Solimar Systems ReadyPDF and SPDE (Speedy) version 9.3 Offer Key Enhanced Functionality and Performance
Solimar Systems, a leading provider of print production workflow solutions, today announced the release of Solimar® Print Director® Enterprise (SPDE) version 9.3. This latest update introduces new capabilities and enhancements designed to support intelligent automation and improve efficiency, color fidelity, and overall performance in print production environments.
Key highlights of SPDE 9.3 include:
- ICC Profile Support: SPDE 9.3 now allows users to specify a color profile to use when rasterizing documents using its PDF Interpreter. Color profile and rendering intent options allow users to more tightly control output for specific printers or devices, enhancing color accuracy.

- New Conditional Page Rasterization Feature: SPDE 9.3 introduces a new ReadyPDF feature that selectively renders complex PDF pages to full-page rasters before printing. This feature can help users produce revised content that might not otherwise be supported on a target printer.
- Device-Specific JDF Output Support: The JDF Output module now supports certain device-specific features for Canon PRISMA and HP Elite controllers.
- New Time-Out Controls: New options in the Queue Manager offer expanded control over system-wide and application-specific inactivity periods.
- Streamlined Logging: SPDE 9.3 includes options to suppress Windows Event Log messages, potentially improving performance in environments in which IT controls trigger redundant event logging.
- Staying Up-To-Date: SPDE supports Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11, ensuring compatibility with the latest operating systems and promoting best practices for secure computing.
Mary Ann Rowan, Chief Experience Officer at Solimar Systems, states, “SPDE 9.3 demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for the print production industry.
