You can do this with both iQue (140) and Autoflow (PC). The Autoflow works
on hot folder basis. You need to send the output to a printer que (desktop
printer on Mac). iQue 140 does the same but I haven't had a chance to work
with it in-depth. iQue 140 has some added features which allow 16bit bitmap
file processing and the ability to select which CMM you want to use, and my
favorite, device link profiles. Too much software, not enough time!
