Heidelberg's SignaStation Supports MacOS X
04/08/2002
Impositioning software is part of the Prinect solution
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) announced at IPEX that its SignaStation impositioning software is now available in version 7.0 for Mac OS X. As part of Heidelberg's Prinect concept, SignaStation now supports the Macintosh platform as well as PC, a fact that significantly extends the range of solutions available to the graphic arts industry. The benefits of this highly convenient software solution for impositioning work and the ability to process complete print sheets ready for output to filmsetters and platesetters will be particularly warmly welcomed by printshops and service providers.
SignaStation imposes PostScript and PDF data and Delta lists and is part of the all-inclusive Prinect solution. Under Prinect, Heidelberg brings together workflow components that communicate via open interfaces such as PPF and (in future) JDF. Prinect allows "networked print production". "Management", "prepress", "press" and "postpress" processes which were isolated in the past can now exchange job information, thereby ensuring process reliability, flexibility and transparency in the printshop.
SignaStation in particular helps reduce expensive setup times and saves on print and finishing costs thanks to its end-to-end support of the CIP3 print production format. SignaStation software is the only application that supplies the CIP3 PPF data for AutoRegister setting in the print process and the presettings for cutters and folders. The planned JDF extension will bring further production benefits.
