Apogee Portal…

What is Apogee Portal?

In today’s fast-paced printing and publishing environment electronic communication is critical, and print professionals and creative teams have to collaborate like never before.

Apogee Portal (previously called Agfa :Delano) is an open and integrated web-based system that offers the perfect solution in streamlining the approval process between publisher and printer, increasing visibility, security, integrity and efficiency.

Apogee Portal enables us to share a common virtual workspace with customers. With this investment publishers and designers can now drag and drop finished PDF files into our virtual pre-press arena and quickly and efficiently receive flightcheck reports, and see thumbnail JPEG or SVG (Adobe’s Scalable Vector Graphics) images of post-ripped pages to approve, reject or replace.

Essentially, it enables the interaction between publisher and pre-press to be under the control of the customer right up to plate output. Apogee Portal means that Pensord pre-press is always open for business, any time, day or night, delivering a speedier response and greater visibility and control to the publisher.

Virtual proofing

With Apogee Portal, we can share a common virtual workspace with our customers, enabling publishers to inspect, track, preview, review, proof (remote or on-site) and approve all project-related information in real time.
