Automated Workflow Suite

STRESS RELIEF
If you’re in an agency, prepress, corporate or publishing production environment then you are well aware of the pressures that go with the job. Now Dalim Software gives you DALiM SWiNG, a solution to relieve some of those pressures by automating the workflow.

DALiM SWiNG has been developed to offer one of the most high performance, user friendly solutions available today, with an unmatched Return on Investment model.

DALiM SWiNG allows you to manage your workflow the way you want, whilst at the same time consistently delivering predictable, high-quality results time and time again.

From the very first day DALiM SWiNG is running at full speed, ready to take those time-consuming tasks that stretch both personnel and equipment resources to their limits.

Being pre-configured, DALiM SWiNG is easy to master and administer. Once set up, no further input is required, eliminating the steep learning curves associated with automated workflow solutions. Existing equipment gets a new lease of life as DALiM SWiNG’s openness to industry standard formats and unique p2 (Print Predictability) technology automatically ensures faster, error-free output.

Install one DALiM SWiNG solution, combine two or three, or upgrade to a
fully-featured DALiM TWiST system as your business requirements demand. Nothing comes close to DALiM SWiNG in terms of performance, ease-of-use and price/performance ratio.


In developing DALiM SWiNG, Dalim Software had one overriding priority: Ease of use. DALiM SWiNG’s “PPD-Driven Workflow” system means anyone familiar with standard desktop applications can use an automated workflow. If you know how to print a file to a printer, then you can SWiNG it!

Each DALiM SWiNG workflow has a simple to understand user interface controlled by two tools, the Editor and the Manager, which are available from both the server and Macintosh workstations.

THE EDITOR
The Editor enables an administrator to assign workflow actions, set parameters for each action and publish DALiM SWiNG input folders to the network for processing incoming files.

Each action has fully editable parameters specific to the actions task, allowing an administrator to quickly build and establish an unlimited number of workflows for job variations.

Published input folders can be assigned as network print queues and/or desktop mounted volumes for added drag and drop functionality.

THE MANAGER
The Manager is utilised to organise and administrate jobs with the ability to start/stop workflows, view the status of all files being processed, change their priority and restart jobs waiting for validation or other operator intervention.

EXTENDED CONTROL
DALiM SWiNG’s seamless integration into mixed system environments also allows control to be handed back to the desktop through PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files.

Just as you print to a desktop printer, DALiM SWiNG’s tool parameters can be controlled to override all workflow parameters... these PPD files can even be sent to clients, ensuring
“right-first-time” artwork supply.

END RESULT
In a design environment you can deliver digital artwork to the exact specifications required by publishers or printers straight after the client has signed-off the PDF softproof. As a prepress house or print originator you can set up automated workflows to accept
client files and undertake
unattended production.

Think of one area of your production that would benefit from a print predictable, automated workflow and let DALiM SWiNG find many more.
