Software Benefits
BenefitDescription

Integrated workflow• Integrates with the PRINERGY Platform and third-party applications

Advanced step-and-repeatfunctionality• Efficiently creates layouts for flexible packaging, offset folding carton, digital and offset
label production• Snaps artwork to selected die stations and automatically creates bleed paths from CAD die files

CAD die files supported• Imports/previews CF2, DXF and DDES from Arden Impact, Esko ArtiosCAD, or any other
CAD application• Outputs PDF, JDF, PJTF file formats

CAD file creation or modification• Creates/modifies CAD files using KODAK CAD Correct software (included)• Plan/prepare reusable step-and-repeat templates, and create CAD layouts from Illustrator EPS files• Modify and correct improperly prepared EPS or CAD files

Intelligent Smart Marks• PANDORA Step-and-Repeat Software, PREPS Imposition Software and PLA rely on the KODAK
intelligent Smart Marks feature to place marks or groups of marks on layouts and save them intemplates for future use• Smart Marks are not static; they’re relative to artwork or layout, and are automatically repositionedand resized• Layering mark capability: layer marks within the job for masking support on complex layouts• Use variable data from your Management Information System (MIS) or PRINERGY Workflow toauto-populate job information in the markDie-based bleed path editing• Edit bleed paths automatically or manually for quick and simple resolution of bleed overlaps

Backside layout creation• Create backside layouts when needed based on the type of work style(i.e. work-and-turn, sheetwise, perfector, etc.)• PANDORA Step-and-Repeat Software will automatically flip your CF2 die file to the correct position
for a guaranteed front-to-back match

Job template support• Create a library of predefined layouts which can contain job marks, die files, and artwork to makerepeat or similar job creation seamless for future production runs

SAVE HOURS OF OPERATOR TIME BY LEVERAGING PANDORA WITH PLA
KODAK Packaging Layout Automation (PLA) leverages layout capabilities of PANDORA Stepand-Repeat Software and further speeds the process and reduces cost through Rules BasedAutomation. With PLA, press sheet layouts can be automatically generated, from complex multijob layouts to unpopulated layouts.
