Computer-To-Plate
A balance of technology, workflow and people, SmartStream is engineered to give American Web's clients efficiency, flexibility and a better bottom line. Based on the latest and most advanced pre-press equipment available today, American Web has streamlined the challenges of print production into one solution - SmartStream.
CTP conversion can seem overwhelming, especially during the pre-production phase. Lack of standards and processes can create unnecessary complexity. SmartStream eliminates confusion through established production standards, schedules and file requirements.
Using Creo's Prinergy® as an engine, SmartStream helps you to achieve the highest level of consistency, quality, simplicity and control. Flexibility and efficiency can now co-exist.
This is made possible by an entirely new paradigm: Page-oriented RIP (Raster Image Processors). Under this new paradigm, you can incrementally submit materials, needing only 90% of the total materials to begin processing a job. The remaining 10% of materials may be submitted for dynamic file alterations during the proofing phase.
As your job passes through the RIP process, the resulting file structure is refined and manipulated. It remains intact during the rest of the procedure even through proofing and plating. This unique system alleviates common problems such as font re-flow and font replacement.
