DALiM DiALOGUE for Mac OS X
Meet the challenges of shortened production deadlines and downward pricing pressures with this revolutionary, online soft proofing server application. By providing real-time, color-accurate, collaborative access, as well as annotation to original high-resolution data, DiALOGUE brings a whole new level of immediacy, quality and teamwork to the creative and approval process.
Learn more
Totally Open Solution
DiALOGUE requires no specialized client software or high bandwidth connections, only a standard Web browser, so there's no time or expense incurred in keeping client software up to date. Limited only by the server's processing power, DiALOGUE can allow an unlimited number of concurrent users.
Workflow-Ready
In a matter of minutes you can publish "watched folders" anywhere within your workflow, add users and set permissions. In a matter of seconds, authorized participants can view high-resolution files of unlimited size. This flexibility and simplicity makes it easy to develop powerful solutions to client needs and brand them with your own corporate image.
Always High Resolution
Unique data-streaming technology ensures that users view and collaborate on a file in its full, high-resolution state, without it ever leaving you! Unlike comparative solutions, no data is compressed, ensuring 100% original file integrity - a prerequisite in all approval processes.
Color Critical
DiALOGUE takes advantage of Apple's ColorSync color management technology to incorporate ICC profile calibration, making it possible for all users to see color accurate soft proofs in seconds and print local hard copy proofs in minutes, regardless of geographical distance.

DALiM TWiST
The fastest, most flexible front end in the graphic arts industry, DALiM TWiST is a fully automated premedia job processing system, designed to streamline the creation of a wide variety of file types as well as automate internal production workflow processes. As the industry's first enterprise-level solution, DALiM TWiST provides intelligent production automation tools that let you concentrate on producing jobs faster, more accurately and with less human intervention.

Flexible Workflow Management
While many automated workflow solutions rely on set procedures through a production cycle for specific output devices, DALiM TWiST's server-based system employs a totally open model supporting more native formats and production tools than any other solution. Duplicate any workflow in a matter of minutes with more than 150 standard "building blocks" - e.g. Internet job submission, preflighting, trapping, database connectivity, etc. - that can be linked together to create an extremely powerful, versatile "premedia engine."
Quality Output Assured
Print Predictability (p2) is perhaps the single most important aspect of an all-digital production workflow, since any inconsistencies in how data is presented to the output device can result in wasted materials, time and labor. p2 technology optimizes files, effectively "cleaning up" the data and removing errors, assuring high-quality, print predictable output.
File Format Independence
Utilize a wide variety of file formats, even in the same workflow. With support for more native and proprietary formats than any other solution (CT/LW, PDF, TiFFIT/P1, etc.), TWiST lets you incorporate the latest technologies while maintaining complete integration with legacy formats.
Industry-Leading Performance
DALiM TWiST supports system scaling by CPU, server cluster or both to satisfy even the most demanding application, dynamically load balances CPU-intensive tasks (such as file repurposing or complex trapping) to handle periods of increased workload easily, and permits various fault tolerant or high availability configurations for mission-critical applications, ensuring 24/7 availability and minimum system downtime.
Local or Remote Control
TWiST's Workflow Manager allows extensive monitoring of the production process either locally or via a standard web browser. The administrator can intervene at any time by initiating or pausing workflows, viewing job status or logs, and validating jobs on hold.
"Just-in-Time" Production
TWiST comes complete with DALiM's LiTHO Page file viewer/editor, allowing last-minute trapping corrections, text changes and other fixes at any time prior to actual job output. No need to re-submit a job to DALiM TWiST, dramatically improving efficiency and reducing correction cycles.
Unique Database-Driven Workflows
Upon receiving a file, DALiM TWiST has the ability to poll any JDBC compliant database and trigger the appropriate workflow based on the information it finds. Furthermore, TWiST can be directed to place information back into the database for seamless integration with, for instance, MIS systems.
