The Prinect Prepress Manager makes your prepress tasks much simpler and quicker. The prepress processes can be controlled and automated at any Prinect Cockpit. The modular system offers the right application for every task - from automatic checking and optimization of supplied print data, through impositioning of sheets, to calibration, ripping using an outstanding screening method, platesetting, and subsequent automatic archiving. Ripping is performed using the integrated Prinect Renderer based on the latest version of Adobe PDF Print Engine. The renderer supplies the color information for the jobs on the pressroom, which saves valuable makeready time when setting up the press.
Standard jobs can be processed automatically with the Prinect Prepress Manager, which increases your throughput. Jobs with special requirements for PDF processing or impositioning can be processed interactively at any time from the Prinect Cockpit. When the PDF is called up, the Prinect PDF Toolbox opens for processing the PDF under full visual control. The versatile range of tools offers e.g. fast creation of coating jobs, special color adaptations, barcode and VDP generation, modification of individual objects or individual traps or object-related screening. The Prinect Signa Station can also be opened interactively from the Cockpit if complex imposition and sheet assembly skills are required. It offers comprehensive features, easy to understand wizards and tools, and visual control of the workflow, optionally also when creating gang runs or versioned jobs. It also supplies the folding and cutting data for postpress, which saves time there.
Making the Prinect Prepress Manager part of the fully integrated Prinect workflow means that there is no loss of information between the different sections of the print shop. It can also access the data stored by the color measurement systems and use it for plate calibration and proof color management, which ensures that prepress and the pressroom are always in sync. The Prinect Portal integrates clients into Web based online softproofing and approval workflows, thus drastically reducing lead and processing times.
The integrated archive function in the Prinect Prepress Manager helps to keep your production server effective by automatically archiving finished jobs, but keeping them within close reach. It can be complemented by the Prinect Archiver Pro. This archives all kinds of content data or even assets together with the associated print job and establishes a secure and efficient system of data management.
