PixelPanda + Kodak Prinergy

AI image steps inside Prinergy RBA

Prinergy's Rules-Based Automation can launch external processes as part of any rule chain. That makes adding AI image processing a one-script job: RBA hands the file to the script, the script calls the PixelPanda API, and the processed image drops back into the job before refine or output.

How the Integration Works

No plugin required — Kodak Prinergy hands the image to a small script via a Rules-Based Automation external process, the script calls the PixelPanda REST API, and the processed file continues through your workflow.

Four Steps to Set Up

Add an Execute Process action

In Rule Set Manager, add an action that launches the sample script with the file path as a parameter.

Install the script

Copy the script to the Prinergy server (or any reachable host) and set your PixelPanda API key.

Chain the result

Write the output into a watched folder or back into the job's input area so the next rule continues processing.

Repeat per operation

Duplicate the rule with a different endpoint for upscaling, text removal or enhancement.

Sample Script

A working starting point — swap the endpoint for /api/v1/upscale, /api/v1/remove-text or /api/v2/enhance to change the operation. Full request and response formats are in the API documentation.

What Print Teams Use It For

Commercial job intake

Every supplied image gets enhanced and upscaled during job onboarding, before refine.

Catalog and flyer work

Automatic background removal keeps product imagery consistent across pages.

Reprints of legacy jobs

Upscale old low-resolution assets instead of chasing customers for new files.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PixelPanda integrate with Kodak Prinergy?

Through a Rules-Based Automation external process: a small script uploads the image to the PixelPanda REST API and writes the processed result back into the workflow. No plugin needs to be installed in Kodak Prinergy itself.

What operations are available?

Background removal (transparent PNG), 2x/4x/8x AI upscaling, text removal and photo enhancement — plus generation endpoints (product scenes, try-on, avatars, UGC video) via the same API.

What does it cost?

The integration pattern is free; processing spends PixelPanda credits — most operations cost 1 credit per image. Accounts start free.

Where do I get an API key?

Create an account at pixelpanda.ai, open your Profile and copy the key under API Token (it starts with pk_live_).

Do you have native apps for other print platforms?

Yes — free Enfocus Switch Appstore apps and Fiery JobFlow Connect Packages, plus Zapier, Make and n8n integrations.
