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

Stefan Reichhart, managing director of HIFLEX, says, “Reality has proven that networked production via JDF/JMF leads to improved process control due to more transparency and flexibility, equating to huge productivity increases and reductions in expenses. We are excited about the successful cooperation with Kodak’s Print On-Demand Solutions Group and the realization of the HIFLEX-CREO Color Server link. This paves the way for huge workflow efficiencies based on JDF automation technology, as well as within digital print and production.” He continues by stating that, “Beside the fact that HIFLEX automatically receives process feedback from the CREO Color Server, there is a further, more important feature to point out: In the realized connectivity, HIFLEX is not only capable of triggering JDF job-creation but can also receive an order via JDF that was placed from within a non-HIFLEX store front system. This bi-directional flexibility offers many new possibilities in the area of networked production.”
