Streamlined Production with KODAK Unified Workflow Increases Efficiencies Through Print Processes

PrinergyWhirlpool

The KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System increases overall efficiency - decreasing ink consumption, waste, and makeready time. Print service providers are continually seeking solutions to streamline production, and the PRINERGY System is a fully integrated workflow that provides maximum automation.

And with the KODAK Ink Optimizing Service, Kodak provides customers with an ICC DeviceLink profile that gets plugged into KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System. Based on the ICC DeviceLink profile, separated image files go through a gray component removal (GCR) process that reduces ink usage by replacing CMY inks with less expensive black ink, while limiting the total area coverage to a predefined level. Using KODAK STACCATO Screening makes additional ink savings possible. In addition to lowering ink consumption, Kodak's Ink Optimizing Service reduces waste and makeready time, enhances reproduction fidelity, and improves stability on press.

Portal solutions

Kodak's portal products greatly reduce the traditional use of paper, ink, and other resources. KODAK INSITE Software fundamentally changes the way our customers interact with their clients, from web to print and electronic job submission to remote content proofing and approval. Features like these lead to dramatic reductions in waste and excess stock, as well as more efficient process management.

Production planning solutions

Many companies are still sketching detailed layouts by hand. KODAK UPFRONT Production Planning Software allows customers to digitally plan the job and eventually become completely electronic by using PDF files that attach to electronic job tickets and not print any job plans. This automation results in less prepress plate spoilage and less paper and ink wasted on incorrect jobs.
