Frequently Asked Questions: ORIS Works
Question: The CTP hardware vendors I'm looking at already have their own workflow. Why should I look at yours?
One reason is cost. ORIS Works has all the CTP functionality of a hardware company's system, at a fraction of the cost.
Question: Workflow systems are too complicated for my company. How is yours any different?
First, ORIS Works is a simple, hotfolder-based system. You drop files in; finished files come out. Second, ORIS is completely modular. You only buy what you need - not the features designed for huge, multinational publishers or printers.
Question: I have more than one legacy system in my company. How can I have a single digital workflow that connects with everything?
You don't need to abandon or even upgrade your existing systems. ORIS handles all major digital file formats - from Scitex, DCS and TIFF/IT to PostScript, PDF, PDF/X and many more.
Question: My customers are always sending me poorly-prepared digital files. What can ORIS do there?
Because we handle the major file formats, ORIS Works is perfect for fixing incoming, customer-supplied files. Works hotfolders can fix printability issues - quickly and automatically - so you can keep your presses running.
Question: Works only has raster trapping. What if I need vector-based trapping?
ORIS can easily work with third-party trapping solutions. In fact, ORIS can automatically interact with any third-party system that can work with hotfolders.
Question: I'm a publisher with multiple printers - each of whom has a different prepress system. How can I send them files they can print without creating bottlenecks on my side?
ORIS Works is the perfect system for "RIP-and-ship" workflow. Print-ready files can be sent to multiple remote locations, in each printer's preferred format.
Question: What if I need to add something new to my workflow - something for which I didn't plan?
ORIS is extremely flexible. A new hotfolder, with a new setting, is often all that is required.
Question: What about proofing? I want to use my workflow to create proofs from multiple file types, including those from my older prepress systems.
ORIS Color Tuner, CGS' award winning proofing system, can easily be added to an automated ORIS Works workflow, allowing you to proof from any file, matching any target, at any location.
Question: Does Works support job tickets?
ORIS Works has an integrated job ticket database: ORIS Job Manager. With it, you can plan, track and manage multiple jobs, both locally and via the new web interface.
