The Repository in Canton, Ohio, purchased NewsXtreme, Xtreme Inking and other applications from Presteligence in conjunction with the paper’s transition to computer-to-plate.

The Repository was already a user of the company’s Guss spooling app, and as a print site for The New York Times, has used Blackmagic for color-calibrated proofing for several years.

 

NewsXtreme will enable the paper to import its product plan from its ALS layout system and will also allow The Repository to permit customers to access page proofs.

Xtreme Inking, meantime, will let the paper calculate ink values for its Goss International Corp. press control system.

The apps will be installed this month, prior to the placement of two Kodak Trendsetter News thermal CTP units.

The Repository installation comes on the heels of an earlier sale of Xtreme Inking to the Altoona (Pa.) Mirror.

Look for more on The Repository’s CTP conversion in the June issue of Newspapers & Technology.
