PDF--Extreme Printing

Prinergy: New PDF-based Workflow Management Tool

The first joint venture technology brought to the table by Vancouver-based Creo Products and German giant Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, Prinergy is the first workflow management system that utilizes not only Adobe PDF technology, but also Adobe PostScript Extreme. It's a prepress architecture based on Adobe PostScript 3 that uses Adobe PDF and Adobe Portable Job Ticket Format (PJTF) to: automate prepress processes; provide a distributed digital workflow; enable late-stage editing; provide multi-RIP support; and ensure consistent output.
