Solimar Systems, a provider of workflow software for print production and digital communications, says version 9.2 of its popular Print Director Enterprise platform features enhanced security and functionality. Solimar recently announced a partnership with Fujifilm Business Innovation Asia Pacific.
“Some early adopters have shared that they are now able to retain jobs in-house that were previously outsourced which improves their overall ROI,” said Mary Ann Rowan, chief experience officer at Solimar Systems.
“Solimar Print Director Enterprise (SPDE) plays a crucial role in the overall Solimar Chemistry platform, providing an onramp to PDF-centric workflows while offering robust data optimizations, conversions, job management, and device connectivity for non-PDF workflows,” the company said. “SPDE connects host computers to production print devices that normally do not directly interact, to provide a powerful enterprise output management system.
“Enhanced with new capabilities to expand its application and ease of use, SPDE version 9.2 features an intuitive operator interface for improved overall job control, enhanced IPP security for compliance, and introduces new Job Definition Format (JDF) compatibility to better control finishing elements of the print process.
“JDF Finishing Controls remove the need to convert PDF files into PostScript or other formats to further optimize the workflow. PDF finishing information in SPDE 9.2 is controlled by a rules-based system of JDF commands using conditional logic to map PDF file finishing commands to the required JDF format, saving processing and production time. Printers can now edit, maintain and add finishing commands throughout a PDF workflow, even when the source file is not PDF, thus supporting multiple industry standards.”
The Secure IPP Print Server within SPDE 9.2 now features additional authentication support. Other enhancements include an expanded API for the submission of jobs, font upgrades and job ticket conversions.
