Product Info
PrintFactory Go offers all job preparation and last minute correction tools the PrintFactory suite has to offer in an easy-to-use stand-alone application. Targeted specifically at digital large format print users, it offers a comprehensive collection of pre-production tools saving time and reducing error and waste.
PrintFactory Go has a unique, built-in preflight engine. Each opened file is checked against a set of job-specific parameters such as color spaces, fontembedding or overprint settings. Image or font-size checks have been specifically adapted to the needs of an LFP environment, checking on, viewing distance rather than resolution or point size.
Whether it is a color correction on an image or an illustration, a last minute text edit or even adding a new element, PrintFactory Go allows you to edit or correct any object element in the job.
PrintFactory Go offers a dedicated LFP job preparation environment. You can easily add folds, seams and tunnels, define white ink or varnish, define die cut lines, create tiles and place grommets.
For recurring jobs smart templates make the preparation even faster.
No need to set up your different RIPs with complex proprietary color management, PrintFactory Go offers normalized, color-managed output according to industry standards.
You probably receive files from all kind of different sources. PrintFactory Go allows you to reduce the number of applications you need to use. Its internal native PDF engine accepts, checks and edits any PDF file and also handles the most common image and graphic file formats.
