Unique
Dalim Software created MiSTRAL for one simple reason... “to close the Information Loop” within the graphic arts industry. It’s a unique and innovative solution for the display, tracking and administration of
entire print project environments.

Track the flow
Whether your projects follow the same production cycles or each has a unique flow, MiSTRAL allows all project participants realtime access to specific information, from the convenience of a standard web browser.

Now customer service representatives (CSRs) and production managers are able to create and fine-tune workflows, on a per project and client basis resulting in fewer errors, increased productivity and stronger client relationships.

Working within the MiSTRAL environment all project participants share a “Common Virtual Workspace” where they administer, track, preview, review, proof (locally or remotely), approve and print information
in realtime.

Jdf now
DALiM MiSTRAL is the industry’s first JDF-based automated production and communication system, allowing the streamlining, planning, staffing, scheduling and tracking of print and publishing projects over the internet. Throughout the production process, project metadata is gathered in an intelligent JDF-based environment.

This metadata is available in realtime
for multipurposing (business statistical analysis, development of “Best Of Breed” workflows, automation of re-runs, production streamlining, etc).

More than automation
MiSTRAL performs file management and processing tasks automatically. Behind the scenes MiSTRAL imports files, preflights, creates thumbnails, previews, hard or soft proofs and finally optimises files for print predictable output. But MiSTRAL’s capabilities don’t stop at automating and streamlining production. Using advanced, systems-independent database communication technology, MiSTRAL allows resource planning, statistical analysis of costs at customer, job or even page level for dissection by accounting or MIS systems.

Adaptable
No matter which sector of the graphic arts industry your organisation works in, MiSTRAL seamlessly integrates into your current workflows and legacy systems. View the status and development of packaging jobs, advertisements, editorial pages, individual page or packaging elements, publication flatplans, printer impositions, printer sections and more. MiSTRAL gives you the flexibility to move and adapt into new business areas simply and efficiently whilst ensuring your team are all working together in real time
