Xerox® FreeFlow® Core
Simply Streamline
Eliminate repetitive, time consuming, costly manual processes that bog down print operations with the industry’s most flexible and easy-to-use prepress software.
Manual processes take more time—and reduce potential profit—bogging down your print operation.
Xerox® FreeFlow® Core eliminates time-consuming manual tasks, helping to get jobs done in a fraction of the usual time with automated, rules-based intelligence and super-efficient touchless workflows.
“FreeFlow Core has converted a multi-hour, error prone file processing step into a two-step, drag and drop process that provides all the automation and success verification we, and our customers need.”
David Gardner, Digital Print Manager, Alphagraphics of Sandy, UT

John Taylor, President, Minuteman Press of Nashville, TN
Automatic savings: Let’s do the math
FreeFlow® Core® automation can add up to some serious savings. Each of the examples below are based on data published in InfoTrends 2019 WE and NA Production Software Investment Outlook and assume an average of 400 jobs per month:
$80K Monthly savings just by REMOVING WASTE
$11,320 Monthly savings just by AUTOMATING IMPOSITION
$10,425 Monthly savings just by leveraging ELECTRONIC PROOFING
It’s easy to see how FreeFlow® Core can free up valuable hours so they can be spent on higher-value, revenue-driving outreach and sales.
Contact your Xerox Rep for more information on how these numbers were derived, and see how they’ll add up for you!
“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.”
Dan Berchtold, Graphic Designer, PIP of Peioria, IL
