Workflows That Work Wonders

Lee Webster, prepress product manager in the Merchandise Media Group at R.R. Donnelley, reports the NM Direct prepress operation no longer has to contend with manual tracking of images and text files, or with staying on top of the number of proofs a job required.

"I get the information I need to analyze the production process of any particular job—I can see how many proofs were made on any page sent from any workstation at any time," he explains. "I can take a complete digital tour of the workflow process—that has to be one of the coolest parts of the system."
