Preps is used in 89 countries on six continents, making it the imposition tool of choice for multiple channels of the commercial printing industry. Since this tool was introduced to the graphic arts industry in 1993, thousands of printers worldwide have become users, with says Creo time and money saving benefits.
The 25,000th copy of Preps software was purchased by MacDonald & Evans, a 100-year-old sheetfed commercial printer in Braintree, MA, USA. Frank Piazza, owner of MacDonald & Evans says, “We are pleased that Creo celebrated this special occasion with us. Preps has been a valuable tool for our company for many years, and we look forward to using this outstanding piece of software for many more years. “
Tom Wentzell, prepress manager at Macdonald & Evans says, “We started with a copy for our Brisque workflow system and we’ve stayed with Preps. We burn 400 to 500 plates every month and run every job through Preps. It handles everything from signatures to flat work, perfecting—and everything in-between.”
Eliminating the need for manual stripping, Preps has the ability to impose any combination of PostScript, PDF, EPS, DCS, and TIFF source files into signatures. These imposed signatures can be output to any PostScript-compatible device such as a computer-to-plate device, imagesetter, on-demand printer, digital printer, wide-format imposition proofer, or laser printer.
