Efficient JDF Automation for Every Prepress Operation

The Prinect Printready System represents the next generation of automated, modular, fully transparent prepress workflows with open interfaces. End-to-end use of the Job Definition Format (JDF), which Heidelberg played a vital role in developing, allows seamless communication with other process steps in our print shop providing a more reliable production process.

The Prinect prepress module. Modular workflow solutions that communicate based on the JDF and other standard data formats represent the next logical step on the road to a fully networked print shop. Prinect is one such workflow solution, networking and optimizing all print specific work processes - from prepress and press to postpress. At the same time, Prinect integrates all levels of job processing, delivering maximum process reliability, flexibility and transparency. As part of Prinect, the Prinect Printready System constitutes a freely configurable digital prepress workflow that enables us to automate all of our prepress production steps - from data input via PDF preflight and impositioning to proofs, approval cycles and plate imaging.
