Flowman's regional partner AGS (Advance Graphic Systems Limited) will take care of the installation, training and support in Leo Paper Group’s main print site, Heshan Astros Printing Company in Heshan, China.

This new and unique Virtual Prepress service includes e-business features like extranet for receiving orders with integrated files, validation and remote approval of soft proofs. All modern prepress features like ink optimizing; RGB workflow and ink key presetting calculations are standard features. Integrated into the overall solution are extensive Production Tracking and Management reporting tools with many useful additional features like monthly waste reports.

The Leo Paper Group is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with headquarters in Hong Kong, specializing in the production of paper products. Heshan Astros Printing Ltd with its 20,000 employees is one of the largest print sites in the world.

Flowman Oy is a Finnish high-tech company dedicated to streamlining business processes in the print media industry. The company combines best Finnish automation and software practices from different industry sectors with its own pre-press production background to develop new ways to manage business processes.
