Kodak is has updated its Prinergy workflow automation software solution with Prinergy Workflow 7.
The company says the updated solution has features that limit human error, improve time to press, and enable faster and more informed decisions. Jeff Clarke, chief executive officer at Kodakk, says, “Kodak’s strength is in research and development. We listened to our customers when they told us that high quality printing is not enough in today’s printing industry, they needed to further increase their advantage over their competitors. To address those needs, we leveraged our software engineering expertise to create Prinergy Workflow 7.
Kodak says Prinergy workflow increases the level of automation in every core function of the printing process: job creation, collaboration, file processing, trapping, proofing, imposition, and colour management. It also has the flexibility to integrate with current, future, and third-party technology.
Clarke says, “Workflow software is a driver of efficiency and productivity and Prinergy Workflow 7 takes those to new heights and enables our customers to better compete in a challenging marketplace.”
Kodak says that its improvements to Prinergy Workflow 7 include:
• Pre-flight profile integration, which allows the integration of callas pre-flight profiles for improved quality control and reduced manual touch points
• Layered PDF versioning enhancements offering improved error detection and better control over multiple layers of files making versioned printing more flexible, reliable, and repeatable, according to Kodak
• Digital printing enhancements, which offer centralised control over digital and conventional presses and equipment to deliver efficient, automated production of all job sizes to a fleet of Kodak and third-party digital presses and CTP devices. Kodak says it leverages these digital printing enhancements to enable an advanced level of automation and management of production presses. It adds that these new capabilities make it possible for Prinergy Workflow 7 to control job ticketing parameters both manually and through rules based automation of multiple devices while monitoring and reporting the status of each alongside CTP devices and proofers.
