All systems involved in management, prepress, press and postpress operations work with a central JDF through the Prinect Workflow Integrator.
The study examines developments made to systems such as Prinect Prinance, Prinect Printready System and Prinect FCS 100, but also embraces completely new developments such as the Prinect Workflow Integrator and Prinect Pressroom Manager.
The open JDF architecture of all software products involved enables printshops to work with a central JDF for every job said Heidelberg.
The full integration of administrative data, pre-setting data, status information and master data management ensures an efficient and end-to-end flow of data and information.
"This study highlights Heidelberg's strategic approach to open integration via JDF interfaces and to the future development of JDF-based products that increase the efficiency and reduce the costs of print media production.
The new Prinect Signa Station and Prinect Printready System are already fully based on JDF," said Jorg Bauer, vice president of product management for Prinect at Heidelberg.
He added that the users' investments in Prinect Prepress Interface and Prinect Data Control are still safe, since their migration into the future products featured in the workflow study is ensured.
The Prinect Pressroom Manager and Prinect Workflow Integrator featured in the study will be available at the end of 2005.
On its Drupa stand, Heidelberg is presenting open JDF integration into the existing products Prinect Printready System and Prinect Data Control.
In the Prinect Centre in Hall 2 at Drupa, Heidelberg is showing how JDF data can be imported from eight different industry software providers, including Megalith Softwareproduktions GmbH systems, Prism Group and Printvis systems.
The first customer installations are already underway with a number of industry software companies and further international installations planned for the months to come said the company.
