Description:
:Apogee DigitalPrintLink establishes a unified hybrid prepress workflow
solution by integrating 3rd party digital presses with :Apogee Prepress
workflow solutions. Using :Apogee DigitalPrintLink, jobs in :Apogee
Prepress can either be processed for traditional offset litho print
production or for automated on-demand print jobs on digital presses.
Output efficiency, quality and consistency is maintained due to the use of
the same :Apogee Prepress workflow which uses the same processing
components and resources, such as Normalizer, Renderer, ICC-profiles,
fonts, and more, for all output devices. The integration of the digital
presses is based on the JDF/JMF (Job Definition Format/Job Messaging
Format) standard, enabling a standardized integration and production
automation. Rendered and imposed jobs are transferred from :Apogee
Prepress and will incl. information for the digital press s.a. customer data,
single/double sided, paper type/size, screening and finishing info.
Integration is provided with HP Indigo presses via Digital Front End or
direct with HP Indigo presses 3500, 5000 and 5500, and with Canon
imagePRESS C7000VP range of digital presses (avail. end 2008).
