Template-based automation allows for fast processing of large page volumes, which is especially beneficial for newspaper and publication printers.
Prinergy Evo 6.1.3 operates on a philosophy of . This linear approach is what makes it so effective for medium-volume shops.
Evo 6.1.3’s hot folder polling system works best with a flat or shallow folder structure. prinergy evo 6.1.3
