BluMunKee® SAVES TIME & MONEY FOR AUGUSTA CHRONICLE

AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Augusta Chronicle has seen savings in both overhead and time since they went live with BluMunkee® Software in August 2003.

"We had five full time employees correcting 2200 photos per month at 800 hours," says Charles Campbell, Pre-press Manager at the Augusta Chronicle (Ga.) "Now we have three full time employees correcting more than 2400 photos per month at 480 hours. Manual corrected photos are less than two percent. More than ninety-eight percent are corrected by BluMunKee®." Mr. Campbell says these numbers are educated estimates.

BluMunKee's® software suite automates the process of correcting photos for print and Web publishing. It integrates tightly into work flow, routes files, manages naming conventions, delivers appropriate file formats depending on use and simultaneously delivers multiple versions of the same image for different media. Integrated modules access databases directly, support archiving, drive proofing, manage FTP services, and automate the correction of images embedded in PDF files.
