KODAK INSITE Prepress Portal System Version 5.0 Adds Features to Improve Efficiency Throughout the Prepress Process

ROCHESTER, NY—July 13—Version 5.0 of the KODAK INSITE Prepress Portal System offers a series of new features to enhance collaboration and productivity among prepress operators, print buyers, and service representatives.

“As a secure Web portal in a print provider’s workflow, the INSITE Prepress Portal System enables faster turnaround time by allowing users to submit content and have it proofed for final approval online,” said Pat Lord, Product Manager, KODAK Portal Products. “This latest version adds a number of functions that make the process even more efficient and effective.”

The user interface in Version 5.0 provides a new look, designed for performance, flexibility and ease of use, and includes a powerful new version of the KODAK Smart Review Proofing Client.

Print providers can use the Themes feature to increase brand recognition for their companies and each customer by customizing individual elements of the INSITE Prepress Portal System’s user interface, such as the header, colors and contact information. A more personalized experience can be created for users to see the logo, terminology and other brand attributes of their companies when logging on to their INSITE Prepress Portal System site.

A new Smart Review feature allows pages in a job to be easily verified for confirmation and review of required changes. The Compare function enables two pages to be viewed side by side, along with a third image that shows all of the differences between the two. Differences can be displayed in a variety of ways, including the ability to zoom in on a page to see particular areas in greater detail.

User roles make it easy to manage how users interact with the system. Roles define a collection of user rights and access permissions that determine what options can be seen in the user interface, the actions that can be formed and what jobs and pages can be accessed. User roles provide a flexible tool to define how different types of customers and users participate in the review, approval and production workflow.
