These release notes describe the changes in the Kodak Prinergy 5.3
software.
Where applicable, the release notes refer you to the Prinergy
documentation for more information.
Licensing
Prinergy 5.3 is available to all Prinergy 5.x customers as a free upgrade.
A Prinergy 5.3 license key is required in order to upgrade your Prinergy
workflow system to Prinergy 5.3. You can obtain the license key
yourself using the new Kodak Product Registration and License
Activation System (PLAS). For access, go to https://
ecentral.kodak.com/productregistration/.
Note: Prinergy 5.3 supports the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 operating
system and the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 operating system. If you are
running Prinergy 4.x on Microsoft Windows 2000, or if any of your render stations
are running Microsoft Windows XP, and you want to upgrade to Prinergy 5.3, you
must upgrade the operating system on each of your Prinergy servers to Windows
Server 2003 R2 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 x64, in addition to upgrading your
Prinergy software. The operating system upgrade is not included in your Prinergy
5.3 upgrade. To discuss your upgrade options, contact your Kodak representative.
Documentation
Documentation is available in the software, on the DVD, and on the My
Kodak Services website at http://services.kodak.com/.
Upgrading
Your Prinergy software must be at version 5.2.2.1 before you can
upgrade to 5.3.
The following diagram explains available upgrade paths, depending on
your current Prinergy version:
4.0.2.0 4.0.2.1
Windows 2000 Server and Professional
Install key

5.1.2.0

Note: Before beginning the upgrade, ensure that you use the PreCheck.exe tool
to check for potential conflicts. The Precheck software performs a number of
internal checks, including checking the system to ensure that the minimum
required software version of Prinergy is running, that the Oracle database has
been backed up within the last 24 hours, and that there is adequate disk space for
the upgrade. You can download the Precheck software from Partner Place.
Memory requirements
Prinergy has the following memory requirements.
Storage requirements
A 73 GB or larger system drive is required for this upgrade. Prinergy
primary servers with large databases may require larger disks, since
the amount of free disk space needed on your system depends on the
size of your database and the configuration of your system.
Before you start the Prinergy 5.3 upgrade, run the PreCheck.exe
utility that is included in the upgrade package on the primary server to
determine whether sufficient free space is available.
6 Chapter 2Hardware and software requirements
Archive media
Since the 5.0 release, Prinergy has not supported the DLT format
single-tape devices and tape libraries as archive media.
Due to technology changes, the latest generations of Prinergy-
supported servers are no longer compatible with the SCSI cards that
are required to drive the DLT tape devices. Windows Server 2003 R2
SP2 drivers for DLT devices are also difficult to source for those servers
that are still compatible.
Note: Windows 2008 x64 does not support archiving to tape. If you want to
continue archiving to tape, you must keep a Prinergy workflow server running
Windows 2003 with the tape device connected to that server.
Windows 2003 Server cluster SMB with named forks for Prinergy
5.1 or later and Mac client
computers running Mac OS X 10.5,
10.6, or 10.7

urged when using it. This option only works with Adobe PDF Print
Engine output.
1. Go to http://www.eci.org.
2. Download the Altona Test Suite 2.0 from the Downloads section of
the European Color Initiative Web site.
3. Create a job in Prinergy.
4. Add the Altona input files.
5. Create or open a refine process template, and in the Generate list,
select PDF.
6. In the Normalize section, under PDF Handling, select Leave As Is.
7. In the Spot Color Handling section of the refine process template,
clear the Map All Spot Colors to Process check box.
8. In the ColorConvert section of the refine process template, perform
the following steps:

list, select TIFF.
Note: You can choose any raster format that supports contone data.
18 Chapter 4Using the Altona Test Suite 2.0
This section lists problems that are known to exist in the software. For
more information, see also the latest Prinergy Readme file.
ColorConvert
The following ColorConvert problems have been identified:
Color matching certain files with transparent objects can result in
significant changes in appearance. The problem is file specific and is
dependent on the transparency blending modes applied, the
object's color and the DeviceLink or ICC profile used to color
convert the objects. The problem occurs because each graphic and
image object used in the transparency group is color converted
separately. Blending of the objects in the destination color space
changes the appearance.
Workaround: Flatten the PDF files. Contone proofing cannot be
used to predict this issue when color-matching is performed on final
output. [PRINERGY-29950]
ColorMatch vector overprint handling of certain files with
transparency groups that also use overprint management can
generate unexpected results. The new objects generated by the
ColorMatcher vector overprint handling process end up ruining the
appearance. Contone proofing with raster overprint handling cannot
be used to predict the problem with vector overprint handling used
on final output. See the Prinergy help for detailed descriptions about
the processing differences between raster and vector overprint
handling. [PRINERGY-29131]
Indexed color objects in certain files do not ColorMatch correctly.
The problem has been found to frequently occur when converting
indexed color objects to Devicegray color space.
[PRINERGY-28897]
Profile pair RGB-to-CMYK color conversions using a version 2 ICC
source profile and a version 4 ICC destination profile results in a
contaminated white point. The problem most frequently occurs with
ColorFlow integration because version 4 device profiles are
generated by ColorFlow by default.
Workaround: Change the ColorFlow preferences to generate
version 2 compatible profiles.
22 Chapter 5Known problems
Rules that include the Create Document action will initially work after
upgrading to Prinergy 5.2. However, if you open the rule for editing, the
Digital Print Queue parameter gets marked as invalid.
You can avoid this problem by not editing the rule unless necessary, or
you can fix the problem by respecifying the Digital Print Queue
parameter in the rule.
Importing impositions:
Signature Selection does not support import of Preps 6 jobs with
come-and-go or cut-and-stack binding styles. When creating a new
imposition, if you select Use existing Preps job and select a Preps 6
job with a come-and-go or cut-and-stack binding style, an error
message appears. You have the choice of selecting a different job
file or using external imposition software to create the imposition.
Creating impositions:
When you create a new imposition, the available come-and-go or
cut-and-stack binding styles are in Preps 5 mode only.
Preps 5 and 6 differ in the way that they display cut-and-stack and
come-and-go jobs. In Preps 6, cut-and-stack jobs are shown as
multiple webs, and come-and-go jobs are shown as multiple
sections. In Prinergy Workshop, such jobs are displayed in the Preps
6 format, while in Signature Selection, they are displayed in the
Preps 5 format. This is just a difference in display: the page
assignment is correct and the imposition will print correctly.
