alfa CTP Workflow
provides total control over prepress production. This open, modular solution
has all the tools necessary to simplify and automate the broadest range of
prepress tasks.
Web-based Workflow management
(PDF Brochure: 168Kb)
alfa's Print prodution Manager provides an intuitive interface for job
monitoring, status reporting, output management and raster soft-proofing.
Automated Pre-flighting and File Correction
Workflows automatically check files for correct color separation conversons (RGB
to CMYK), process black text to 100% black, spot colors to CMYK and correctly set
job parameters such as dot shape, calibration curves and screen ruling. Missing
fonts can be emulated from a 1600 font database.
PDF files are automatically preflighted against built-in Enfocus Pitstop rules as
they enter the system. No longer is it necessary to indivudually preflight each file.
ROOM Workflow Digital Integrity
(PDF Brochure: 444Kb)
Individual pages are automatically converted to DigiPage "digital film"
files. These digital film files allow for soft- and hard-copy "press-accurate"
post-RIP proofing, as well as post-RIP page-pairing and imposition prior
to the final output to CTP imagers.
Dynamic Job Routing™
Crucial to reliable automation, this innovative feature ensures that RIPped pages
are named and numbered correctly, and intelligently routed exactly as required
for specific workflow processes - every time.
Automated Post-RIP Page-pairing and Imposition
Proofed and approved digital film pages are automatically paired or imposed into
signatures. Completed flats are automatically queued for output.
Web-based Soft-proofing
An integrated Publication Proofing System (PPS) automatically posts fully RIPped
page proofs by publication name and section for easy web access. Raster-PDF proofs
of ads or pages can be quickly opened within common browsers for internal and/or
external viewing.
Advanced Full-resolution Plate Soft-proofing
Quickly and easily soft-proof high resolution screened plate files from anywhere
on your network for total quality control prior to plating.
Print File Format (CIP3) Ink Control Interface
(PDF Brochure: 220Kb)
Automatically export Print Production Format (PPF) information to the
press for layout and ink key settings for faster make-ready times and
to dramatically reduce material waste.
Genesis RIP

alfa CTP produces a full range of high quality PostScript Raster Image
Procesors (RIPs), for the Apple OS X and the Windows XP PRO operating
systems.
