Job preparation & nesting software

We are a small, fast-growing e-commerce company mainly selling to private individuals. As we have a large flow of files to print every day, PrimeCenter is a very good software for us. We use it to organize files ordered via our webshop. It has simplified our work considerably. We drag the files into the recipe and it’s basically ready-to-print. The next step will be to implement an autoflow for the files to go through PrimeCenter, then through CalderaRIP to be printed automatically.

We use PrimeCenter to prepare artworks before submitting them to CalderaRIP for printing. We are happy with PrimeCenter’s integration into our workflow. It has helped with our file manipulation and setup prior to the printing process. Two improvements that we have noticed right away were nesting complicated files and shapes more efficiently to save media, and visually inspecting for cut paths in the Studio window. The fixups are also a life-saver.

Our customers love PrimeCenter— it’s the missing piece between our prepress workflow solutions and their RIP, and the ideal tool to optimize nesting automatically while preparing cutting operations. Powerful, fast and fully customizable, PrimeCenter is perfect for digital printers who wish to optimize their media usage and fleet of printers. 

PrimeCenter is compatible with any RIP and cutter controllers that support PDF file formats. When different input image files come in, PrimeCenter preflights & nests them into ready-for-production layouts. It doesn’t replace the RIP, but it’s far more effective to prepare files & prevent issues at the production stage.  

We use PrimeCenter to automatically nest incoming print files, and we use a separate computer running CalderaRIP for ripping. The recipe feature has been very convenient and allows us to automate our production process. It’s great that it works with Optiscout to generate cut files.

We use PrimeCenter to expedite the production process between the design department and the printing department. Daily tasks for designers are minimized as they don’t have to carve out time for print file setups and can focus on design setup and client communication for proofing. The most obvious improvement since acquiring the software has been a higher turn over rate without increasing staff on duty for our custom orders especially.

We are happy with Caldera’s technical support. They have helped us via TeamViewer sessions until our basic setup was in place as well as shared our live recorded team viewer sessions so we can set up some on our own, allowing us to understand the software better.

We find PrimeCenter to be incredibly useful, and we are pleased with the features it offers. Therefore, in addition to upgrading CalderaRIP, we want to extend our subscription to PrimeCenter. We are excited about the upcoming version and the enhanced capabilities it will bring.
