PDF WORKFLOW--Still a Juggling Act

So how do the systems differ?

Prinergy is a family of page-based workflow tools that use PDF as the internal file format and have an Oracle database at their core. Currently the product line is being developed by CreoScitex, but the system also is marketed by Heidelberg USA.

Prinergy Direct is the entry-level product that provides file processing capabilities to Mac and PC users. It can be upgraded to the greater functionality of Connect, which supports volume production and receives files from the Direct system. Powerpack is a configuration that has been optimized for offset and flexographic packaging printers and trade shops. InSite enables users to create a secure Internet portal through which they can interact with remote print buyers. (www.creoscitex.com or www.heidelbergusa.com)
