Caldera PrimeCenter

Preprint automation for large format digital printers

Caldera PrimeCenter is a prepress automation solution for large format digital printers. It is designed to preflight customer’s image files and optimize the production stage. PrimeCenter doesn’t replace the RIP, as it does not directly drive any printer or cutter, but acts as a firewall, preventing potential issues at the production stage.

Save time and get ready to print files

Save time and get ready to print files

Caldera PrimeCenter saves valuable time in file preparation, such as layout and nesting, resulting in 100% ready-to-print files before the RIP stage. That way you spend time printing, instead of preparing. Furthermore, you can also save cutting time and get 100% ready-to-cut files before the cut stage.

Reduces repetitive prepress tasks
