New workflow product from Omnitek

Omnitek has launched a pre-press workflow to compete with Agfa Apogee and Dalim Twist.

The Cricklewood-based firm, which is run by former Crosfield researcher Surrinder Chita, has based the product, called SmartMove, on the former Springtek SpringPS product for turning CT/LW files into PostScript.

As well as the ability to convert proprietary Creo files, including imposed flats to PDF or one-bit TIFF for output by any machine, it can work as a full workflow.

Omnitek has built an icon-based hot folder system for creating automated workflows and has added a Jaws RIP.

It can take PDF or PostScript files and output vectorised and rasterised PDF as well as one-bit ripped and screened files. It uses CT/LW as an internal file format.

SmartMove costs 13,500.
