Signa Station does not live in a vacuum. The 2021 Hot version integrates seamlessly with the wider Prinect Production Manager 2021.

Heidelberg’s Prinect workflow is entirely JDF-based. Signa Station 2021 speaks fluent JDF 1.6. This means it seamlessly talks to a Prinect Press Center 2.0 or a third-party MIS. When the MIS sends an order, the imposition is generated "hot" (live) without queuing.
The 2021 version introduces "Ganging for segments with Finishing," a specialized project-based functionality that factors in post-press requirements when positioning jobs on a ganged sheet. For label production, the Nesting Wizard now includes a "Multi Sheet Layout" function (as of version 2021.10) to automatically split 1ups across multiple press sheets.
