ProWORX Label Suite is equipped with an intuitive panel space to design, calculate, and record step and repeat data for semi-rotary and full rotary die cutting. Mark Andy created ProWORX Label Suite, its own imposition tool, to meet the needs of an increasing number of hybrid press users.
This new software streamlines and automates label production setup, including inline printing and embellishment processes. ProWORX Label Suite is an Adobe Creative Cloud extension tailored to Mark Andy’s hybrid presses. It provides job defining and imposition for printing and post-processing, including die-cutting, and allows for more efficient and sustainable label production.
‘ProWORX Label Suite is another software solution in our portfolio, following the recently launched sMArt Link – a real-time, on-press data collection and press monitoring system for narrow-web devices,’ said Ben Richardson, Senior DFE Specialist at Mark Andy. ‘It is Mark Andy’s response to customer feedback on their requirements and expectations. It is designed to complement our top-class hybrid technology and offer converters an advanced software solution that brings efficiency and sustainability to the entire manufacturing process,’ he added.
As an Adobe Creative Cloud plugin, prepress operators can download and begin working with ProWORX straight away in a software environment that they are already familiar with. Because it is a 100% proprietary solution from Mark Andy, it is tailored to the specifics of the company’s hybrid presses, as well as the different types of job that converters produce.
‘Mark Andy has continually expanded its portfolio of hybrid presses, based on inkjet and toner technology,’ added Ben Richardson, ‘which offers numerous options in terms of digital printing and conventional embellishment. Hybrid label production brings a layer of complexity to the production process that is combined with the need to make the best return on digital press investment. ProWORX Label Suite was created to assist our customers to leverage the advantages of digital hybrid technology, whilst maintaining a high level of job throughput and accuracy.’
ProWORX Label Suite saves and recalls imposition template files as well as exporting XML data for use in a prepress automation system. The primary function is the creation of an automatic imposition grid with direct control of PDF layers for separation to die and flexo plates.
Independent control of individual label lanes makes ProWORX Imposition perfect for multi-SKU gang printing, while Data Merge Assistant features provide support for variable data printing.
