The Prinergy software handles many vector and raster output formats, making it possible to connect to many proofing devices.
Since printer manufacturers frequently update their printer languages, Prinergy is not adding direct connections to other proofing devices. Instead, Prinergy connects to most third-party (non-Kodak) proofing devices using the proofing device's front-end RIP. Some proofing devices use built-in RIPs and some use external RIPs.
For the connection to succeed, the proofing device must accept at least one file format that Prinergy can output.
If your proofing device does not accept any of the Prinergy output formats, consider purchasing an external third-party front-end RIP, such as the EFI Best RIP, the CGS ORIS Color Tuner RIP, or the GMG ColorProof RIP. For information, see the manufacturers' Web sites. Third-party RIPs typically support a wide range of proofing devices and accept the PostScript language, which ensures network connectivity.
Note: Kodak makes no claims regarding connectivity to and/or compatibility with specific third-party proofing devices. The establishment and maintenance of successful connections to third-party proofing devices is the responsibility of the end user, including but not limited to calibration, color management, position to media and layout, and overall output quality. Kodak can provide assistance to establish basic connectivity on a best effort basis for one third-party proofer after installation, but cannot assist with quality, performance, or calibration issues with third-party devices or troubleshooting changes resulting from configuration changes related to issues including, but not limited to, operating system, device driver, or firmware updates.
