New Workflow Paths to improve production speeds. These new paths include:

• Direct-to-Layout is ideal for users who like to view all of the images in a production run at the same time so they can plan their print run efficiently.
• Job-Based processing streamlines file preparation for individuals that choose to open one image at a time, preparing each file to RIP and print individually.
• The Server-Based workflow is favored by users who manage the RIP from the Master Queues Manager, receiving files to RIP from separate networked workstations.
