  • PrimeCenter Version 4.4

    PrimeCenter helps wide format digital printers optimize job preparation for printing by increasing operator productivity, saving time spent on layouts and nesting, optimizing nesting and media usage, and increasing the automation of tasks.

    PrimeCenter sits upstream of your RIP station. Schema of Caldera workflow 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.

    What's new in Version 4.4

    PrimeCenter Pairs with CalderaRIP V19 for an Optimized Multilayer Workflow

    PrimeCenter V4.4 brings multilayer printing to the table with advanced nesting, print & cut, and full automation.

    Paired with CalderaRIP V19, which reads data directly from PrimeCenter Print&Cut-Ready files,  it reduces the time and complexity of setting up multilayer jobs, offering a powerful advantage for users managing high volumes of multilayer projects. 


     

    Inspect your layouts before production

    From the Print file options module, manually or automatically export a PDF report of your layouts for inspection before production.
    PDF reports include the images, number of copies, media, size, and various metadata to help you save time identifying and tracking jobs.

    New URL in XML job tickets

    HTTP links are now supported as input file paths. You can load distant HTTP files via XML job tickets for easier automation.

    Preserve job order in nesting

    This new feature gives operators more flexibility in job management. By using specific metadata, jobs can be grouped and prioritized automatically to facilitate the dispatch of customers' orders.

    Fixups in input XML job ticket

    Operators can now indicate the fixups to apply directly in the input XML job ticket. This improvement grants more flexibility in automated workflows and reduces the number of recipes to manage in PrimeCenter.

    Input

    Input in PrimeCenter - Start preparing jobs for all print & cut applications. Load your files directly in PrimeCenter to start preparing them for printing and cutting. Supported file formats: PDF, EPS, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PS & AI

    Check & Fix | Preflight

    Check & Fix Preflight in PrimeCenter - Check the conformity of your files. PrimeCenter embeds the powerful Callas Preflight Engine to ensure you are dealing with compliant PDF files. Check your images, fonts, colors, resolution and transparency to avoid unwanted mistakes and achieve perfect results in production. After that, various fixups can be applied to modify your files according to your needs (create a cut contour from the page content, crop the page to remove useless white areas, etc).

    Print Bleed

    Print bleed in PrimeCenter - Add print bleed to your designs. Add print bleed to your canvas or to specific shapes to improve the cutting process. Bleed size can also be customized according to your needs.

    Double-Sided Printing

    Double-sided printing in PrimeCenter - Prepare your double-sided files. When preparing double-sided banners or stickers, PrimeCenter automatically generates Side B and places the margins and cutting marks correctly to save time and reduce manual errors. Double-sided printing has never been easier, both for rectangular and non-rectangular shapes. You can also prepare double-sided files with different designs on each side.

    Annotation

    Annotations in PrimeCenter - Anticipate finishing and delivery. Add annotations to your layouts to save time during the finishing and delivery steps. Annotations include: texts, barcode 39 and optical codes (QR codes).

    Nesting

    Nesting in PrimeCenter - Say goodbye to media waste. PrimeCenter’s nesting engine beats every manual nesting and achieves the best possible layouts— for both rectangular and more complex shapes.

    • Generate optimized layouts
    • Save time and reduce media waste
    • Achieve a more profitable and sustainable production

    Cutting

    Cutting in PrimeCenter - Streamline the cutting process. Add cutter registration marks to your layout to prepare the cutting stage.

    • Customize the shape, size and placement of your marks
    • Add edge marks or internal cut marks
    • Keep internal marks only to save even more media
    Output

    Export in PrimeCenter - Export ready-to-produce files. Send ready-to-print and ready-to-cut files directly to your RIP software and streamline your entire production.

    Automated File Edition

    PrimeCenter streamlines your workflow by automating repetitive editing tasks such as preflighting, adding bleed, creating cut contours, or adjusting dimensions. Save time and ensure precision with a solution designed to ease your file preparation process!

    Parallel Processing of Multiple Files

    PrimeCenter can process multiple files at once, eliminating time consuming, repetitive file preparation with your current design software. Whether it’s for recurring jobs, unique projects, or any type of application, create custom recipes to automatically prepare your files and simplify your workflow.

     

    Automate your production with Metadata

    Metadata refers to all the information included within the job file— order number, customer’s name, order date, number of copies, printer, or media type. Use PrimeCenter to prepare your print & cut files, leverage metadata to save time organizing and filtering your files— and automate other production steps such as finishing and delivery.

     Upload job information using XML job tickets


    To push the automation to the next level, web shops and ERP solutions can also send XML job tickets containing various metadata to PrimeCenter. Once your layouts are done, XML job tickets are exported with the layout information from PrimeCenter to be processed later by third-party applications, such as RIP and workflow solutions.
     Group orders automatically to save time on production

    Ganging refers to the process of grouping together jobs based on specific metadata (for example, media type or customer’s name). If you submit 3 multi-page PDF files from 2 separate customers, PrimeCenter can use the files’ metadata (here, the customer’s name) to queue the files in separate nests and streamline the finishing and delivery. Save time by letting PrimeCenter sort out your files!

     Automate output file-naming to ease finishing and delivery

    Ease job identification and link prepress to production with coherent file naming. When exporting both print and cut files from PrimeCenter, the layouts you created can be automatically renamed by using the metadata of your choice (customer’s name, date, ganging metadata...). *PrimeCenter Pro can run an unlimited number of semi-automatic recipes. In addition, PrimeCenter Max can run up to 10 fully automatic recipes simultaneously. Once your recipes are configured, manage them from the recipe queue interface and let PrimeCenter run them automatically while you focus on other tasks. Available for PrimeCenter Pro & Max*
