Testimonials
“It is a ‘day and night’ difference. I did not realize that we could process so much work through our department with so few employee hours.”
-Standard Publishing
“The approval process is one of the strongest features, especially for remote locations. Prior to installing NewsXtreme, our remote locations would have to call and ask if their page made it to us. Now they can see exactly how they will print.”
-Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer
“For the record, I --LOVE-- how NewsXtreme just plain works. No fiddling, no having to restart the server once a week. It's as close to a "fire-and-forget" system as it gets.”
-Centralia Press

-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
I just had to tell you that there just are no words to express my gratitude for what your company did for us today. John was absolutely awesome in his effort to get us through the day and I have to say that in my 40 years in this industry I have rarely seen such customer service and effort put forth by a company to help a customer. I have no doubt that we have made the right decision to partner with Presteligence for our new prepress system and I thank you again for the tremendous effort that enabled us to keep the presses rolling.
