Rolling Meadows, IL, September 6, 2011 - alfaQuest Technologies is pleased to announce the release of the new PressRoom Manager application.

PressRoom Manager offers the ability to improve output quality by reducing the effect of web growth (fanout) and correcting for any cylinder misalignments, therefore overcoming wear and tear because of the age of the press. PressRoom Manager also allows plates to be annotated with Press, Tower and Cylinder location data. By using the Press Planning feature, there is tighter integration between the press plan and the pre-press workflow. This leads to improved quality control, faster make ready, a more stable printing environment, and significant cost savings.

PressRoom Manager can be installed as a standalone product for integration with existing workflow systems or incorporated into the alfaQuest PrintExpress Consolidated Production Management system.
