French software company, Caldera, released a new version of its prepress solution, PrimeCenter 2.0 in time for this year’s PacPrint show.
Caldera software is designed specifically for the digital print and cut industry in the graphics and textile markets. The range includes CalderaRIP which helps printers consolidate their production by using a single RIP and the recently upgraded prepress solution, PrimeCenter 2.0, which is designed to reduce media waste and increase operator productivity.
Caldera regional sales and service director Valery de March attended PacPrint and spent time on the Pozitive stand, which is a key distributor of the Caldera range in Australia, and an exclusive dealer of the swissQprint and Summa cutter range.
de March discussed the benefits of working with Pozitive to expand Caldera’s footprint in Australia.
“Pozitive is one of our best partners here in Australia because they carry multiple brands which we have very good connections with such as Summa for the cutter and swissQprint for the printers. On top of that, Pozitive is also providing a service around our licence which serves a large population of existing and potential customers in Australia,” de March said.
“They are very knowledgeable and they understand the integrated print and cut workflow, for example, which is some of the value we are bringing to the customer interface.
“Caldera is the common point – we drive the printers, we drive the cutters, and Caldera allows a company such as Pozitive to provide a very solution-orientated package to customers. It’s not just a machine, it’s a solution.”
About PrimeCenter 2.0
PrimeCenter 2.0 includes updates which improve user experience during file preparation, increase productivity through boosted automation and reduce media waste.
Nesting speeds in the new update have been improved to save up to 10 per cent of time on large nesting operations. It also features the ability to activate internal registration marks without the edge marks to save up to 12 per cent more space on the layout.
Another feature is the introduction of the Recipe queue to save time and ease production automation – this is available for PrimeCentre Pro and Max packages. This feature allows operators to place their configured recipes in a queue to let PrimeCenter run them while they focus on other tasks.
