EskoArtwork invests and advises in powerful MIS-to-Prepress integrations

EskoArtwork is the world leader of packaging pre-production solutions and also has an important presence in the high-end commercial printing market. Key product lines include a range of workflow software modules covering the entire supply chain and integrating graphics, structure and project management; flexo Computer-to-Plate systems; cutting & creasing tables for short-run production and sample making in packaging and sign & display markets. EskoArtwork's belief in JDF from the very beginning and its active involvement in the CIP4 organization have led to a very broad implementation of JDF in the Esko Software Suite. BackStage, the workflow server component of this suite of applications, takes JDF from several MIS systems to automate prepress tasks like job creation, imposition and step&repeat, and sends JMF messages back for status and cost reporting. BackStage uses JDF to communicate with WebCenter (the web portal of the suite) as well as with other 3rd party solutions to manage the process of page list assignment and page/pack approval. With BackStage being able to communicate via JMF with the Esko Flexo CTP 'CDI' and also sending JDF to finishing equipment, the JDF lines of communication of the Esko Software Suite will shortly reach all workflow stakeholders that need to interface with prepress.
