Press Clippings

MRG has recently upgraded its clipping software, partnering with newsWORKS, to offer the most advanced, accurate and economical technological software available.

With newsCLIP - the electronic clipping and montage tool - the desired articles are taken from the scanned source pages and assembled on an A4 target page with minimum use of space. This cut & paste function uses automatic layout analysis and assembly functions, but it is also possible to intervene manually at any time. Information that is relevant to an article - such as the headline, the author or the subject matter - can be organised using the appropriate input masks for archiving at a later date.
