Workflow
A typical workflow
Your workflow can follow this typical workflow.
1. Create a job.
When you create a job in Prinergy, you set up a virtual directory
structure (electronic filing system). You organize jobs in groups.
2. Add input files.
You add input files to a job to tell Prinergy which files to work with
and where they are located.
3. Refine input files.
You refine input files by selecting an input file and then applying a
refine process template to it. The refine process creates a stable,
PDF digital master of each page in the input file. The refine process
can perform any or all of the following functions:
●
Preflight files
●
Optimize images
●
Convert CT/LW or TIFF/IT
●
Resolve OPI comments
●
Embed fonts
●
Recombine separated files
●
Check for low-resolution images and missing fonts
●
Fine-tune copydot content
●
Manage colors to achieve consistency between the color
proofing device and the press
●
Trap files
●
Generate thumbnails
●
Impose pages
These options are controlled by the settings in the refine process
template.
4. Manage page sets and impositions.
PDF pages are assigned to page positions on one or more page sets.
You can create page sets before making imposition decisions or
have page sets automatically created when you add imposition
plans to a job.
