Introduction

What is Business Link?

It is a software application certified for MIS-Prepress communication using CIP4 JDF standards. The application works between an MIS system and Prinergy to create jobs in Workshop. Business Link manages the two-way flow of job data. It is capable of receiving and sending job data for production details, job status, and materials consumption and the time it takes to complete these tasks.
