Highly automated and easy to maintain, it streamlines commercial workflow processes, making it an important component of a complete solution from Creo. “We’re excited to introduce this evolution of Prinergy, the market-leading PDF workflow with over 2,000 installations,” said John Ward, Prinergy Evo product manager. “This new solution provides the commercial printer with an affordable production system that suits their needs and complements a broader commercial print solution.” Proven Quality and Performance The Prinergy Evo workflow system features proven Creo color management, trapping and screening technologies. The workflow system ensures greater output predictability, reducing waste and the cost of error. Designed for simple, automated operation from the desktop, Prinergy Evo provides process templates and an intuitive interface for enhanced automation and ease-of-use to streamline processing, increase efficiency, and reduce production costs.
