Team Solimar Can Offer You:
“This particular job was e-delivery for a number of iterations, both internal and third-party. We host and archive 100% of the output and print the content on a color roll press. Pre-ReadyPDF, this application would have a 24-hour turnaround. Using ReadyPDF it takes just 1 hour – the savings are quite incredible!”
Chris Beech, Manager, Composition Services, Gilmore Doculink
"RR Donnelley has been a long-time enterprise customer of the Solimar Chemistry platform for print file conversions and post-composition enhancements. ReadyPDF is now benefiting us in our pre-press processes as we cleanup and improve PDF files prior to production."
Brian Cox, Senior Director, Software Development & BCS Architecture, RR Donnelley
“Borns Group migrated from a commercial offset to a digital inkjet press with the Solimar PDF workflow platform as our print optimization and automation solution. We rapidly gained new work and our turnaround times went from days to hours.”
