Extend your Prinergy system with features whose benefits range from improved output quality to increased system reliability. For purchasing information, contact your sales representative.
Archiver
Archives files to store them offline, purges files to free disk space, and retrieves files from a drive or cloud location to restore a job.
Business Link
Provides the ability to bi-directionally connect Prinergy with qualified MIS (management information system) using JDF. The production reports that are included in the software also allow users to run several preconfigured reports from a web-based interface, independent of an MIS.
The exchange of product and process-related JDF job data with qualified MIS systems allows complete automated job creation and set up in Prinergy. Imposition information from an MIS can be automatically imported or used to create impositions for Prinergy. The material and status type information that is automatically gathered by the Prinergy Business Link software during the production process can be sent to an MIS, allowing automated tracking of materials and seamless distribution of status information from Prinergy and InSite in the MIS.
Business Link also automatically gathers information regarding the production of jobs from Prinergy and InSite. The data can then be sent to the MIS in tab-delimited format for job costing or used to create stand-alone reports describing prepress activity and materials used in jobs.
Clients
Additional Prinergy client licenses for current running instances of Workshop are available in five-packs.
ColorFlow
The ColorFlow Software—Workflow Edition allows users to create color setups that define color relationship between devices using ICC profiles and calibration curves. ColorFlow Workflow Edition can also be used solely for tonal calibration, without creating color setups for full color relationship management. Plate or print curves created in ColorFlow Workflow Edition can be chosen directly in output process templates, without having to create and specify a ColorSetup.
The ColorFlow Software—Pro Workflow Edition gives you all of the functionality of the Workflow Edition, plus the ability to create ICC device profiles, and create and edit device link profiles. Licensing is for a single seat; the ColorFlow software can be installed on multiple client computers, but only one user can modify the colorstore database at one time.
ColorMatching on Output
Enables using ICC profiles for managing color in proof and final output
Dashboard
Increase the number of your Dashboard clients. (The first Dashboard client is free and does not require a license.)
Dashboard is a distributed browser-based interface for providing status and progress in production. It provides prepress management and customer service representatives better visibility into the production process with an overall view of job status across single or multiple Prinergy workflow systems throughout an operation.
EPM and Job Replication
EPM (Emergency Plate Making) enables you to process jobs and produce plates on a secondary server if a primary server fails, but does not allow you to see existing jobs.
Hot Standby (EPM+) allows a customer to continue using Prinergy with minimal downtime by running the database server on the secondary server without losing job data.
Job Replication duplicates your job information on a second tertiary server and enables you to access job files in the event that your tertiary server fails.
Output
Output is not included in the Entry Level, Mid-Range, and High-End base licenses. An Output Pack is required to enable the generation of output from a Prinergy system. Only one Output Pack may be licensed per system. Choose one of three output packs: 4-up, 8-up, or VLF, according to your largest CTP or digital device. Each of the three output packs includes a DCL (Device Connectivity License), two JTP renderers, signature booklet output and vector output.
Output Renderer
One additional engine that enables additional output render engines (RIPs) on the Prinergy system.
Packaging Layout Automation
Enables automation of packaging layout creation. It enables Prinergy to automatically take job information from your management information system (MIS) and create a layout designed for your printing environment. Prinergy Layout Automation validates the information and allows the layout to be manually edited with an easy-to-use editing tool; you do not need to start the Pandora step-and-repeat software. Prinergy Rules-Based Automation is a prerequisite.
PDF Batch Trapping
Provides the ability to automatically trap PDF pages during a Prinergy refine process (includes advanced features, such as enhanced trap corner geometry settings and keepaway traps for packaging related work).
PDF Compare
This plug-in for Acrobat enables you to analyze two PDF files. The differences are summarized in a new PDF file that can be saved or sent in an e-mail message to clients. Using Acrobat layers, the common elements are segmented from the change elements for easy inspection.
PDF File Editor
This plug-in enables you to edit refined PDF files using Illustrator.
PDF Merge
This plug-in for Acrobat assists in correction cycles. It enables you to compare two PDF files, preserve objects from one file, and apply those objects to the other file. For example, you can apply changed objects from a corrected file to the trapped original while maintaining the traps.
PDF Platebuilder
This plug-in for Acrobat enables you to add white, bump, and varnish plates to refined PDF files, and gives you an automatic mechanism to create varnish and white separations for appropriate portions of graphics.
PDF Trap Editor
This plug-in for Acrobat enables you to trap objects and pages, set trap geometry, and create keepaway traps.
Preflight+
Provides advanced profile-based preflighting to identify and apply fixups to problems in the input files. Includes a profile editor so that users can create their own profiles. Generates a preflight report that itemizes the results, with links to the objects in the PDF Digital Master.
PrintLink Ink Key Setting
Dramatically reduces make-ready time by generating digital ink profiles and routing them to the press interface. It automatically communicates precise ink coverage information and print form geometry from prepress to the pressroom for digital ink-key presets. This approach reduces time, paper, and ink wasted in adjusting ink keys on the press. PrintLink also eliminates the time spent scanning imaged plates and maintaining a plate scanner.
Rules-Based Automation (RBA)
Allows you to create automatic rules for any existing manual event, business process, or daily step in your printing production workflow. Rules-Based Automation includes sample rule sets, but more importantly, it allows you to create custom rules unique to your business. As a result, you can organize all stages of print production, enabling your business to run more efficiently.
Refine
Additional refine engines
Regional Versioning (Layered PDF Versioning)
Allows multiple page assignments per page set position. Layered PDF Versioning uses different layers from within a layered PDF to generate different versions within a Prinergy job.
Secondary Server Distribution License
Allows you to run distributed processes on a secondary server in your Prinergy system
Advanced Screening
Additional screens available—for example, HyperFlex (screens that allow for smaller dots and/or graphic elements to be held on plate during UV exposure), Maxtone CX (hybrid AM and FM screening useful for flexo packaging and other applications where scum dots are a problem), Maxtone NX (hybrid AM screening for Flexcel NX that offers a choice of AM screening for the midtones, while extreme highlights and shadows are screened with FM patterns), Seamless (screens that allow seamless alignment of images across the boundaries of the artwork for imaging on a cylinder), and Staccato (stochastic or FM—frequency modulated—screens)
Web Growth Compensation
Provides linear and non-linear distortion of individual plate separations to compensate for paper stretch in web press operations greater than 37 inches wide
