In addition to handling PDF files, Trueflow SE continues to support PostScript files and expands its JDF capabilities still further, added the company.
The Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) combines the strengths of content definition in PDF and JDF to control print systems.
It allows PDF files to stay device-independent across the workflow, eliminating the need to flatten transparent artwork, make late-stage content corrections if required and enable re-purposing jobs for output on different printing systems, said Screen.
Trueflow SE is claimed to continue to improve the integrity of file input and output and strengthens the connectivity between designers and printers.
The flexibility, offered by the APPE implementation, enables jobs to be sent to the output of choice at the latest moment in the workflow.
Trapping, colour management and imposition can vary in relation to the output device of choice.
Deliveries of Trueflow SE will start in the Autumn and will replace the current Trueflow 3 range of products, with current Trueflow users able to upgrade to Trueflow SE.
Other products from the Trueflownet suite of products will retain connectivity, or will be updated to a connectable version, if applicable.
According to Screen, Trueflow SE is a result of the company's strategy to widen its range of digital imaging and printing equipment.
The company added that it has broadened its product portfolio over the last 18 months with the launch of the Truepress 344 digital offset press, the Truepress Jet520 inkjet colour transactional press and the Truepress Jet2500UV, the company's first large format inkjet printing system.
Sjaak Veeken, Screen's product manager workflow for Europe, said: "Trueflow SE continues to provide the best workflow system by generating a stronger connection between Trueflownet products and Adobe's JDF and PDF technology.".
