Server Mainstream Server

Agfa Mainstream is a full-service Postscript Level 2 prepress production server. It comprises a solid core functionality, enhanced by a plug-in architecture which other vendors--third party companies whose software you use every day--can also connect to. Its processing functions are mainly centralized on a powerful Sun SPARCstation, but every-day control is distributed among the Macintosh workstations it serves.

Agfa Mainstream is designed to be a versatile, modular system. It can be configured as a simple file server or as a sophisticated, multi-CPU workflow manager. It features a flexible graphical user interface which is used to set up and control the server. Administrators can add software components dynamically, and configure a system appropriate to applications and workflow.
