Frontline and ROES Team Up to Offer Photo Labs More Flexibility.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Frontline System, the leading provider of independent workflow solutions, announced today that they have been working in cooperation with SoftWorks Systems, makers of the ROES (Remote Order Entry Software), and now offer full support for one another.

The Frontline / ROES Rendering Server operates in a double-pass configuration where the ROES Client and Server software feeds orders into the Frontline System, where images are then color corrected and soft-proofed before being exported back to ROES for the final rendering of the composite. Once rendered, the order is then automatically re-sent to Frontline for workflow management to the applicable output device.

Already tested and used in the field, this software combination gives the photo lab enormous flexibly to utilize various printers, printing techniques, diverse media, and to expand their online product range. Benefits to overall cost savings is also given as Frontline is sold as a single purchase, with no re-occurring or annual fees.

"We are excited about the partnership with Frontline System. Their production system for Pro Labs and Mini Labs has proven itself as a strong digital production system around the world. The integration of ROES Pro / ROES Retail with Frontline will provide labs the great feature sets of both systems," says, Kirk Arends, Director of Business Development for SoftWorks Systems.

All of the ROES studio-centric modules - the Packager, the Presenter, and the Pager are supported with the Frontline / ROES Rendering Server. Option such as strokes, font changes, opacity settings, and drop shadows from the ROES Pager are all rendered exactly as designed by the ordering customer to assure accuracy and product precision.
