Kodak Prinergy Workflow Integration

Bring the best of both worlds together — digital and off set — with your favorite prepress workflow.

A hybrid workflow system can help you bridge the gap between digital and conventional printing to satisfy customer needs.

Overview

Kodak Prinergy® workflow integration with Fiery® digital print servers provides flexibility and efficiency with centralized control. It lets you easily and quickly direct jobs to the appropriate offset or digital systems, using the same content files and dynamic layouts for the target device. Manage jobs for multiple devices and leverage existing conventional prepress systems to automate production for all job sizes and run lengths — all from a single operator station and without ever leaving the Prinergy user interface — reducing training and touch points. Most important, the integration helps you meet the increasing demand for short-run jobs, faster turnaround times, and value added services that only digital presses in integrated workflows can achieve.

Now with the Prinergy Workflow Version 8.1, the integration provides bi-directional connectivity to Fiery servers providing one of the most advanced hybrid workflows from prepress to conventional presses or digital presses. Directly convert offset jobs or create a job from scratch for digital presses and set job attributes such as media selection, layout settings, inline finishing right from the Prinergy user interface for Fiery Driven presses. See more feature highllights from our datasheet.

The newest Kodak Prinergy integration with Fiery digital print servers requires Prinergy 8.1 and Prinergy Digital Press Management or Digital Expansion Pack (or it’s legacy equivalent), as well as Digital Bi-directional module. Your Fiery servers also requires Fiery JDF features to be enabled. The list of Fiery JDF-enabled digital presses are found here.

Legacy Kodak Prinergy workflow integration with Fiery digital print servers are also available for Prinergy Version 5.6, 6, 7 and above users. For more information please contact Kodak.
