For many companies in the print media industry today, working with
CtP imagesetters is an excellent means of optimizing their
profitability. But how can Heidelberg CtP and CtF devices be
integrated into existing and future workflows? And how do you avoid
costly and time-consuming conversion of established production
processes? Prinect MetaShooter from Heidelberg is a made-to-measure
solution that provides the user with a whole range of benefits.
Integration into the Prinect workflow, open systems,
optimized flexibility and absolute data security make this software
a future-focused investment. Prinect MetaShooter uses the reliable
TIFF-B data format, the format used for storing the imposed and
screened sheet. TIFF-B works like a digital film, thereby ensuring
absolute data security and maximum reliability.
One of the key benefits of Prinect MetaShooter is its
significantly enhanced performance in the prepress process. While
Prinect MetaDimension is able to generate any number of bitmaps
when disengaged from the imaging unit, Prinect MetaShooter can
output the TIFF-B bitmaps generated by the RIP to the connected
recorders. Advantages include better utilization of resources and
enhanced plate coordination.

Heidelberg has marketed Satin Screening, its optimized frequency-modulated (FM) screening technology. The print shop Thieme in Meißen has already started using the new technology and owner Ulrich Thieme has only one word to describe the first Satin print results: "Terrific!" Success Story
