The company’s Global Media Strategy, which converges workflow, management and distribution across all forms of media, will be unveiled, and a range of digital workflow solutions to all sectors of the print industry will be launched.
Quickcut claims its Global Media Exchange (GME) will close the loop for companies handling multiple media for a variety of communication and marketing applications.
GME effectively streamlines every aspect of the print and publishing supply chain, creating value from file creation all the way to digital or hard copy production. It encompasses a full suite of online production tools and services that give multiple organisations the ability to collaborate in real time on the creation, management and distribution of any media format – print, broadcast and narrowcast – around the world and from any workstation.
As a result, local organisations can act globally, and global organisations can act locally. As more of the creative development process is managed online and often automatically, projects can turnaround faster, more cost effectively and at high quality.
The latest version of Quickcut’s print and advertising production workflow software will also make its international debut at Ipex. Visitors will see the most advanced method of preparing any file for print enabling users to create, validate, colour manage, proof and deliver files tailored to a publisher’s or printer’s individual specifications within a single solution.
Sophisticated, yet easy to use, Quickcut solutions guide users through the many potential pitfalls that can plague prepress production with little or no margin for error, resulting in considerably reduced workload, increased efficiency and excellent results.
Effectively Quickcut provides production reliability, tracking, management, quality results and peace of mind. Each PDF file is colour managed and validated against each destination printer, press or publication’s exact specifications, providing the confidence that it will be accepted and reproduce perfectly.
Additional features such as: automatically providing booked space instructions to agency or designer to ensure accuracy; online management and tracking of a job in real time, including automatic email confirmation of receipt; remote proofing; and template-based online ad creation, provide an end-to-end total workflow efficiency that users cannot achieve with hybrid solutions.
At Ipex, Quickcut builds on the global success that it has already achieved in the publishing industry where leading brand owners, agencies and designers use Quickcut’s unique approach of using destination specifications to guide and manage the production of advertising materials.
Other Quickcut management and workflow solutions shown at Ipex will also include: online multimedia project collaboration; digital online management for print, audio and visual assets; online template-based ad creation; destination-specific file preparation guidance, validation, delivery and management of ads and commercial print jobs; the Forward Advice System, integrating job booking data and mechanical specifications to ensure accurate file preparation; ICC colour profiling and management; and remote hard copy proofing, which verifies and validates jobs against target mechanical and colour specifications.
At Ipex, Quickcut will be located in Hall 20 at Stand D43.
