The new Heidelberg Jetbase Version 3.1
With the recently-released Jetbase Version 3.1, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) has once again extended its range of online services and workflows. Printshops and prepress businesses now have even more options for making their services available online. Jetbase Version 3.1 also enables them to react more quickly and to communicate and produce more flexibly without error.
In contrast to products which merely let the customer download low-resolution image layout files locally or order data online, Jetbase users can offer their customers and partners the option of downloading anything they like - including high-resolution images and documents. It doesn't matter whether this involves online or archived data. If archived data is required (e.g. "the document from the last edition" or even complete archived jobs), Jetbase's automatic features prepare this data without any need for human input and transfer it to the customer. This means that the service can be available 24/7.
Depending on the nature of the relationship with the customer, online access rights can be granted to both customer libraries and live production jobs - e.g. for PDF proofing. This means that customers', agencies' and partners' desktops can all be integrated easily into the internal production workflow.
For the first time, Jetbase Version 3.1 allows customers to look after their own libraries. They can either upload files online into these libraries and assign key words themselves, or transfer files from completed production jobs (located on the Jetbase provider's server) into appropriate libraries.
A further highlight of the new Jetbase version is the job interface to the upcoming Prinergy Version 2.0. The interface provides a means of "setting up" Prinergy when a production job is created in Jetbase, i.e. a Prinergy job with a ready-assigned, automatic process plan can be generated at the same time. This means that Prinergy no longer needs to be operated from the moment the production job is opened in the preparation stage right up until the Prinergy process plan output is ready (e.g. PDF pages proofed and ready for impositioning).
Jetbase Version 3.1 demonstrates Heidelberg's continued commitment to linking Internet services and production workflows to produce an efficient, end-to-end process for both customers and graphical media providers.
In addition to enhanced Internet service options and workflow automation, the new Jetbase version offers yet another highlight - the implementation of end-to-end commercial production management based on the JDF standard, covering everything from the initial idea to delivery. Heidelberg introduced this concept for the first time at drupa 2000.
