Free Flow / Job Flow & Automation

[lostmind]

Hi all! I've been using Pitstop Pro for many years now but this is new to me. They are trying to integrate Pitstop with the Fiery Job Flow or Free Flow for use in the digital printing department. Can someone tell me what type of automation can be done with Pitstop? They want to bypass Prepress with files such as: business cards with bleed but no trim box, pdfs with no marks and centered on a larger sheet and files that come in formats such as png and jpeg. They also included things like jobs that have images too close to the edge but that I would think would not be possible without prepress interaction. Thanks for your help!

Or is this something that Enfocus Switch handles?

Enfocus Switch is the workflow automation version of Pitstop.

Fiery Job Flow uses Enfocus PitStop Technology while Free Flow uses callas pdfToolbox technology. Both vendors have their own automated versions Enfocus PitStop Server and callas pdfToolbox Server. From a technology point of view the functionality that you mention can certainly be automated. Feel free to PM me should you need any assistance: [email protected].

Thanks Tom! I may just do that!
