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.”

“FreeFlow Core has been a great asset—and it’s not only for production. It also frees up the graphics department to do more creative jobs instead of being tied to imposing and setting up for laser cutting.”
We make it easy to make it yours.
With industry-leading flexibility, any shop—from small to enterprise-level—can benefit from FreeFlow® Core. Start small and add over time, or go all in with our modular approach:
Base Software puts common prepress and job routing tasks on autopilot.
Advanced Prepress optimizes everything: PDF prep, colour management, document manipulation and annotation.
Advanced Automation transforms manual steps in your workflow into programmed actions.
Output Management implements even smarter decision making regarding where and when your jobs will be printed.
Variable Data fine-tunes personalized communication workflows by integrating VIPP® and PDF/VT jobs with FreeFlow® Core.
“FreeFlow automates imposition for all portal orders, allows CSRs to add bleed, preflight files and impose press sheets—skipping prepress altogether. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
