Media-based workflow

The media catalogue is the backbone of the media-based workflow. The media catalogue contains the media that the print system supports.

The prepress staff selects the media for the job from the media catalogue. The control panel shows the operator the media the job needs.

During the initial configuration of the print system, the media catalogue is filled with media and media settings.

When you work with the media catalogue, you encounter the following benefits:

The media in the media catalogue store print quality settings that the entire print system uses. Each time you select the media from the media catalogue, the print system automatically applies the same print quality settings.
The control panel shows the operator which media to load.
The control panel, Remote Printer Driver and the PRISMA software access the same media catalogue.
You can also use the media catalogue for copy jobs.

Define the media settings on the control panel or with the Settings Editor.

The system administrator determines if operators are allowed to manage the media catalogue from the control panel.
