Latest Canon PRISMAsync Print Server Raises the Bar in Colour Management

 

New version helps streamline print production for high-quality output with minimum effort

 

BRAMPTON, ON., June 21, 2018 – Continuing to refine its products to meet the needs of customers who require powerful solutions for accurate colour output, Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has announced the release of PRISMAsync Print Server Version 6 for the imagePRESS colour digital production presses.* Building further upon the success of PRISMAsync Color Print Server, Version 6 features a suite of new and robust tools. The new embedded colour verification and validation is designed to allow a broad range of customers to achieve optimal, predictable print quality and the redesigned user interface can help to speed navigation.

 

PRISMAsync Color Print Server is the industry’s first DFE-embedded G7® Certified System. Operators can manage and run jobs on multiple, compatible presses through an easy-to-use approach designed to reduce errors. These print servers not only boost production capacity, but can help lower costs and increase profitability by delivering high-performance, deadline-driven printing.

 

Among key features of PRISMAsync Color Print Server Version 6 are:

 

G7 Verification

PRISMAsync Version 6 offers an intuitive interface to help guide users through a few short steps to print and measure G7 Grayscale target patches. Through this process, users can quickly identify if their digital press is printing within G7 Grayscale conformance producing predictable, high quality output with minimal effort.

 

Colour Validation

Through this feature, the user can confirm the degree to which their printed output conforms to a characterized reference print condition. This feature provides a useful metric of media/press performance compared to industry tolerance.

 

Job Organization

For production environments that manage a high number of jobs, the intuitive user interface allows users to sort, search, filter, and locate jobs. In addition, the DocBox feature helps customize job organization on the PRISMAsync Print Server to the user’s workflow preference.

 

JDF/JMF Tooling

The enhanced CIP4 certified JDF/JMF capabilities now allow communication of print job accounting information and XSLT transformations to better integrate into MIS and prepress systems.

 

Security Features

PRISMAsync V6 expands the system administrator’s control over the security policy and user rights management for the PRISMAsync system superseding even the service technician’s rights. Furthermore, complexity rules and expiration periods of user passwords have been added.

 

Availability

PRISMAsync Print Server Version 6 for the imagePRESS colour digital production presses is now shipping with new orders and is available as a field upgrade for those customers using PRISMAsync Print Server Version 5.
