Comparison of the performance of various prepress printing workflows

Greater Integration: New Prinergy Prinergy 2.3
Prinergy 2.3 is the PDF prepress printing workflow in the newly listed leading market, providing users with more new features, improving production quality, automation and control. New features include:
· Supports Verizon Color Enhancement Screening and Spotless? Multi-color database for spotless printing;
· The new Creo PDF Preflight feature allows operators to customize pre-flight standards or use pre-defined curves such as PDF/X-1a:2001;
Accept and automatically process JDP-based job tickets from Preps® imposition software;
Use the Printlink software module to automatically preset ink tones through JDF;
· Integration of business systems for prepress and networked printing partners through IntelliLink 2.0.
Prepress and business system integration: Intl Link 2.0
The Intl Link software exchanges data between Prinergy and Synapse Director/Win process, enters MIS, and transmits the data back. Job status information, material usage, and prepress activities can be shared in the system. The data can be transmitted to the MIS business system, calculate operating costs, or produce a separate report describing prepress activities and supplies. Intl Link 2.0 provides more MIS integration options that can handle larger data streams and increase the transparency of automation and prepress printing. Other new features include:
· Support Win5.0 through IndoLink Director;
Support for the use of MIS's JDF format network printing solutions;
· Block tracking of prepress activities, such as paper, surface, or paging;
Supports the advanced automation capabilities of Creo's prepress printing systems (eg Prinergy and Synapse Director).
The new Synapse Network Interfaces 4.0 integrates with creative production The Synapse Network Interface software is an Internet portal that helps printers, print buyers and their customers streamline the job submission process, perform color control remote proofing and online previews. Approve the job. With this tool, printers shorten the cycle time, reduce proofing costs, errors and communication errors. With the network's capabilities, printers can provide better services, attract customers from different locations, and maintain relationships with existing customers. The main features of this new software are:
· Expand reading mode can proof any two pages at the same time, so that the two pages to ensure the accuracy of the copy and color;
· Regardless of whether the selected page position has a specified page, and regardless of whether the page has been successfully processed, the sequential viewing function allows the user to view the job sequence of a group of pages and can quickly and easily trace the job status.
Smart Preview (a collaborative workspace for remotely previewing high-resolution production document data) now allows multiple jobs to be previewed simultaneously for greater flexibility and multiple independent previews can be performed at the same time.
• Provide multiple accounts for print clients using different brand or publisher accounts.
· A job information sheet helps printers collect display job information. It can be structurally modified by the printing plant, or it can be placed in a JDF-based format file from an external system at any time;
· Supports color-accurate soft proofing, which enables InTouch's network interface software monitors to work with plates.
India ETS Front-End Preparation Software 2.0 Integration with Creative Production System

Instek Front-End Preparation Software 2.0 was launched late last year to enhance integration with creative designers and printers. This automatic image tool for image designers provides perfect PDF files for print production and streamlines the printing process. Its new features are:
· Better integration with QuarkXPress® software, Adobe® InDesign® on creative desktops, and Prepress software;
Supports Mac OS X operating system, QuarkXPress 6 software, and Adobe Acrobat® 6.0 software.
IntelliLink UpFront 3.0 Integration with Production Planning

The new version of Inkstone's UpFrontTM production planning software improves integration with the latest version of Preps imposition software. The improvement of the accuracy of the plan saved operating costs, waste of materials, and improved efficiency. Preps5.0 introduces the new SmartMarksTM that allow users to create and edit stencils, all while spending only a fraction of the old software.

New Profile Wizard Color Management Software Mio Edition Produces Precise Colors

As part of Creo's color-certified ideas, the new Mio version of the Profile WizardTM color management software makes the best ICC color curves in the easiest way possible. The Profile Wizard Mio version supports the Mac OS X and PC Windows® systems and also supports the new GretagMacbeth® iCColor® spectrophotometer. The Profile Wizard Mio version allows designers and prepress professionals to create color curves for displays, input and output devices, ensuring accurate color output throughout the entire printing process. Use Profile Wizard color management software to produce high-quality color curves to reduce the repetition of jobs due to color changes, increase productivity, reduce time, and reduce wastage.

All of these new software enhance JDF integration from the creative to the delivery process and support NGP's networked printing solutions. Whether it is working in an integrated process or working independently, each version of the software is flexible, open, modular, bringing great flexibility, innovative process solutions, and Creo users Current and future needs.
