Old Workflow with Asura 6.5 (2006) Too Many Queues!

Asura 1 Unique Logins

Asura 2 Unique Logins

Asura 3 Unique Logins

Page 5: Newsday Asura Workflow James Kober/Newsday

Why so many Queues?

• Users wanted individual queues to isolate their work

• Custom queues grew out of control

Asura 8.2 Redesign in 2007

Asura 1 Asura 2 Asura 3

Page 7: Newsday Asura Workflow James Kober/Newsday

Asura now supports sub-folders

User‘s drop files in their folders – based on last name.

34 Users become one queue

Why so many less queues?

Page 8: Newsday Asura Workflow James Kober/Newsday

Benefits of Redesign

Queues became much more manageable

Faster throughput and redundancy due to load balancer

If one Asura Server goes down, the users don‘t know it

One login and network mount point: users login using email username and password

Etc..

Why Use PlugINKSAVE and Heavy GCR?

Save money on your ink bills

No Visual deviations from original file

Better stability and predictibility on press

Less setoff due to reduced ink on page

Less ink and water on press. Reduced drying time.

Heavy Black helps brings out image contrast and detail
