Berlin – April 21, 2016 – axaio software, developer of automation solutions for PDF creation, printing and content correction workflows for the publishing and printing markets, announces its cooperation with Tucanna, a global software developer and supplier of automated approval and workflow solutions for the printing market. Integrating axaio’s MadeToPrint functionality, Tucanna will enhance its tFLOW add-on portfolio with a module to handle native layout files.
With tFLOW, Tucanna offers an automated production workflow that simplifies difficult file management tasks and processes to optimize efficiency and production throughput. tFLOW handles print production steps from preflighting, collaboration and approval, and file submission, to color management and imposition. Tucanna tFLOW eliminates redundant manual touch points and provides communication tools for sales representatives, prepress operators and production teams in the printing industry.
tFLOW is able to automatically process PDF, EPS, PS, TIFF, JPG, PNG, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PPT documents. Users wishing to upload and automatically process files from their native layout applications need to convert to PDF before forwarding them to the tFLOW system. MadeToPrint, which is an optional add-on for tFLOW, will allow customers to save this conversion step, and upload native Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop files directly. MadeToPrint will undertake the tasks necessary to automatically receive native layout documents and export them into PDF before forwarding them to the next steps in the tFLOW workflow.
"Our development teams are working to have MadeToPrint integration for Tucanna’s tFLOW system available very soon. Customers will benefit from the direct handling of their native layout files from Adobe Creative Suite, enhancing usability and time savings", says René Treuber, Product Manager at axaio software.
