Automate Workflow – Increase Efficiency
Do you have performance issues in your prepress department? Have
you ever wasted time checking a job for hairlines, missing fonts or
images in the wrong resolution or colour space? If so, there is a
solution for this.
Why not automate your pre press production without investing in a complete new RIP and Workflow system?
With Prinect Printready Heidelberg offers a very scalable solution - even without a Heidelberg RIP. The answer is Printready P, which automates the creation, checking and optimisation of PDF pages using the existing RIP for output.
Due to its modular and open architecture it can be extented and options added at any time. This means your system can grow with your production and capacity requirements whenever you need it to. It also means that you avoid over investing for today's needs and secures your present assets for the long-run.
Central Functions
Prinect Printready P offers centralised operation of jobs at the Printready Cockpit, which ensures better control of the production environment. The Template Editor allows the creation of the automatic sequences for the production steps, like normalising and trapping. Pages can also still be handed manually for one-off jobs.
Colour Management
Like all Printready Systems the Pantone colour Library is built-in, ensuring the accurate conversion of spot colours into process colours.
Automatic processing
Printready automates typical prepress processes that take a long time when done manually and the speed and accuracy is also dependant on the operator's expertise. With less operator involvement, the automatic process delivers high production security with fewer errors and also cuts the time for prepress production in half.
The following functions are included in the automated Printready P system:
Trapper: analyses incoming PDF files and automatically generates the required traps as real vector traps.
