Case Study: Continental Web Press achieves color-accurate remote press approvals with DALIM SOFTWARE

Continental Web Press moves press checks from the plant floor to the home, with the help of DALIM ES6

Continental Web Press, a privately held, woman-owned web offset and digital printer, needed a way to keep color-critical press checks moving during COVID without bringing customers onto the plant floor. The challenge was to maintain accurate approvals for magazine and advertising work while travel restrictions and safety concerns made traditional in-person press checks impractical.

Using DALIM SOFTWARE, CWP built “CWP Virtual Press OK,” a secure remote press approval workflow that combines DALIM’s color management and collaboration tools with high-end scanning hardware. The solution enabled customers to compare approved proofs with scanned press sheets remotely, eliminated up to $3,000 in travel costs per press check, created a new revenue stream, and became a permanent competitive service for CWP.
