Product Details

Konica Minolta and EFI present the Prodigy Professional, a breakthrough in control technology for the management of on-demand production printing. It is suitable for an extensive range of applications in the digital production market, and will handle both current and future needs.

• Prodigy Professional supports all features and functions of its compatible print engines. The unified GUI communicates in an identical fashion with the b/w production systems bizhub PRO 920 and bizhub PRO 1050 as well as the high-end colour system bizhub PRO C500.
• It can allocate print jobs in the most effective manner: including colour splitting and cluster printing, both particularly welcome for the efficient rapid completion of mission-critical jobs. 
• The most important asset of the flexible configurations available with Prodigy Professional is scalability – a basic requirement for any location with growing volumes and increasing demands!
  

With its combination of generous feature set and ease of use the Prodigy Professional will streamline any document workflow, improve the overall productivity and help to achieve optimum performance in any location.

Features

TrueEdit - full view and refinement
At the heart of TrueEdit is the first class preview function. This tool has the power to display the whole document or any subset of the document on the screen, naturally including thumbnails at page level to indicate each finishing decision.

The key operator can then immediately edit at page level or organise the whole
or any subset of the document. The preview function is pure versatility at a mind-boggling speed, consequently reducing proof printing to a rare occurrence.

Further major benefits of using only ripped data soon become obvious with the application of TrueEdit. The available editing tools are very effective, fulfilling all needs and are operated with amazing speed and ease. The complete independence from the original application and author means the key operator can concentrate entirely on the quality of the document.

TrueImage - b/w quality and versatility
These user-friendly options are available for the fine tuning of several processes in order to maximise black and white print quality. Each change can be saved and is then applied to all subsequent ripping of documents in the respective category.

TrueColor - the brilliance of colour matching
This set of features enables the key operator to make direct adjustments relating to the output quality of colour print engines.

True Color offers the possibility to exert direct influence on the reproduction of documents giving the operator an individual means to achieve the exact results he desires. Additional features including colour management and the possibility to print colour samples are also available.

Colour Split - effective productivity
One of the most attractive assets that the Prodigy Professional makes available, is Colour Split, a truly unique functionality that provides highly efficient combined colour and b/w printing.
Colour split will automatically and immediately separate colour from black and white pages within a document and allocate the print jobs to the appropriate output devices. This furthers flexibility, improves the handling of mission critical jobs and represents a tremendous saving potential.

MicroImager - the scanning solution
The add on MicroImager is powerful and extremely easy to use and provides the ideal scan-and-use and scan-and-archive platform.

A whole range of possibilities is available from the simple printing of a hard copy through the incorporation in an existing document to the full archiving facility.

Benefits

PrintStation Manager (PSM)
The PrintStation Manager (PSM) is the control tool for all print jobs and is designed to maximise productivity. It is equipped with an allembracing Graphical User Interface (GUI) which is intuitive, extremely user-friendly and requires an incredibly short learning curve. The enjoyment of the sheer simplicity and straightforwardness is further heightened in the knowledge that all print engines are controlled in an identical manner. A truly universal solution.

The PrintStation Manager deals entirely with ripped data. This produces these essential major benefits:

• Compatibility between different sets of data (e.g. Word, QuarkXPress, PDF) is assured.The complete independence from the original application and author means the key operator can entirely concentrate on thequality of the document. This is particularly advantageous for merging and editing of documents.
• Printing can take place immediately once the data has been edited and/or processed.
  

Workflow

Incoming data from any source is automatically spooled, queued and ripped – ready for the PrintStation Manager.



The Prodigy Professional fulfils the perfect pivotal print management role.
It covers Document Make-Ready, Print Output Management and Print Monitoring. It embraces any form of incoming data and operates with a GUI which is applicable to all machines and operations, thus ensuring full compatibility, remarkable versatility, excellent quality, maximum productivity, a short learning curve and excellent cost control.

Effective productivity

Colour Split
Colour split will automatically and immediately separate colour from black and white pages within a document and allocate the print jobs to the appropriate output devices. This furthers flexibility, improves the handling of mission critical jobs and represents a tremendous saving potential.

Cluster Printing
To accommodate variations in job size and workflow cluster printing spreads a job simultaneously across several identical devices. This flexibility heightens performance and speed which is particularly beneficial for mission critical jobs.
