Automation and Productivity: (cont.) Automation Bundle $ JMF JDF 6 3 8 4 9 2 5 V3,4 (incl. in v5) V3, 4 (incl. in v5) Workflow with Automated Imposition Automated Imposition - automates impositions based on MIS-generated JDF files or Kodak Preps Imposition Software job files; also allows signatures to be selected in Workshop: when Preps Imposition Software templates are selected, impositions can be automatically created. Page5.pdf Page.pdf Multi-page files Automated Page Assigment Assembled Imposition Automated Page Assignment (APA) -assigns page positioning within an imposition based on rules. Pages may be automatically added, and page geometry set. Populated JDF files are supported: run list details are read from the imposition. Rules-Based Automation if quantity > 2500 then print to Magnus if color = no then send to Digimaster if color = yes then send to NexPress Kodak Magnus Platesetter CTP Solutions Kodak Workflow System Rules Based Automation Kodak Digimaster EX System black/white production color Kodak NexPress Kodak Rules-Based Automation Software (RBA) is workflow automation based on monitoring for an event, and when that event occurs, performing an action. With RBA, manual workflow steps can be turned into programmed actions. Hundreds of events and actions can be created. RBA can used with the Kodak InSite Prepress Portal System, Kodak Web to Print Solutions and/or digital presses, to create a completely automated workflow. Blueline Proofing (Signature Booklet) 6 3 8 4 9 2 5 6 6 6 6 Imposed Forms Workflow with Blueline Signature Booklet Designed for creating -up or 2-up reader-order proofs of the page set positions from an imposition plan layout. The signature booklet is created by de-imposing the imposition plan layout into individual pages, RIPing the pages, and then outputting them, in reader order, to a duplexing laser printer or file.
File Editor Adobe Illustrator File Editing exports job to.ill and.psd Production ready Adobe Photoshop File Editor is a workflow feature that facilitates the check-out, conversion and editing of files using Adobe Illustrator software, and Adobe Photoshop software. While the file is being edited it is locked within the software, disallowing a user to output an old file. Once editing is complete the edited file is easily checked back into workflow and processed. File Editor is a site license allowing all workflow users the ability to edit files. Layered Versioning Single with LAYERS Workflow Versioned document Layered Versioning (LPV) enables multiple variations of a publication within one file, to simplify and reduce errors in multiple-language production, and regional versioning of a document. The content that is shared among all versions remains constant, while the layers contain versioned content. LPV is flexible in its input file requirements and efficient in its ability to output multiple versions without manual workarounds. It simplifies platemaking, by eliminating the need for physical or digital double-burns. It removes the potential for errors caused by turning separations on and off. All versions and proofs are derived from one process. Regional-versioned workflows are supported. With multiple page assignments per page set position. Advanced Preflighting X? Preflight Fail Workflow with Advanced Preflighting Notification Preflight Succeed Advanced profile-based preflighting helps identify and correct problems in input files. Includes a profile editor, so users can create their own profiles. Generates a preflight report that itemizes the results, with links to the objects in the digital master.
JMF Automation and Productivity: (cont.) Dashboard - 5 user option - unlimited user option CSR V4, 5 V4, 5 with Dashboards Dashboard via web In addition to the single included license. The Dashboard shows the Workflow Workshop job status through a web browser interface in a consolidated graphic display. Job status is updated continuously, so the display is always current. Dashboard is designed for customer service representatives, prepress managers, and production planners, to provide an overview of job status and progress without using Workflow Workshop or asking a prepress operator. Kodak Business Link Software $ MIS System Workflow with Business Link InSite Prepress Portal A Web browser interface for the creation and viewing of detailed production reports, including reports on materials, time, and processes by job or time period. Business Link can also connect bi-directionally with qualified MIS systems using JDF/JMF, to exchange product and process-related JDF job data and allow the complete automation of job creation and setup in Workflows. Imposition information from an MIS can be automatically imported and/or used to create impositions (requires the Automation and ivity Bundle). Packaging Layout Automation Data gathered can be sent to an MIS for automated materials tracking and distribution of status information. Adds the ability to automatically created complex packaging layouts further reducing operating costs by completely automating the creation of complex packaging production layouts eliminate mistakes by using validation rules to compare input parameters against known manufacturing requirements stored within the database. Reduce operating costs thru the re-use of existing templates or previously used production layouts. Packaging Layout Automation includes a feature to merge specific layout components from templates and or previous jobs eliminating the need to repeat these manual steps on new jobs.

Screening: Kodak Maxtone Screening HyperFlex and HyperFlex Advanced Techology Advanced Flexo Screening Bundle Seamless Screening Staccato 0 option: additional license Staccato 20 option: additional license A hybrid of AM and FM screening technology. Useful for flexo packaging and other applications, to reduce scum dots (small deformed dots that can affect highlighted areas). Screening technology that helps flexo plates hold smaller dots and/or graphic elements during the platemaking process. Used with Maxtone screening: in extreme highlight areas, Maxtone screening simulates FM screening by randomly removing dots from the AM grid. HyperFlex technology improves Maxtone screening by placing light valves where dots have been removed.
