Kodak released KODAK PRINERGY Software version 11.5, delivering a broad set of upgrades that improve automation, integration, and overall performance across print production workflows. PRINERGY, long recognized as a leading workflow platform for commercial and packaging printers, now offers new capabilities designed to streamline complex processes and help shops adapt to evolving production demands.

At the core of the 11.5 release are significant enhancements to Rules-Based Automation (RBA). New automation actions, improved troubleshooting tools, and expanded control options allow users to build more intelligent, efficient workflows with reduced manual intervention. These improvements support PRINERGY’s goal of enabling smarter end-to-end automation across both offset and digital output.

The update also deepens integration with key components of the Kodak ecosystem and third-party tools. Notable improvements include tighter connectivity with KODAK PRINERGY PREPS Imposition Software, performance upgrades and simplified operation for Virtual Proofing Software Plus (VPS+), and new profile options within the Preflight+ engine.

PRINERGY 11.5 further enhances the integration of PrintLink, enabling more robust JDF and PPF data exchange with press interfaces and cutting systems. This strengthens automation between prepress and finishing, improving consistency and reducing setup time. Additional refinements in the new version include security enhancements and usability improvements that provide a smoother day-to-day experience for operators.

“The introduction of KODAK PRINERGY Software version 11.5 demonstrates our commitment to keeping our workflow solution at the cutting edge of technology and innovation,” said Jim Barnes, Chief IT Implementation Officer at Kodak. “PRINERGY 11.5 empowers printers to boost automation, productivity and system security, ultimately leading to increased efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction.” With version 11.5, Kodak continues to evolve PRINERGY as a powerful, future-ready production backbone for print service providers seeking maximum automation, integration, and output reliability.
