rBa implementation
• Automatic job archiving
• Automatic RIPing and proofing through InSite Software
• Automatic variable print specification (VPS) creation
• Automatic imposition of PDF files
results
• Spoilage reduced on press with potential savings of over
$50,000 per year.
• 20 labor hours per week saved through auto archiving,
equating to approximately $27,500 per year.
• Five operators produce approximately 600 plates per
week while also running the digital press. Commercial
printers of this size typically have 10 to 14 operators in
prepress.
• With Prinergy and RBA Software, this printer posts
just under 0.3 LH/P. Most commercial printers post
0.7-0.9 LH/P.
• Other benefits of using RBA to integrate Prinergy and
InSite Software include reduced cycle time, which has
been compressed from 3-4 days to several hours, and a
higher level of service offered to customers.
