Caldera is excited to announce the release of PrimeCenter 4.0, a major update designed to simplify job preparation and accelerate production workflows for print companies of all sizes. This release introduces a more intuitive interface and automation features that allow users to prepare files for production in just a few clicks.
At the heart of PrimeCenter 4.0 is the new Home, a centralized hub that streamlines access to recent projects and recipes. For seasoned users, it offers a seamless way to pick up where they left off, while newcomers can easily get started with pre-configured templates that eliminate the challenge of starting from scratch. Step-by-step tutorials now guide users through the recipe creation process, ensuring that even those new to the software can automate their file preparation with confidence.
Templates also play a pivotal role in this update, enabling users to accelerate job preparation with pre-configured recipes for sticker sheets, banner rolls, two-sided banners, yard signs, and DTF sheets. These templates can be customized to suit specific needs, ensuring flexibility across a variety of large-format printing applications.
Navigation within PrimeCenter has also been streamlined. A vertical navigation bar organizes the software into clearly defined sections, making it easier than ever to move between software modules and manage workflows efficiently. Expanding its compatibility, PrimeCenter 4.0 introduces support for Summa GoProduce, allowing seamless file preparation for Summa flatbed cutters. This enhancement broadens the range of cutting solutions available to users, making integration with diverse production environments even more seamless.
Finally, PrimeCenter 4.0 also enhances existing packages to deliver more value to current users. Subscribers of the Pro package now benefit from automatic export, eliminating manual steps and ensuring a streamlined workflow from preparation to production. Meanwhile, Essentials users can now automatically apply input profiles to their files, optimizing consistency and reducing setup times.
Céline Levy, Product Manager at Caldera, emphasizes the impact of these updates: “PrimeCenter 4.0 is all about making job preparation faster and easier. By enhancing automation, simplifying navigation, and introducing step-by-step guidance, we’re enabling businesses to remove bottlenecks and focus on what really matters—getting their jobs ready for production.”
She continues: “This release represents a major evolution for PrimeCenter. We’ve refined the user experience without altering the workflows our customers depend on, ensuring a seamless transition to a more efficient way of working.” PrimeCenter 4.0 will be available for download in March 2025 through CalderaDock
