KODAK UPFRONT Production Planning Software Saves Users Time and Money by Standardizing Production Process

KODAK UPFRONT 4.0 production planning software improves productivity by replacing the old method of manually folding paper and drawing layouts. First shown at PRINT 05, UPFRONT 4.0 production planning software is now available to customers worldwide.

UPFRONT production planning software serves commercial sheetfed printers that produce point of sale items, booklets, flyers and stationery; web printers that print glossy weekly magazines and giveaway catalogs; and book printers. The software also increases efficiency and decreases costly planning errors by automatically producing accurate job layouts, creating imposition-ready digital templates for prepress, and sending JDF/CIP3 information to bindery equipment.

“We use UPFRONT 4.0 software for accurately planning our jobs. It gives us the ability to export detailed layouts to prepress and to send cutting, folding and stitching information to the finishing department,” said David Loeffelmacher, Production Planner at Japs-Olson Company, a $133 million direct mail and commercial printing company near Minneapolis. “UPFRONT 4.0 software lets us create layouts really fast for multiple processes, and our operators have no problem picking up the software. It’s very easy to learn.”
