Abstract
A system and computer program configures a prepress workflow. A prepress memory manager is loaded on a local computer as a result of a user input such that a graphical user interface is displayed. A prepress system design palette and modules toolbar have module icons representing different prepress hardware and/or software distributed object modules that can be potentially used in a prepress workflow operation. Module icons are dragged and represent the desired prepress hardware and/or software distributed object modules to be used in a prepress workflow from the module toolbar into the prepress system design palette and then linked based on user input in the order which represents how the prepress workflow proceeds along the selected hardware and/or distributed object modules.
