Using Hotfolders, Open Print can process CIP3 files, pulling out accurate run information such as layout, sheet size, plate size as well as providing preview images to the pressmen. The Open Print system can also translate CIP3 files, making it easier to make newer and older systems talk to each other.
Open Print understands both JDF and the MXML file formats making it possible to transfer quotes automatically into and out of Metrix without further data entry.
