Get Prinected.
Prinect is the print shop workflow and your gateway to
integrated print production. It combines production with management
processes within a workflow. Get prinected - for optimized
processes and increased cost-effectiveness in your print shop.
Active control of the print process based on secure data.
Cost-effective print production starts at the job
acceptance and costing stage. It continues from
the prepress through press stages to postpress and invoicing.
In order to take decisions based on well-founded data and actively
control processes, you need precise information about the current
status of a job. You can turn over print jobs in a very short time,
while keeping quality and costs effectively under control, even in
the case of unplanned modifications.
End-to-end transparency for fast decisions.
Prinect is based on the open industry standard JDF. This
makes the individual operations transparent and allows end-to-end
control of the print shop. All parties involved in the process work
from a single set of data, a centralized JDF for all
processes - a digital job folder containing all the
information relating to a job.
Maximum automation and direct control in your prepress
department.
Prinect automates processes that were previously
performed manually, speeding them up and minimizing errors. Users
are freed up from routine tasks, yet still retain complete control
at all times. If necessary, they can intervene for purposes of
regulation.
The RIP for maximum productivity.
Prinect features a double RIP configuration. The new
generation of software allows both direct ripping of PDF documents
and the tried-and-tested PostScript format. PDF documents are
correctly processed including any transparency contained within
them, thereby eliminating proof and plate output errors. Identical
output results can be produced anywhere in the workflow. This
standardized presentation makes print processes highly reliable and
productive. An additional internal data control system is no longer
required and the whole process is faster and more cost-effective.
Identical results for proof and printing plate.
Prinect uses the same RIP for proof and plate and
therefore provides the ideal basis for joint color management and
identical output results. In other words, the proof accurately
anticipates the result that will later be achieved when printing on
the press.
Perfect color management and proofing.
With Prinect, all standard proofers can be directly
controlled, as both TIFF and PDF files can be exported. In order to
ensure predictable, repeatable color reproduction for proof and
print, Prinect uses ICC color profiles. These can be processed
directly with no need for further conversion. Embedded profiles can
also be directly evaluated in PDF/X files. In order to regulate the
precision of color matching, even more individually, Prinect offers
special tools for interactive profile generation. For instance, by
re-profiling difficult color areas step by step, ICC profiles
can be generated with a mean deviation between proof and print that
the human eye cannot distinguish.
Free choice of screening methods.
Prinect covers all screening processes, from the classic
amplitude-modulated (AM) screening through frequency-modulated (FM)
to hybrid screening. This versatility means you are sure to find
the best screen for all customer configurations - plates,
platesetters, papers and press. It is possible to combine different
screening processes within a PDF document so that individual text,
image and graphic objects can each be processed using the best
method. Only the screening methods integrated in Prinect are
available for selection in the PDF. This helps prevent incorrect
settings. Object-dependent screening improves print quality,
producing very high-quality results.

Prinect integrates existing and newly developed products throughout the entire production workflow. Prinect Overview
