Flat-based workflow

Your workflow can start with an imposed flat (PS, PDF, EPS) created in Preps, Pandora, InDesign, or other software.
Note: The flat-based workflow fails if the AutoFlatRefining and AutoFlatOutput process templates have been deleted from the Prinergy system.

1. Create a job.
2. Add a hot folder and associate it with a refine process template.
3. In the refine process template, ensure Treat Input Files as Flat is selected in the Impose section.
4. Drop the file into the hot folder.
   Prinergy refines the files into PDF flats and then displays flats as signatures in Separations view.
5. Manage colors separations (optional).
6. Proof the imposition by running an imposition output process template.
7. Make plates by running a final output process template.
