Prinergy software software#
The company name is Objective Advantage ( and the software is called Symbio. I do tech support for a small company that makes workflow automation software. It is also interesting that this thread has split into two different threads. Here is a link to what Andrew Tribute had to say about automation and Prinect. You are right, there are all manners of worklfow automation. In addition, they also have installed our Suprasetter 105 CtP's. Yes, the Department of State has installed Hiflex as their MIS and installed Heidelberg Prinect Prepress Manager (formally know as Prinect Printready) as their JDF/JMF workflow to run in multiple countries. With Creo's support of JDF and JMF, I think they can safely claim a certain level of automation that few other vendors have even considered trying to implement. > Large enterprise print service providers - like the US Department of State - who depend on running jobs in multiple plants in multiple counties - depend on Hiflex. If they can make jets take off, fly and land without any human touching the controls, trust me, one can use algorithms to detect, repair and enhance pages before printing them.Ĭompanies like Kodak, HP and Xerox are all investing heavily in such technologies
I always remind people - "computers enable humans to make bigger mistakes faster" - many people are now digging deep into scripting multiple vendors solutions together using Gradual, but this is quite a different approach than using a single vendor - anyway - it is all in the eyes of the beholder, and frankly, how much money you are will to spend on your system and education. Large enterprise print service providers - like the US Department of State - who depend on running jobs in multiple plants in multiple counties - depend on Hiflex. One major cock up on a large heavy special stock (you know it's the one that will get cocked up) may/will wipe out many a firm.īefore we beat up on some unnamed - and unable to defend his comments - sales rep (from Kodak or otherwise) - I think we might take a moment to consider a few recent announcements that - as far as I can tell - have only been announced by Kodak. nd that op better have decent pay or they leave for decent pay elsewhere (if they're good). How does an auto flow see that and fix it?Īnswer everybody with APE and no other everybody using Adobe software only (even then, Adobe versioning produces different results)!ĪFAIK, operator intervention is and will be the only way to ride jobs properly unless of course you are talking closed loop/in house prep even then I wonder of it's really possible. Secondly, I'm aware that files will go to one system and be fine (eg: HP indigo with an HqRip inside and screw up when sent to a different system (eg: HP Indigo with a Creo Rip inside). Probably, but I doubt it can make it past 50%! I would like to add that an automated scenario will only work if the file is perfect and I see ones that are perhaps 2-3% of the time. I assume Rampage will follow with something similar - If they could only forget about object based trapping and focus on more important things. I like the flexibility of third party solutions.
Prinergy software full#
I don't know if I wanted to be locked in to full "Kodak" solution package. With online ordering you could "close-loop" the design process to eliminate problems like no bleed or extra colours. The biggest advantage to the prinergy workflow is when it is combined with online order processing and online template based design. Prinergy can send long print runs to plate and short runs to your digital press. Combine prinergy with full JDF and it really becomes interesting. This doen't help if the files you get are completely no good, but if you prep the files properly, it is more "automated" than rampage. Prinergy will take the job from preflight right through to plate and file archiving without intervention, and if a certain spec is off, it can switch to an alternate path - which is more than Rampage can do. Rampage offers only a linear flow and if something isn't right, it craps out - requiring operator intervention. Prinergy offers "if-then-else" capabilities to its workflow. I think the word "automated" depends on how you define it. I saw a demo of the prinergy last week and was blown away.
We run Rampage 10.5, I can't speak for the Agfa system. Re: Prinergy the ONLY automated workflow?
