Xerox® FreeFlow® Core 8.0

Step Into Speed

Transform demanding to done—instantly—with the industry’s most flexible prepress automation software.

Xerox® FreeFlow® Core accelerates prepress and job routing tasks for any job—from small business cards to ultra-large wide format signage. Its automated, rules-based intelligence and super-efficient touchless workflows eliminate time-consuming manual tasks so jobs can get done in a fraction of the usual time.

Our capacity has increased by 60-70%, which means we can handle more orders—but more importantly, those files are actually processed within two hours as compared to manually, where the same amount of work would have taken three to four days—at least.

— Marco Poli, Managing Director, PremCom
