminating the ‘click-charges’ or monthly subscription costs associated with colour-matched softproofing systems.
