FreeFlow Makeready

All at once, it's easier.

Make-ready is at the centre of any print production environment. If you're a quick-printer that might simply mean scanning hardcopy, but if you're running a commercial print business, it could mean having to perform sophisticated colour management operations and the preparation of page impositions.

Whatever the focus of your business, chances are that you face a mix of make-ready tasks that run from the mundane to the complex and demanding. But typically what all make-ready processes have in common is that they're labour intensive, can add to your costs, and open the door for human error.

FreeFlow Makeready streamlines your labour-intensive make-ready operations and empowers prepress operators with a wide range of practical, versatile capabilities to prepare jobs for production more conveniently, productively, and accurately than ever before. When combined with the FreeFlow Scanner 665, Makeready provides a complete scan-to-print solution with efficient document editing and production make-ready features.
