Presstek Latitude PDF/JDF Workflow
This highly automated prepress workflow, powered by EskoArtwork,
streamlines throughput and processing of files. Its flexible workflow tools
allow the automation of more production processes. Presstek Latitude
supports native PDF 1.7 format and the latest standards in JDF and
Certified PDF. JDF job tickets can be initiated by an MIS system sending
JDF/JMF to the workflow. They can also be utilized throughout the workflow
to reduce the need for human intervention. Presstek Latitude contains a
wide range of prepress tools including the native PDF editing application
Neo, which was recognized with the 2008 PIA/GATF InterTech Award. Neo is a
highly productive editor that allows the operator to easily correct both
text and object content in multipage PDF files for fast, efficient,

native file formats. Presstek Latitude's advanced screening technologies,
interactive trapping tool, and integrated imposition options ensure high
quality, efficiency and productivity.
