Job Workflow — Ending the Digital Divide

Imposed PDFs are sent from Prinergy to the shop’s CTP system, but a JDF file is used to drive the digital presses. The workflow system’s horsepower is used to generate PDF files that are optimized for printing on the Nexpress and then kept on the file server.

“We have the Prinergy horsepower processing page -evel data and then we’re sending the JDF data to the Nexpress,” Stuart explains. “We’re able to skip a lot of the processing steps on the Nexstation and control all of the job settings directly out of Prinergy via JDF.”
