Driven by Prinect Digital Frontend
We’ve developed the Prinect Digital Frontend for the Versafire, serving as a smart control center for streamlined operations. Intelligent automation ensures ease and intuitiveness, facilitating short production times, quick job changes, and personalization.
This frontend supports standardized production without compromise. From order creation and preflight check to color management and imposition, all steps can be automated seamlessly.
Crafted for superior printing outcomes
Inside the Versafire LP, reproducible quality is ensured by an active perfecting register scanner, continuous calibration, and integrated sheet cooling. Optionally, each sheet can be compared with the PDF data and automatically rejected if deviations are detected, resulting in consistently perfect output.
Integrated post-press capabilities offer new opportunities, including on-demand production even for single print runs. Sorting job outputs saves time in finishing and reduces delivery times. With the Versafire LP, your print offering expands to include brochures trimmed on three sides with a straight spine, posters up to 1,260 millimeters long, and banners with six or eight pages, complete with duplex creasing.
