Caldera’s prepress automation solution PrimeCenter helps wide format digital printers optimize job preparation for printing and cutting.

While automating repetitive prepress tasks, PrimeCenter allows you to increase operator productivity and optimize your layouts to save time and reduce media usage.

Orders (or jobs) are first submitted to the prepress station, either manually, from a webshop or from an ERP. Then, PrimeCenter generates nested layouts based on ”recipes” created by the operator.

After adding the marks and optimizing the nesting, PrimeCenter sends both PDF files (the print file and the cut file) to the production stage. At this stage, CalderaRIP software can be integrated to RIP the file before printing. After printing is done, the cutting can start!

Suitable for all users

PrimeCenter is a versatile tool that can benefit print operations of all sizes. Owner-operators will find that it integrates seamlessly with the RIP and helps save valuable time in file preparation. For medium-sized print shops, it reduces the need for a dedicated prepress operator, freeing up time to focus on printing rather than preparation. In larger printing operations, the ability to automate daily repetitive tasks has significant benefits.
