workflow as static jobs. Smart and easy.
Integration in offset workflows
Workflow automation is the key to increasing print productivity, preventing human errors and fulfilling
customer needs accurately and effectively. Creo Color Servers have premium connectivity to industryleading workflow solutions such as Kodak Prinergy Software and Agfa Apogee. JDF capacity is built in.
