Al-Yamamah
Press Est. to upgrade its Eskonet system
SSC News Release, July 20, 2003
RIYADH - Al-Yamamah
Press Est., a major client of Saudi Systems Corporation (SSC), is upgrading
its Esko-Graphics? Eskonet workflow to its latest
version.
Eskonet workflow, which
consists both of software and hardware, is a major part of Computer-to-Plate
(CtP) technology.
The latest version of
Eskonet has been integrated with imposition in addition to the system?s
current functions such as pagepairing, RIP, production management control,
to name a few of its features.
Imposition is the solution when it comes to
organizing commercial printing jobs such as magazines, posters, books and
others. Imposition will prepare the pages for plate output.
Al-Yamamah Press Est. has
opted for the upgrade in order to prepare the system for its massive
commercial production requirements. Foremost of this is the pre-press works
for Al-Yamamah weekly magazine and the monthly book of "Al-Riyadh".
SSC's Electronic
Prepress Systems under SSC's Systems Integration division is
commissioned by Al-Yamamah Press Est. to
implement the system upgrade that will take place sometime in the middle of
September 2003.
Since 2001, Al-Yamamah Press Est. has been successfully using
a CtP system installed and completed by SSC together with its
vendor-partner Purup-Eskofot, a company later on merged with Barco Graphics
to form Esko-Graphics.
