Agfa Apogee PrintDrive, this is a program used to drive plate or film setters, proofers etc.
We use it between our ApogeeX workflow and our platesetter. We also send CIPS3 data to our presses and drive our two sided Sherpamatic proofers.
Jobs are contained in a cue and any job can be sent at any time.
Two unique features that we use it for are:
1) DQS (digital quick strip). Printdrive allows us to send the layout templates and pages seperately and then marries them together when send to an output device. This allows us to rip only pages that have changes without having to rerip a whole flat.
2) The second is double burning. We can take a flat, a invidual color or page and drag and drop to combine with another flat, a invidual color or page. This is particularly useful when we are running multiply languages with the same 4clr images, easy to proof with each language.

While not necessary we find it to our advantage. We could drive our platesetters directly from ApogeeX.
