December 2022 Caldera has announced the release of a new update for its job preparation and nesting software PrimeCenter.
Starting December 6, 2022, all PrimeCenter users will be able to update their software to benefit from the new improvements.
PrimeCenter 2.3 introduces smarter recipes and better performance to help prepress operators be more efficient in file preparation.
A More Efficient Production Starts At The Prepress Stage
PrimeCenter sits upstream of your RIP station.
Orders (or “jobs”) are first submitted to PrimeCenter, either manually, or automatically from a web shop or ERP software.
At this stage, prepress operators can thoroughly prepare their files with a wide range of advanced options— media parameters, preflighting, cut contours, print bleed, margins, nesting, cutter registration marks, annotations, double-sided printing, and more.
Once the files are ready, send ready-to-print & ready-to-cut files to your RIP software to streamline your entire production.
Smarter Recipes For Job Preparation
PrimeCenter 2.3 introduces decision support mechanisms to assist operators in their daily operations.
Introducing The Media Coverage Indicator
To help operators decide which layout to send in production, PrimeCenter now displays the media coverage of each nested layout. For more flexibility, media coverage levels can be customized depending on the media.
This new tool makes it possible to quickly identify the most optimized layout— and cut down media waste across the production.
Automatic Selection Of The Best Format Available
PrimeCenter 2.3 introduces more flexibility to help prepress operators be more efficient in file preparation.
Several formats can now be defined for a given media.
In addition, when the user generates his layout, PrimeCenter automatically chooses the format with the least amount of waste to nest the jobs. This improvement reduces set-up complexity and production costs.
PrimeCenter Pro & Max users can also set up the format directly in the input XML job ticket for more automation.
Increased Software Performance For More Productivity
PrimeCenter’s performance has been improved to save up to 50% time when loading multipage PDF files— making it the perfect tool to streamline file preparation and increase productivity.
