Preps 7.5 is integrated and supported with Kodak Prinergy Workflow 7.5. Preps 7.5 is automatically installed with the Workshop/Workspace client software when you upgrade your Prinergy Workflow. Preps 7.5 is also supported with Prinergy Evo 6.1.3 (or later).

The procedure on this page explains how you install Preps independently of Prinergy Workflow Software. 

Important: Do not attempt to overwrite or install Preps on Prinergy Workflow Clients or the AraxiPreps share of a Prinergy Workflow server.

Requirements: Confirm that the workstation on which you are installing the Preps software meets these system requirements:
