What's New?

General

In this chapter, we would like to highlight to you briefly the main enhancements and changes in the current Prinect Signa Station. The blue links will lead you directly to more details on the topics.

Subscription Model

The following item is relevant only if you are working with the Prinect Production Manager.

Billing-relevant usage with the Production Manager

The use of the Prinect Production Manager workflow is based on a subscription model for use of the software for a monthly user fee. The monthly user fee consists of a basic fee and a variable share. The variable share depends on the total TIFF­B area produced in the workflow, in square meters.

The following link leads you to a document, describing the actions in the software that generate chargeable TIFF­B area and, consequently, influence the user fee:

Software Licensing Agreement

When the software starts, a window with the current licensing agreement displays. Read through this carefully and then click "Accept". Enable "Do not show this message again." if this message is not to display again.

Important: You must be logged in to the system with your customer account for this process. The option may not be enabled by the Heidelberg technician.

Optimization/Gang Jobs

Sheet optimization with segments for gang jobs

Segments are rectangular sections that can also be set up as strips along the entire paper height. They describe finishing steps, e.g. cutting, finishing (lamination, embossing, varnish) or folding.

This means that areas are defined on the press sheet where all the elements that will have a joint type of finishing are grouped together.
See Sheet Optimization with Segments, Segment Templates, Segment Template Editor and Segment Inspector and Overview of Procedure.

This requires the additional "Ganging with Segments for Finishing" license option for the "Gang & Sheet Optimizer" license (see Licensing ).

For an introduction to this, see also the video tutorial Optimization with Segments.

Enhancement for placeholder $[SegmentName]

Up to now, the $[SegmentName] placeholder was used only for segmented folding sheets.

To place the name of the used segment template as a mark on the press sheet, the placeholder now also replaces the name of the used segment template if it is not a segmented folding sheet.

A mark with this placeholder can be placed on a segment (as a segment label), on a folding sheet/assembly block or on a page. If the mark is placed onto the paper, subject or press sheet, all seg­ments on these items separated by commas are replaced by the placeholder. The names of the initial segments do not display.
