AUTOMATED WORKFLOW
AUTOMATED MAKE-READY FROM START TO FINISH
With the optional PRISMAprepare automation capabilities,
you can automate your entire prepress workflow by creating
and applying templates for jobs that use the same layout
and settings. Templates can be easily exported from, and
imported to, other PRISMAprepare systems.
POWERFUL FLEXIBILITY
For added flexibility, PRISMAprepare’s powerful hot folder
functionality and a command-line interface let you automate
make-ready and reprint documents without the need to even
open PRISMAprepare.
PREPARE ONCE, PRINT ANYWHERE
Because PRISMAprepare software is device-independent, you
can reduce setup time and accelerate turnaround to help
improve customer service, all while unleashing the full power
of your production operation.
UNLEASH THE FULL POWER OF YOUR ENTIRE FLEET
PRISMAprepare make-ready software is virtually device-
independent, allowing you to prepare documents for
production on the Canon varioPRINT DP Line, the Océ
VarioPrint 6000+ Series, the Canon imagePRESS, and
Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series, or other select
printers accepting PDF, PCL, PS files.*

making the desired edits, the changes are directly applied
to your document in PRISMAprepare.
INTEGRATED WORKFLOW
Although PRISMAprepare is a stand-alone solution, it can
also be integrated into a broader workflow solution
such as PRISMAdirect, which is designed to streamline
the order and production management from job submission
to finished product. All PRISMA workflow solutions share
a common user interface that’s designed for added ease
of use and shorter learning curve. Pairing PRISMA workflow
solutions with Canon’s PRISMAsync family of print servers
for digital production presses offers maximum integration
and productivity.
