Ore. paper taps Harland Simon for print software

The Register Guard in Eugene, Ore., is adding auto-impositioning and color quality software from Harland Simon to improve its print quality.
The newspaper is installing the vendor’s Prima Esprit and Prima ColorWare apps in a project to be completed this month, said Janet Owen, production director.
Both products are based on algorithms that calculate the best way to produce a particular product based on press capabilities and preferred printing methods.
ColorWare determines color availability and job specs and transfers that information to Esprit, which automatically calculates the best imposition to the press.
