PrintFactory has launched Linux compatibility for its workflow software suite, becoming the first software provider to offer a fully supported workflow solution across the three main operating systems — Windows, MacOS and Linux.
The launch of PrintFactory on Linux offers wide-format printers maximum flexibility in the way they work. For example, if prepress operators are using MacOS or Windows workstations, PrintFactory now enables jobs to be simultaneously processed on a Linux server.
Offering advanced processing power, PrintFactory’s Linux compatibility offers an ideal solution for large-format printers looking to cluster applications and RIP files on an industrial scale. The open source platform also supports the direct integration of PrintFactory’s RIP application with large-format print devices.
Erik Strik, CEO at PrintFactory, commented, “As a team of former wide-format printers, we understand that every print shop works differently. That’s why we’re excited to release PrintFactory on the Linux platform.
“Whether you’re a Linux enthusiast or prefer to work from Mac or Windows, PrintFactory gives large-format printers the choice to mix and match operating systems in a way that works for them. For more industrial applications, Linux is ideally suited to work as a RIP server for true clustering capability.
“The launch is the latest development in our strategy to open up opportunities across the wider dealer network. We’re looking forward to meeting wide-format printers and dealers at FESPA Global Print Expo to share how a fully compatible workflow solution can support better printing and bigger profits.”
PrintFactory provides all the job preparation and color correction tools required to optimize wide-format print production. The software’s easy-to-use cloud-based workflow connects multiple devices to enable dynamic production scheduling, status reporting and resource management from any connected computer.
Visit PrintFactory at stand B5-G31 at FESPA Global Print Expo in Munich between May 14 and 17 to discover how PrintFactory can support wide-format printers on their journey to maximum productivity and minimum wastage.
