Product description

Prinergy Evo is an entry-level, PDF front-end, workflow solution targeted at 4-up and smaller 8-up commercial print market. 

Overall, Prinergy Evo is a PDF-based prepress workflow that organizes prepress and plate production. Prinergy Evo supports tasks such as trapping, proofing, imposition, and film-making, and platemaking of single page and imposition PostScript and PDF files.
