Hallo Willem,
das Format ist von Scitex entwickelt worden, und dient offenbar als Zwischenformat in einem automatisierten Printworkflow:
The Linework file contains
any information that was
originally vector prior to rasterization
and was rasterized at a higher
resolution than the CT in order
to maintain the necessary detail
required for fonts, and other vector
graphics. Since this raster file
could be very large due to the
resolutions used (typically in the
1800 dpi to 3500 dpi range), Scitex
uses RLE compression to reduce
the file size. In an effort to
address a 248-color area limitation
of the original LW format,
Scitex developed NLW. This new
format extends the available color
areas to about 16,000, which allow
for smooth LW blends and other
value-added benefits.
