Deneba announces National Prepress Center
and Service Bureau initiatives

Authorized national service bureau program supports Canvas users

SEYBOLD WEST EXPOSITION, SAN FRANCISCO, CA. SEPTEMBER 11, 1996. -- Deneba Software has announced the opening later this month of a national Prepresscenter dedicated exclusively to serving the needs of Canvas users, and a national Authorized Service Bureau program to help make Canvas the new standard for high-quality Prepress production.

Deneba's Prepress center, will only accept Canvas 3.x and Canvas 5 documents. The center will offer 24 hour turnaround service for 4-color film and match prints when electronic files are sent to the Prepress center's FTP site, or 36 hour express turnaround for larger files submitted in either Syquest, Zip, Jazz, or CD-R format. The complete list of prices and optional services will be posted on the Prepress section of Deneba's world wide web site by September 15, 1996.

Deneba is also announcing the creation of a "Deneba Authorized Service Bureau" program. This program is dedicated to promoting the use of Canvas 5 among Prepress service providers worldwide. The program features:

Free or low cost software license of Canvas 5 for qualifying centers.
Toll-free support number with expert personnel available to answer Prepress specific questions. And when needed, access to the Deneba's own Prepress center personnel.
Dedicated e-mail support and automatic priority software updates.
Local referral service through Deneba's world wide web site. Participating service bureaus will be listed in Deneba's web site where Canvas users requiring local Prepress services can search by region.
Deneba Authorized centers will be actively promoted via direct-mail, regional and national print media advertising at no cost.
Employee purchase program, allowing participating service bureau employees to purchase Canvas 5 at reduced prices direct from Deneba.
Co-op advertising funds will also become available to qualifying service bureaus.

"No one should doubt Deneba's commitment to the high-end market with Canvas 5," said Manny Menéndez, president of Deneba Software. "These programs have been designed to guarantee that anything created using Canvas 5 can be taken to press reliably, economically and with the highest quality, " Menéndez said.

"We realize that there is a lot of familiarity among designers and Prepress service providers with the bugs and quirks of competing products. This familiarity leads to a natural reluctance to try something new - even if it's much better. Our approach is to bypass this reluctance immediately with the availability of a specialized national service bureau dedicated exclusively to Canvas, while working closely with all existing service bureaus to promote the widespread adoption of Canvas 5. We want to remove every obstacle that would slow the adoption of Canvas 5 as a Prepress standard,"Menéndez concluded.
