The latest version 6.5 of Kodak’s InSite pre-press portal system is now available. It was previewed at drupa in May. The company said it offers new features that help to further decrease costs, reduce cycle times and strengthen client relationships. These include an application that allows users to review, approve and annotate jobs from an Apple iPad.
Intended for increasingly mobile workers, the InSite Software 6.5 App for iPad Tablet is based on Kodak’s Smart Review System. Features include an overview of all jobs on the InSite server, visibility into review and approval status for all stakeholders, and the ability to mark up and annotate on-screen. Once a job is approved in the App the main InSite software can automatically begin processing the files in a Kodak Prinergy workflow. The App is available at no charge to customers who upgrade to version 6.5.
‘The InSite Software 6.5 App for iPad Tablet allows businesses to adapt to and take advantage of today’s on-the-run lifestyle,’ said Jon Bracken, Kodak’s General Manager of Unified Workflow Solutions. ‘The ability to review and approve print jobs while on the road or at home, 24/7, can increase employee productivity and provide faster turnaround. It’s all about bringing printers closer to their customers, differentiating your business and increasing revenue opportunities.’
Additional features in the new v.6.5 include a new document uploader based on the Adobe Flash platform, as well as enhancements that allow quicker job status review, more efficient pre-flighting and easier user management.
Today’s print buyer is not always familiar with the terminology of printing, so InSite Software provides visual feedback that is easy to understand and shows what’s going on with the file,’ Mr Bracken added. ‘They’ll know immediately whether the file uploaded correctly or if there’s an issue, and will know when the job is in production.’
