Welcome to Core Productionserver – At the CORE of Printing
We’re launching a new product family – Core Productionserver – that makes it easier than ever to choose the right software for your digital print production. With this fresh lineup, we’re saying goodbye to our former Flexline, Productionserver Light, and specific manufacturer editions.
Why the change? Because we listened. The new Core Productionserver lineup is more streamlined, better balanced in features and pricing, and much easier to understand. Whether you're a seasoned print professional or just stepping into digital production, there's now a clearer path to finding the edition that matches your needs.
For partners and resellers, this also means easier consultation and better-fit solutions for your customers – with fewer questions around "what version do I need?" and more focus on what really matters: getting results.
Let’s take a quick look at what each edition is all about.

Optional Packages for Advanced Needs
With Core Productionserver, we’ve created a product family that fits real-world print environments and evolves with your business – whether you're printing posters, managing complex signage workflows, or running a production powerhouse.
To complement the capabilities of Core Productionserver M and Core Productionserver L, we offer three carefully bundled packages that address specific production needs.

Whether you’re optimizing color workflows, setting up proofing environments, or working in screen printing, these packages are designed to fit your processes without overwhelming you with too many decisions.
