Tribune Publishing combines workflow with NewsWayX


Tribune Publishing Company decided in late summer 2019 to install the NewsWayX Workflow System across all of their six print sites, for the Chicago Tribune, Hartford Courant, Baltimore Sun, Sun Sentinel, Virginia Pilot and New York Daily News.
Each of the sites will have their own local workflow that includes servers, RIPs, edition planning and output management to their individual, local CTP devices. But instead of upgrading their legacy work-flow systems at each site, Tribune Publishing decided to centralize their production workflow at one cloud-based hub.
The hub is integrated with Tribune’s own, pre-existing cloud where each print site can log into ProImage’s central system and manage their own production workflow, independent from each other. This central system, NewsWayX, relies on HTML5 to allow production operators to access their NewsWayX workflow from anywhere.
One benefit, says ProImage, is that all the sites can now take advantage of ProImage’s ECO ink optimization software, which the Tribune already had for some of the sites.
The time frame for overall implementation was set to about a year.
