WORKFLOW SOFTWARE -- Betting on a System

Dalim Software has introduced version 5.0 of Twist and Swing, its now JDF-enabled, automated workflow solutions available on Mac OSX or Red Hat Linux operating systems. Twist v5 is said to be a "ground-up rebuild" of the system, which is based on modular tools that can be configured into a wide variety of automatic processing paths. The upgrade adds built-in system failover, advanced load balancing capability, a new GUI and native PDF 1.4 and PDF 1.5 file support. New tools provide preflight viewing, RIP control and color separation mapping. Supported file output "standards" include PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 and Pass4Press(v4).
