Agfa Graphics has introduced Apogee 9, a PDF-based workflow solution that serves as the production hub for graphic reproduction, which it believes will help commercial printers expand into wide-format.
“With Apogee 9 as the production hub, commercial printers can automate their workflow, and it helps them to expand into the wide-format inkjet market,” said Andy Grant, global head of software, Agfa Graphics. “Apogee 9 now brings typical wide-format tasks and existing powerful prepress functions together in one single, PDF-based workflow. It provides them with more flexibility and integration so they can remain competitive with added value products such as banners and posters.”
With APPE 3.4, Apogee 9 incorporates Adobe’s latest core technology for processing complex designs, and thanks to HTML5 the new WebApproval portal for page submission and approval can now be used on tablets and other mobile devices.
The package start shipping in Q4 2014.
