In July 2023, Kodak launched Version 10.0 of its Prinergy workflow software. It is an automation platform for printers, which eliminates manual touchpoints, improves productivity and efficiencies while reducing cost and waste.
Kodak said the return on investment for Prinergy is significant for customers who are looking for growth, flexibility and long-term value. Prinergy’s robust automation provides flexibility and scalability, delivering short- and long-term value to customers.
Prinergy's new version will benefit the Indian converters in the SME sector in terms of ease of operations, versatility and user friendliness. The workflow solutions target commercial print service providers of all sizes with smart automation and support for offset and digital printing processes.
Kodak believes the USP of Prinergy’s new version is its new Marks JTP (Job Ticket Processor) Pooling, which reduces processing bottlenecks and increases speed. Another advantage is enhanced efficiency and accuracy with PREPS SmartMarks placement.
Prinergy 10.0 also offers improved system stability, which is compatible with the Apple macOS 13 operating system. Now available in HTML5, Prinergy Setup leverages security with a new 64-bit plug-in for Adobe Acrobat Software, and allows the use of the HTTPS protocol in Kodak Prinergy Business Link software, which supports data communication between the Prinergy System and an MIS.
Implementation time varies depending on how it is used (cloud versus on-premise). Kodak Prinergy is user-friendly with training options based on individual needs.
Prinergy 10.0 is available at no additional cost to customers with a service contract or users of the cloud-based Kodak Prinergy with managed services.
Kodak is the most preferred choice in prepress by Indian printers across all the segments with over 1,200 installed CTP’s. Most of these customers opt for our SW bundled with our CTP.
Some of Prinergy's customers are Replika, Concord, Sakal, Navneet, Repro, Borkar Packaging, NPP, Anupama, Srinivas Fine Arts, Avery Dennison, Numex, Manali Cartons, Canpac, KL Hitech.
Prinergy’s portfolio of software products all seamlessly integrate with Prinergy workflow, as well as most third-party software and equipment. Integration and productivity are two of Prinergy’s pillar strengths for customers of all sizes and segments.
