DALIM SOFTWARE Testimonials

“It’s really a testament of what DALIM TWIST does and what we do with it. We’re a high performance shop. We get the work when the customer has run out of time and the work is very complex. We are still doing best of breed work with TWIST. DALIM SOFTWARE has robust, high performance customizable software. No one else does that.”

“Since 2009 a large percentage of photogravure undertaken by this division (school textbooks, children’s literature and some mainstream books) has used DALIM SOFTWARE soft-proofing. Since 2009, the product has evolved a great deal in terms of speed and design – notably with the electronic flat plan. From a publishing stand point, most of our editors are over the moon to be using this new tool. It allows them to view images and Ben-day dots in context, and to rapidly view the state of their work using the flat plan (missing pages and images). From a production stand point, it lowers photogravure costs, and we gain a significant amount of time (less need for couriers, real time retouching, etc.). Tools like the densitometer, colour channels, and ink coverage allow us to check our work, and/or to give the photogravure operator clearer instructions about the result we are looking for. The ‘compare’ function also allows us to see the photogravure operator’s actions after correction. This is an important function because in my role as head of photogravure for Albin Michel’s Education division, I assess the work carried out and take the know-how gained from it forward into subsequent projects.”
