Oce-Netherlands and Markzware Europe are now cooperating in online pre-flighting of print jobs software, which checks digital files for print for defects and inaccuracies.

Such problems can cause blockages in the digital printing process, with all the associated disadvantages in terms of production, margin and efficiency said Markzware.

Many graphics companies experience those problems on a daily basis, given that 70 per cent of all PDF's or other printable file formats contain defects.

With the aid of Safetynet from Oce and Markzware such defects will become a thing of the past, because the digital file is checked for problems before being sent from the customer to the graphics media company - either printer, publisher or advertising studio, for example - claimed the company.

Safetynet is being continuously demonstrated on the Oce stand - 231 - during the Gorinchem Graphics Trade Fair in The Netherlands.

In that way the graphics company receives only good files, which meet the conditions required, thus generating a streamlined production process without delays.

The Safetynet software is based on Markzware's patented Flightcheck Online.

It offers a pro-active and secure online system for preflighting, collecting and delivering digital files, said Markzware.

The online file check has no impact on the customer-friendliness of the graphics company, because the customer is led through the online pre-flighting process via a user interface, added the company.

That is done on the basis of a digital order form, which is completed directly by the customer.

The user interface of Safetynet can be fully adapted and coordinated per customer or customer group, meaning that the graphics company itself can define the job requirements with which files should comply.

Along with the advantages in terms of productivity and user-friendliness, Markzware added that Safetynet is available 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, so that customers can send orders to the graphics company at any time, day or night in a secure fashion.
