One of the great pain in the rear ends with regard to Prinergy integration is its refusal to play nice with Windows drivers. Hooking up a Prinergy system to Lotem Quantum or Trendsetter is a cinch. If your plotter or 3rd party imagesetter (if anybody still uses those things anymore) has a Postscript RIP in front, hey no problem.
But outputting correctly to a copier or deskjet inkjet is pure hell, if not impossible. You have to have a Postscript driver and a lot of manufacturers don’t provide one. And the ones that do, most times the Postscript driver is not well maintained (translation: buggy as all get out).
So I was cruising the web one day and found Hot Folder 1.2 on a shareware site. It takes in TIFF and spools to Windows drivers printer and as soon as I saw it, it was like, oh yeah, I’m gonna try that.

You can run it for about a week and then you have to pay $20 for the license. And I paid the twenty, let me tell you. I can’t tell you how many hours in the field I spent trying to get Prinergy to play nice with 3rd party printers, so $20 was like nothing for me.
Just for giggles, I tried a direct connect from Prinergy to an Epson 7000. After rooting around on the Epson web site for a little while, I found the non-Postscript driver. I set up the Holder folder application (really easy to set up, I don’t even need to post instructions), and spooled a 360 dpi TIFF to the hot folder. It worked. Then I tried a 720 dpi Tiff. It didn’t work. I then fiddled around with the driver settings and tried again. It worked. Man oh man, where was this application about 7 years ago?
Note: This would probably work with Apogee workflow as well. And Artpro. And virtually any workflow system that can output a continous tone TIFF.
