Prepress teams know the drill. A job lands, someone opens it, sets up the imposition by hand, adds the marks, checks it and sends it on. Multiply that by hundreds of short runs a week and the manual brake is firmly on.
So here’s some good news: CoCoCo, the pioneering open platform for print, has integrated with Ultimate Tech, a leader in imposition, nesting and finishing automation.
Connecting the print shop you already have
CoCoCo connects the assets already in your print shop, so you don’t need to make new capital investments to get more out of them. You simply connect what you’ve got.
The Ultimate Impostrip® integration brings Ultimate’s imposition and automation straight into your existing print shop setup, ready to work alongside everything else you’ve connected.
How the CoCoCo Platform fits together
The CoCoCo Platform is an open, AI-ready platform and the single source of truth for your production data. Its Data Model translates every vendor’s dialect into one unified language, and Integrations connect any software or machine, on-site or in the cloud.
On top of that, automated workflows can route each job by your own rules. Ultimate Tech software will soon be available to all CoCoCo customers worldwide through the CoCoCo Platform.
Integration with minimal fuss
“This integration will provide CoCoCo’s customer base with a world class Imposition option, which works seamlessly along-side other integrations, with minimal setup and integration fuss”, says Karl Ciz, Director at CoCoCo. “The connectivity landscape is simplifying, it will become ever easier to integrate new and existing print shop assets. We are super-happy to be working with world leading solutions providers like Ultimate.”
