PrintFactory launches Linux compatibility for workflow software

PrintFactory has launched Linux compatibility for its workflow software suite, saying it is 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 aims to offer 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. Boasting advanced processing power, PrintFactory’s Linux compatibility offers a 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. PrintFactory provides job preparation and colour correction tools required for wide-format print production. As well, the software’s Cloud-based workflow connects multiple devices for dynamic production scheduling, status reporting and resource management from any connected computer, it explains.
