Kodak added that attaining compliance with the GWG specification was the leading request of customers using Prinergy workflow systems in Europe.
Jon Bracken, director of product management at Kodak Unified Workflow systems, said: "Achieving GWG compliance for Prinergy workflow systems further extends the open, expandable framework that forms the backbone of a Unified Workflow system.
It is another example of how Kodak Unified Workflows can help print business owners eliminate errors and workflow bottlenecks in pre-press, maximising their investments in digital and offset production systems." The goal of the Ghent PDF Workgroup is to make it easy to produce and exchange reliable digital documents for use throughout the publishing workflow, from creation to final print production.
Kodak is a member of the Ghent PDF Workgroup.
Prinergy pre-flight software is claimed to enable total quality control of input files by performing pre-flight checks on PDF files and sending error or warning messages to the operator if specifications are not met.
By automatically eliminating problems associated with PDF files that have not been properly created, Prinergy pre-flight software reduces delays and costs associated with manual errors.
Prinergy is also said to increase output consistency and quality, as well as production speed and throughput.
