job management & automation

rule based intelligent routing

Production is automatically routed through the workflow based on customizable rules that can be added, edited, and deleted as new commercial jobs are added.

page pairing & imposition

Once the files are preflighted and ripped, the pages are composed for plates. Based on the predefined schedule, the system knows which pages should be paired together. It will also place registration marks, bender marks, text and barcodes dependent on the template being used. NewsXtreme supports page pairing and 4, 8, and 16-up Imposition.

job status

NewsXtreme manages and tracks your products by date, publication, and section so you can see an overall or detailed status of the entire production load.

product planning

NewsXtreme’s product planner and drag and drop plate configuration is extremely flexible and simplifies the process of bringing a new product to press.

proofing

Proofs are generated from the same high-resolution images that will be sent to your film image setter or CTP Device, ensuring the proofs appear the same on-screen as they will after final output. Authorized users, even clients, can approve all or specific separations to move forward in the workflow.

scalability

Proven in more than 150 installations, NewsXtreme can be scaled to fit the needs of any size operation with the Easy, Lite, and Enterprise versions of the solution.

cloud based option

NewsXtreme Cloud allows publishers to use NewsXtreme solutions in a hosted environment for a monthly service fee versus buying the software. NewsXtreme Cloud eliminates the need for on-site servers and maintenance of that hardware, includes automatic updates to the latest version of NewsXtreme, and 100% redundancy.

optional add-ons

ink optimization

Ink-Miser lets you achieve significant ink savings. By replacing the grey component of cyan, magenta, and yellow with equivalent amounts of black, you will see a savings of up to 30% in your consumable ink costs, all while improving the quality of your printed products.

ink presetting

XTREME Inking automatically calculates ink density values and digitally sends that information to the press control systems. XTREME Inking saves time and money that is normally wasted at the start of each press run, waiting for a quality page to print. This software achieves the quickest possible start time by utilizing the same data used to make the plates and sharing it with the Press Control System.

commercial job portal

NewsXtreme Portal allows for automation and creates efficiencies within production and prepress departments while drastically streamlining the process of uploading pages for commercial customers. Directly from the portal website, newspapers can manage their commercial jobs by setting up accounts, configuring print sites, and approving jobs while customers can easily upload and review their job orders

rips

The foundation of the NewsXtreme RIP solution is built on Harlequin RIP technology. NX RIP provides optimum productivity by RIPing and outputting concurrently. RIPed pages can be imaged directly, or sent to a queue as compressed files. As new jobs are being RIPed, queued jobs are automatically scheduled and sent to your output device.

color calibrated proofing

Recognized in the field as Blackmagic News Extra, Presteligence is the sole reseller of this superior quality calibrated proofing system which allows the press room to create color accurate proofs for advertisers.
