FILE PROCESSING SOLUTIONS -- Getting into the Flow

Extensis Inc.'s Preflight Online is a Web-based file submission solution that includes a preflight function. Print providers can customize their implementation to match production requirements.

Having been the topics of heated industry debates in the past, trapping and imposition have seemed to slip into anonymity under the workflow umbrella. Print creators and providers have been largely satisfied with the processes and tools they have in place to address the processes. This may help to explain why the recent announcement of Creo's plan to acquire ScenicSoft elicited such strong reactions in some quarters.
