Kodak PREPS 5.2 imposition software feature upgrade

Kodak's PREPS imposition software is now upgraded to version 5.2. The upgraded software can automatically generate 2/5 interlaced barcodes, which greatly improves the efficiency before printing and improves the reliability after printing. This open, standard barcode can be read by the WST barcode control system. The bar code is printed in the blank area of ​​the printed sheet to help the printed sheet in the binding. The barcode reader is installed on the post-press equipment and reads the collation information in the barcode, reducing the errors of collating and folding.

Directly generating bar codes through PREPS 5.2 software will ensure the integrity of the data and improve the quality of control. PREPS 5.2 imposition software also has some other features that can significantly reduce the cost of operations and turnaround time, and can also be integrated into the user's workflow.

The bar code is controlled by the control system, and each sheet is checked when it is sent to the post-printing equipment to ensure that the collation is 100% correct and efficient. PREPS 5.2 software dynamically generates bar codes that will help prepress and postpress departments reduce bookbinding errors and increase customer satisfaction.

In addition, PREF 5.2 imposition software can also use JDF files to provide digital large-format documents, which will help prepress staff to eliminate more manual steps in their familiar workflow. PREPS 5.2 imposition software can also integrate with multiple workflows and receive over 200 input file formats, which will greatly increase productivity.

PREPS software can be used with a variety of workflows including Kodak Bids, Kodak Prinergy, and Kodak Prinergy Evo. In addition, the software also supports Macintosh OS X and the latest WINDOWS operating system and is compatible with Adobe Acrobat 7 and QuarkXpress 6.5 software.
