JDF Integration Between HIFLEX MIS and CREO Color Servers Demonstrated at drupa

In the CREO Color Server, the jobs automatically enter a queue without having to re-key information, thus saving time and avoiding costly errors in the workflow. Once delivered to the CREO Color Server queue, the job is automatically processed and sent directly to the digital press.

Extensive JMF support allows bi-directional communication between systems. JMF messaging makes it possible for the CREO Color Servers to update MIS with process-related information. HIFLEX receives transaction data such as labor/processes and materials, including the correct assignment to the order number in the MIS. All information and reporting by CREO Color Servers are done via JDF/JMF over HTTP.
