Throughput:
Operation of Chromira workflow is highly optimized for maximum print throughput and fully unattended operation. The usual "front end" bottleneck is eliminated with Chromira. Each PC networked in the lab has full access to the "front end" functions. This completely eliminates the need for a dedicated "front end" computer, and removes the bottleneck, which results from having to pass each print job through the "front end" workstation.
Print files may be printed from any location on the network. No machine operator is required for printing. Printing begins immediately and proceeds as the file is received over the network. The print file need not be fully received at the printer to begin printing. Worst-case network delays will cause the printer to pause with no resulting artifact in the print and no loss of print quality.
The user interface for submitting jobs and controlling printing parameters is refined for high throughput and particular ease of use. Each workstation submitting jobs to the printer can control all printing parameters as well as monitor the queue of work being printed.
Each workstation has full control of: print size, image rotation, print job priority, borders, text notes on prints, color balance, number of prints.
Multiple Chromira printers are supported.

Open System:
Compatible with all commercial RIP packages with RGB TIFF output. A dedicated RIP is NOT required because Chomira can image RGB TIFF, JPEG, and BMP file directly. Compatible with any off-the-shelf color management software. Sophisticated built-in Self-Diagnostics system. Optional Automated print cutter. Automates cutting of package prints and nested individual prints from roll.
