Prinergy users have designed rules that improve the efficiency of their production workflow and save money by automating various processes.

Archiving and cleanup examples

• Archiving jobs
• Displaying a list of all jobs that are ready for archiving
• Using a naming convention to exclude certain jobs
• Moving a job to a new group after archiving it
• Exporting a job instead of archiving it
• Organizing and cleaning up Prinergy systems that contain thousands of jobs
• Deleting pages after they have been sent to vector output
• After all separations have been plated, archiving the job, and then waiting a customer-specific number of days before purging

Prepress examples

• Quickly responding to customers with preflight reports and laser proofs without interacting with Prinergy
• Automatically setting page approval to "approval requested" and sending an e-mail message
• Creating an imposed proof as soon as a surface is full
• Creating an imposed proof of a part as soon as all surfaces are full and all the pages in the part have been approved
• Sending an e-mail to the appropriate CSR when an imposed proof is ready
• Creating a page set before files are refined (so that Automated Page Assignment (APA) will work)
• Triggering an e-mail that lists the separations on each layout
• Having pages processed and automatically transferred to the spoke when they are approved

Output examples

• Putting sequential numbers on printing plates to reduce spoilage
• Sending signature booklets to the appropriate printer based on the page size
• Sending a product (book) containing two parts (cover and text) to plate production, after all the runlists in the product have been populated and approved
• Automatically creating 2-up impositions and sending them to a digital press for proofing
• Capturing rules for prepress and press output from a range of process templates, as well as including Harmony curves, web growth, color controls, and so on
