Apogee's Clear Advantages Agfa's Apogee digital process technology is leading, powerful and has advantages over other processes. Thousands of users in the world have benefited from it. It is a magic weapon for competition. Apogee is the only PDF-based process that is fully compliant with the PDF 1.3 specification, giving full play to the advantages of PDF files, real-time processing, and full management of electronic work orders. As a representative of the digital process, Apogee has the following three main advantages:
Flexibility and versatility PDF file's important features Adobe's proprietary PDF file format is characterized by its integrity, independence, openness, and flexibility. It has been widely used in printing, electronic publishing, and web browsing. Apogee is a true PDF file-based process that generates true PDF files and fully exploits the features of its open files. The same file can be exported on multiple output devices, such as direct plate makers, proofing devices, or electronic publishing. In the Apogee process, you can also achieve the same PDF file with C, M, Y, K four-color output, or output with a spot color, without having to re-generate the PDF file. This is of great significance for improving production efficiency and production flexibility.
Open *Apogee process to adapt to a variety of production conditions, making the printing production smoother The ApogeeSeries2 adopts an open design, and the existing design, prepress, printing, and even postpress hardware software can be perfectly matched and run smoothly. Apogee Create generates device-independent PDF files that are fully compatible with third-party manufacturers' RIPs and output devices. Using the Apogee process, various hardware and software can be flexibly configured according to the actual situation, creating efficient, high-quality production conditions that absolutely meet the requirements of today's prepress operating environment.
Integrity* The process in which Apogee covers the printing workflow is not limited to prepress. Apogee has managed to integrate design, prepress, printing, and communication with customers. The Apogee process eliminates the barriers between equipment and software so that every process is maximized. It uses standard PDF format to make communication more accurate and convenient.
