Workflows That Work Wonders

From the expanding role of the server to the increasing demand for preflighting, imposition, trapping, image archiving and electronic job ticketing, the importance of a secure, sophisticated workflow is invaluable.

For purposes of this article, Printing Impressions is featuring two prepress workflow approaches, that of the Cabela's catalog, printed at a variety of locations, and Neiman Marcus Direct (NM Direct) with prepress direction by R.R. Donnelley & Sons. Cabela's uses MediaBank from Archetype, now a division of Bitstream. NM Direct relies on DataFlow from Cascade Systems to track all images and organize its digital infrastructure.
