The Ghent Workgroup has awarded Ricoh its PDF preflight certification for reliable PDF processing between creative professionals and print service providers.
‘This certification also allows us to develop and integrate tools within our TotalFlow software solutions to help our clients adopt and work with PDF standards (like PDF/X-4) and automate the checking and correction of files against these standards,’ explained Simon Tapley, workflow solutions manager, Ricoh Europe.
The integration of the Enfocus Pitstop Library within Ricoh’s TotalFlow solutions (TotalFlow Production Manager and TotalFlow BatchBuilder) allows users to configure PDF preflight as an integrated and automated workflow step. It also provides support for the latest GWG preflight standards.
‘It is great to see Ricoh’s solutions passed Ghent Workgroup compliancy,’ commented Andrew Bailes-Collins, co-chair of the GWG specifications committee and senior product manager for the PitStop product family at Enfocus. ‘This is a real benefit for their customers, taking away a lot of the guesswork and manual effort out of the system configuration. Customers can be assured that “out-of-the-box” they are conforming to a known and proven standard,’ he added.
