Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today released OcÉ  PRISMAprepare 6.1, the Company's latest generation of all-in-one document  preparation software. This solution streamlines the make-ready process from  composition to production to help printing professionals shorten production  turnaround times, expand their capabilities, enhance productivity and reduce  operational costs - all while maintaining color quality and consistency. In  addition, the latest PRISMAprepare solution allows users to create and compose  Variable Data Printing (VDP) applications.

 

This device-independent software optimizes the productivity capabilities of  Canon's imagePRESS and imageRUNNER ADVANCE lineups, the OcÉ VarioPrint DP line  and a variety of color and black and white production cutsheet printers.

 

"The document preparation process can be one of the most time-consuming  aspects of production work," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general  manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. "When this  process is not optimized, profitability and customer satisfaction is at risk.  The improvements Canon made to the OcÉ PRISMAprepare software will support print  providers and enhance their ability to meet increased and more complex customer  needs."

 

Recipient of the IF Communication Design award and recognized by Nielsen  Norman as one of the top ten best-designed applications, the OcÉ PRISMAprepare  platform also offers a variety of solutions, tools and enhancements that  streamline the make-ready process.

 

Intuitive Interface

Designed for ultimate ease-of-use, OcÉ PRISMAprepare 6.1 provides a  simplified interface that allows users of varying skill levels to navigate the  prepress process without the need for a lengthy onboarding process. The WYSIWYG  (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) preparation approach ensures that the on-screen  layout matches the final printed product. From the position of staples to the  location of fold lines, users can easily and quickly preview the exact look and  design of a document before it is ever sent to the printer.

 

VDP Composition

The latest version of OcÉ PRISMAprepare now includes Variable Data Printing  composition capabilities such as adding specific content and graphics to each  printed piece based on information in a linked database so users can create  simple VDP applications without having to open a specialized software  application. The new VDP capabilities allow users to expand their offerings and  support clients with highly targeted and personalized print communications.

 

Enhanced Productivity

OcÉ PRISMAprepare 6.1 offers a variety of innovative capabilities that  support every part of the make-ready process. This new version also offers  end-to-end workflow based on open Adobe PDF standards, and supports multiple PDF  plug-ins. Print providers can take advantage of hot-folders to automate  make-ready for repeating job types, eliminating unnecessary steps so that  make-ready processes are efficient and cost-effective. In addition, the  automatic color page recognition and color splitting capabilities allows users  to reduce operational costs by outputting documents in the most cost effective  way.

 

Ultimate Color Control

The diverse and integrated color management features of OcÉ PRISMAprepare 6.1  solution allow users to ensure color integrity and optimization for print. This  includes the ability to ensure consistent spot color usage and modification of  individual image tone and color reproduction prior to printing. With the support  of these features, print providers can easily prepare and optimize color  documents for high-quality color printing.

 

PRISMAprepare 6.1 is currently available* for a free upgrade to PRISMAprepare  v5 customers with existing software maintenance agreements. For more information  and details visit www.usa.canon.com.
