Heidelberg to Demonstrate Prinect EFI Interface

KENNESAW, Ga.—Print shops that use Heidelberg’s Prinect Pressroom Manager to control production and manage production data now have the ability to connect with the Pace and Monarch print production and management solutions from EFI.

Heidelberg's Print 09 demonstration will show bidirectional JDF/JMF presets and job costing information between Heidelberg Prepress Manager and Pressroom Manager and the EFI Monarch and EFI Pace systems. Attendees will see how a JDF input from an EFI system can automatically create a Prinect Production job, assign a workflow plan to that job, and fill the job with rich job administrative and production data useful for the Integrated and seamless Prepress, Press, and Postpress production system. Then, as production starts, JMF provides production status milestones to EFI Monarch and EFI Pace, and collects job costing data at job completion.
