Another dimension in automated workflows and preflighting: Agfa Apogee Suite 6
Preflighting is used to automate print workflows, even more so to preflight PDF. When things are less manual, you need even more print quality control measures for Adobe files and other document types for preflight and print.
FlightCheck is the patented preflight solution from Markzware that can check several document types for quality assurance. FlightCheck can find potential printing errors before output, to allow correction before printing. This saves time, labor, materials and money for professionals in marketing, printing and publishing industries. Since Markzware develops this preflight solution, we noticed this customer experience with the preflight process within the Apogee (Agfa) set-up:
‘We have seen a clear demand for intelligent optimization of PDF files,’ said Bart De Pelsmaeker, head of software group at Agfa Graphics. ‘Our response is Apogee Preflight which is deeply integrated within our Apogee solutions. This new processing component gathers all job specific production characteristics and dynamically tunes the PDF accordingly, including the application of any required color management. Combined with the Enfocus preflight technology, this truly adds another dimension to preflighting.’
