What top printers know: INSITE Portal saves time and builds loyalty
KODAK PRINERGY INSITE Prepress Portal simplifies job submission and the file approval process for printers and print buyers. With secure collaboration, real-time visibility, and built-in error reduction, INSITE Prepress Portal saves time, cuts costs, and improves accuracy. In this post, we'll explore how INSITE streamlines workflows, boosts productivity, and enhances customer satisfaction.
What Sets INSITE Apart
Integration with PRINERGY
One of the most significant advantages of the INSITE Prepress Portal is its direct integration with KODAK PRINERGY Connect. This integration eliminates the need for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sites and email attachments. Once approval is received, files drop directly into PRINERGY, streamlining submission and making file management faster and more efficient. By providing a direct connection, INSITE Prepress Portal ensures that files are securely transferred and easily accessible, reducing the risk of errors and delays.

Gateway for Fast and Accurate File Submission
INSITE Gateway's plug-in for the Adobe Creative Suite, including Illustrator and InDesign, makes file hand-off fast, accurate, and easy. This free tool is available in versions 9.0 - 11.0 and allows print buyers to submit files directly from their design software to INSITE, streamlining the submission process and ensuring that files are correctly formatted and ready for prepress. The integration with PRINERGY and its Preflight+ technology also helps automatically identify errors during job submission, allowing problems to be corrected by the designer before they become costly rework.
Eliminating Hard Color Proofs Saves Time and Money
One of the most impactful benefits of the INSITE Prepress Portal is its ability to eliminate the need for hard color proofs. By leveraging the MATCHPRINT Virtual calibration solution, customers can view accurate, color-managed proofs online—instantly. This not only accelerates the approval process but also reduces material costs and shipping delays, making the entire workflow more sustainable and cost-effective.
"Customers were thrilled that the INSITE Portal now generated proofs for them in seconds rather than days."
Collaboration
Efficient collaboration is essential for any prepress workflow, and the INSITE Prepress Portal excels in this area. The portal provides tools that facilitate real-time collaboration and online approval which is important for corporations with multiple locations or stakeholders.
INSITE Prepress Portal centralizes collaboration, job files, and approvals in one secure platform. By bringing these activities together, INSITE helps reduce confusion and errors, so your team can work from the most current information, all in one place. While some processes may still happen outside the portal, INSITE makes it easier to keep everyone aligned and up to date.
Job Tracking
The INSITE Prepress Portal captures corrections and approvals, providing accurate job tracking and costing. This feature is crucial for maintaining high-quality output and ensuring that all stakeholders are informed of job status at every point throughout the process. By offering a comprehensive overview of all pages and their status, including preflight indicators, the portal helps keep the process organized and on track with complete transparency for both the printer and the print buyer.
Build Loyalty and Control Costs
By providing a direct connection for job submission, communication, and tracking, the INSITE Prepress Portal helps build customer loyalty and control costs.
