Sierra Adobe WorkflowThe Peak of ProductivitySierra is built on Adobe’s PDF Print Engine (APPE) with cross media functionality in mind. It’s equally productive in commercial, digital, and hybrid applications with a strong feature set that includes Adobe in-RIP trapping, PDF preflighting, dynamic imposition, and advanced soft proofing in both 2D, and 3D formats.Sierra’s client-server architecture provides a simple user interface for both Mac and PC workstations, allowing operators quick access to jobs and status as they move through each step of job preparation towards final output. Imposition functionality is available to each operator without restriction, offering an economical alternative to separate seat-license applications. From 4-up to VLF output formats, Sierra handles complex job requirements with ease, resulting in fewer mistakes and increased productivity.Able to output to over 250 different output devices on today’s market, Sierra offers true prepress independence ® in a scalable, affordable, and complete package. Sierra workflows have proven themselves in over 300 installations worldwide and the user base continues to grow.Cross Media Workflow for digital, offset and hybrid applications. Sierra provides flexibility on demand and on schedule.Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) core offers the latest in interpretive power with JDF compliance. Work stays in Portable Document Format through each workflow step, including interpretation.PDF Preflighting and automated job correction through the celebrated Enfocus Library.
Catch design errors and automate fixes before mistakes make it to output.Fully Integrated, Dynamic Imposition replaces expensive stand-alone applications, reducing the cost of ownership and keeping the work inside a single, manageable interface.Adobe In-RIP Trapping offers quality and efficiency at no extra charge. Trap control is customizable for each device and presets are applied accordingly.Advanced Soft Proofing in 2D and 3D formats offers a digital look at trims, bleeds, binding, and light response to ink, substrate and varnish.Client-Server Architecture gives multiple operators access from anywhere on the network. Each client is fully featured and supports both Mac and PC operating systems.Ink Remapping helps operators avoid wasted time and material by properly combining like separations caused by errors in design.Output Support for over 250 different platesetters, imagesetters, proofers, digital printers, and digital presses, offering true prepress independence ®.Scalable and economical, Sierra promises accurate file interpretation and productive throughput for 4-up, 8-up, and VLF offset prepress, as well as digital and hybrid environments. Achieve prepress independence by driving any of over 250 output devices from Kodak, Agfa, Screen, ECRM, Presstek, and others.
