Esko has introduced Automation Engine QuickStart for Sign which is preloaded with production workflows for sign and large-format printers and is designed to get a shop up and running with the standardized design/print/cut processes within five days. To accommodate business growth, QuickStart can be upgraded, integrated with upstream MIS systems, and connected with new production equipment. Features include Device Manager to monitor job statuses, and manage the queue of connected devices; and various automated tasks such as: preflight, PDF optimization, approvals, automatic cut path and bleed creation, tiling, and automatic nesting.
