Currie bolts on prepress to its CTP portfolio

Express Workflowis sourced from Hong Kong-based prepress developer Compose, and is being hailed by Currie as an entry-level solution that offers efficient and cost effective CTP workflow management.

Express Workflow boasts a feature set that includes an intuitive interface, over 20 modules to handle all prepress needs, compatibility with industry-standard formats like PDF and TIF, as well as integrated support for Read Once Output Many (ROOM) proofing and Star Proof screened contract quality proofing.

On the server side of things, the Express RIP features over 180 drivers for a range of different applications, with interactive and automated imposition options. Web-enabled job management allows access to Express Workflow through local and remote browsers, while an open-system architecture leaves room for third-party applications.

The Currie Group's sales director Bernie Robinson emphasizes the software as an important addition to the company's suite of CTP tools. “It means we can offer our customers a comprehensive range of equipment, hardware and software, from prepress, to the pressroom, right through to the bindery,” he says.
