Farrukh Systems Page Pairer software has been installed at the Los Angeles Hoy Newspaper site. Following successful experiences with Page Pairer at their New York and Chicago offices, it was an obvious choice for their new LA operation. Hoy Newspapers are the leading Spanish language daily and are part of the Tribune Group (owners of The Chicago Tribune amongst many other media ventures). Hoy's New York and Chicago editions have a combined daily circulation of 113,000; and will debut in Los Angeles in March 2004.

Based on the success of the Page Pairer software, Global Prepress Systems, the Farrukh Systems distributor in the USA is now an approved vendor for the Tribune Group.

Page Pairer is the specialised version of Imposition Publisher, optimised for newspaper publishing. Version 3.1 adds a number of improvements including the ability to send different pairs to different output destinations.

Other significant features are: The ability to handle multi-page files, rather than just single pages. Custom Print Marks, where any EPS files can be used, scaled and positioned as a print mark. Pages can be sent in PDF format as well as PostScript, meaning PostScript and PDF pages can be mixed and matched in a single publication.

This installation of Page Pairer strengthens Farrukh Systems installation base in America. This follows earlier Page Pairer successes at El Nuevo Dia, the national daily newspaper of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands Daily News, the Buffalo News, the Portland Press Herald and the Boston Herald.

Page Pairer's unique ability to impose pages on the fly, ideally matches the dynamics of the newspaper production process. With proven speed and reliability, Page Pairer offers a graphical progress monitor for unrivalled management reporting options.
