Supported Prepress Portal, Distribution, and PressProof servers

Prepress Portal, Distribution, and PressProof software can be run on the following platforms:

Windows 2012 R2: (Support has been ceased as of October 1, 2023) 

• Dell PowerEdge T320, T330, or T340 Performance Plus server

• Dell PowerEdge T620, R720, T630, R730, T640, R740 High Performance Premium server or Premium Server

• Kodak Virtual Operating Environment (KVOE), running on the following hosts:
  • VMWare ESXi 6.5 or higher
  • Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 R2, 2016, or 2019

Windows 2019:

• Dell PowerEdge T330, or T340 Performance Plus server

• Kodak Virtual Operating Environment (KVOE), running on the following hosts:
  • VMWare ESXi 6.5 or higher
  • Microsoft Hyper-V 2016, or 2019

Note: A minimum of 16 GB of RAM and 146/160 GB (platform dependent) system disk are highly recommended for Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 2019. You may check the total current usage of all the running processes of your system and then add 4 GB on top of it. This total may be the amount of RAM to have to sufficiently run the system. Your configuration and other factors may still affect the overall performance, and the system may require more disk space or RAM.

Important: For VOE (Virtual Operating Environment), Kodak does not provide the license for Microsoft operating system. The licenses can be purchased through a Microsoft reseller of your choice.

Rendering Engine Sizing

Note: Maximum number of rendering engines is defined by the hardware platform and workflow licensing, not by the version of the workflow software. 

Important: These are guidelines only. While they are accurate for most installations, individual workflow and file type variations and/or bandwidth limitations may limit the maximum number of renderers to fewer than the listed maximums.

Supported proxy servers

Prepress Portal supports proxy servers that use the CERN proxy protocol. For more information about proxy servers, see the InSite Client Configuration.

Supported client computers

If you use the Kodak Matchprint Virtual technology with your Prepress Portal and PressProof system, you and your clients must use qualified and calibrated Mac computers for viewing the color of pages and surfaces accurately. For the system requirements of a Matchprint Virtual configuration, see the Matchprint Virtual Release Notes.

Note: Mac computers with the M1 chipset do not support the Pressproof client application at this time.
