Professional Document Preparation Solution Océ PRISMAprepare, Canon’s (Booth 1500) professional document preparation solution, helps accelerate the make-ready process from composition through production, helping reduce costly and often non-chargeable print preparation time. Included in the solution is the “What You See Is What You Get “ (WYSIWYG) job preview feature, which helps confi rm that what you see on the screen is exactly what your end print product will look like. PRISMAprepare is virtually device-independent, allowing users to prepare documents for production on Canon, Océ, and select printers accepting PDF, PCL, and PS fi les. Automation templates and hot folder capabilities make preparing repetitive jobs fast and easy, helping printers avoid errors and maintain jobto job consistency. Inkjet Print System Solimar’s (Booth 841) new solution called “Inkjet Mailing and Effi ciency Solution” provides mailers migrating to inkjet with the basic tools required for fast, easy, and effi cient transition to full color inkjet. Comprised of modular and integrated solutions from Solimar, users are able to: • Concatenate smaller production runs into a larger run for more effi cient processing. This reduces costs by reducing starts and stops, changing paper rolls, and reducing downtime, while helping to eliminate waste. • Optimize PDF fi les so DFEs can process at rated speeds. Wasted space and duplication of resources are eliminated by optimizing PDF fi les into smaller PDFs. • Digitally commingle mail so multiple fi les can run in true presorted order. Address information is sent to presorting software and replaced with corrected address and postal barcodes. The fi le is resorted in postal order, saving on postage and labor costs. • Easy changes or additions of required barcodes for fi nishing equipment such as perfers, slitters, and inserters. • Ability to add variable digital inserts for more personalized communications. Rather than using inserters to pull the same insert, inkjet printers can create personalized “onserts” inline while printing for true relevant communications.
