Key Features of Caldera PrimeCenter
File Preflight and Optimization
PrimeCenter includes tools to check and optimize files before they go into production. This feature helps detect and correct issues in print files, such as missing fonts or low resolution, ensuring that each file is print-ready and avoiding costly mistakes.
Automatic Nesting and Layout Management
PrimeCenter can automatically nest designs and layouts to maximize media usage, which is crucial for reducing waste in large-format printing. It optimizes layouts by arranging multiple images or designs on a single sheet or roll, maximizing the use of material and saving costs.

Barcode Generation and Cut Path Management
The software can generate barcodes and QR codes for efficient tracking and automation throughout the production workflow. It also supports automated cut path creation, ensuring that each printed item can be cut accurately, whether using a digital cutter or a finishing machine.
