DRUPA showcase for Prism WIN/Kodak Prinergy link
Monday 26. May 2008 - Prism will demonstrate their JDF link between their flagship WIN MIS and Prinergy - Kodaks core pre-media workflow system.
With both companies showcasing the latest versions of their software at DRUPA, Prism and Kodak have forged closer JDF links since DRUPA 2004, when the partnership was first shown.
“Today, the exchange of information in real time is possible, and computer integrated manufacturing capabilities exist in pre-press, press and post-press. JDF integration and two-way communication is a reality,” states Filip Buyse, President and CEO of Prism.
Live demonstrations will take place at Prisms stand in Hall 7a – Stand 12c, with highlights including job transfer from WIN to Kodaks Prinergy Connect Workflow System with Business Link, and JMF links back to WIN providing proof approval data from Kodaks InSite Prepress Portal System. These real time updates feed Prisms costing module and create new events in Scheduling.
Prism released the first Windows-based print management information system (MIS), Prism WIN, in the early nineties and once again is at the forefront of technology in its release of its latest version with true three-tier architecture and the Microsoft .NET framework.
