If a print provider driven by prepress systems such as Agfa Apogee and Kodak Prinergy has both offset and digital printing solutions and
needs to move jobs back and forth, Fiery JDF technology can serve as an easy and quick mechanism to direct jobs to the appropriate
systems, enabling hybrid workflow. JDF jobs can be managed with a common user interface for multiple devices, being automatically
routed to the most cost-effective devices.
Hybrid Workflow Example
Fiery JDF technology also allows analog print shops to easily expand their businesses with on-demand, cost-effective and value-added
services such as variable data printing. Now those businesses can meet customers’ demands for faster turnaround times and short-run
jobs with capabilities that only digital printing and hybrid workflow environments are able to produce.
Maximizes ROI Through Integration and Scalability
Fiery JDF technology not only makes print production business more efficient but also opens new doors for future expansion by working
with many third-party solutions and by using JDF industry standards with nonproprietary formats for flexible, out-of-the-box interoperability.
It integrates seamlessly with EFI Web-to-Print, Print MIS and Proofing solutions and is supported by more than 30 partner technologies,
including Agfa Apogee and Kodak Prinergy. The integration enables print providers to meet their business needs now and in the future
and allows businesses to scale using the same solutions.
