DER NEUE TAG takes wNewsNet into operation

The media company DER NEUE TAG in Weiden is the world's first customer who, in its new printing center, took the wNewsNet workflow with the PRIME integration for KBA PressNet into operation.

• Based on the plan data exchange between HUP (editorial),  GBIS (planning and statistics), KBA (press / PressNet) has wobe-team realized a seamless an automatic prepress workflow with its wNewsNet system.
  The plate production now automatically follows the specific requirements of the print runs on the first triple-wide KBA Commander CT in Europe. Manual decisions regarding the plate output are reduced to a minimum.
• It turned out that the modern interface specifications of the PRIME NETWORK Consortium are ideally suitable for such requirements. Also the wobe-team soft-proofing system, which is integrated with the KBA control consoles, utilizes the PRIME interface to automatically open the soft proof pages.
• In addition to controlling the plate production THE NEW DAY also uses the PDF color optimization, PDF imposition and RIP-balancing features of wNewsNet so that now a seemless and automated PDF and plate workflow is available.
• As CTP systems are two DotLine VMAX 400 CTP lines with a total capacity of 730 plates per hour installed. The plate bending is carried out by Nela systems.
