New Platform for Color imagePRESS Series
Designed to Help Boost Productivity, Reduce Downtime and
Delay
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today
announced the PRISMAsync Color Print Server V4.1 platform for the
imagePRESS C800/C700 and imagePRESS C7011VPS Series digital
presses, as well as the new imagePRESS C10000VP digital color
production press, including customer defined functionality designed
to maximize the productivity of imagePRESS engines. A critical
piece of this update is the In-RIP G7® calibration method, which is
a fast and easy way to perform G7 calibration, an emerging new
standard that is becoming critically important to commercial
printers. Canon is among the first to provide customers with this
important functionality.
Exciting new functionality in the PRISMAsync Color Print Server
V4.1 platform includes new and enhanced media management features,
including media search, filtering, and creation, allowing for an
enhanced and easier customer experience than with prior versions.
New color management and print quality-related features such as an
embedded profiler feature allow the operator to create individual
ICC color profiles for a media family, using the PRISMAsync and any
spectrophotometer.
“The PRISMAsync Color Print Server V4.1 was developed using
real-world feedback from our customers who depend on our products
every day,” said Junichi Yoshitake, senior vice president and
general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. “This new version is designed to help enhance productivity and
allow creativity in ways we know our customers want, because they
asked for it.”
The platform combines support for a current industry standard,
Personalized Print Markup Language (PPML), including “thick” PPML
versions 1.5, 2.1 and 2.2. It also looks to the future, supporting
PDF VT1 as an emerging technology. Security feature enhancements to
the platform include an Integrity Checker and other extended
security features such as user password encryption, as well as
authorization for viewing key operator settings in the Settings
Editor.
Prior versions of the PRISMAsync platform are already in wide
use in the market in commercial print establishments as well as
corporate in-plants and franchised print service providers.
Al Carrero, founder and owner of Hudson Printing, said, “With
the implementation of PRISMAsync and PRISMA Remote management
software, we have been capable of driving more work on behalf of
our customers in half of the time, with fewer people. Through the
combination of these PRISMA technologies, what once required a two
shift operation can be done in a single shift permitting us to be
more responsive and providing better service to our customers.”
Dave Allen, general manager/owner Executive Press in Richardson,
TX, said, “With the PRISMAprepare solution and PRISMAsync
controllers, our pre-press activities are streamlined. This
eliminates steps in our workflow, helping to reduce turnaround
times and increase productivity. Everything is about time in this
industry. Paper costs the same to everybody, toner costs the same
to everybody. The only place you can make a difference in this
industry is time. The combination of PRISMAsync and PRISMAprepare
has given us this time.”
