Prinect S - Small Workflow with a Big Impact
Smaller print shops can now hand over time-consuming tasks to
Prinect S. This compact integration solution simplifies and speeds
up print production and paves the way for innovative business
models. Eggers Druck & Verlag GmbH in Heiligenhafen shows how
it works.
When the Suprasetter peeps, Olaf Eggers removes the imaged plates from the cassette and beams proudly. "We now have an automated process for turning orders into printing plates - and we can do so at the click of a mouse," says the Managing Director of Eggers Druck & Verlag GmbH. The commercial print shop in Heiligenhafen, with a workforce of 27, really came into its own in fall 2010 thanks to the Prinect S print shop workflow from Heidelberg.
A quick look in the pressroom, where business and commercial print products in a range of corporate designs are stacking up, reveals why this is the case. "We specialize in customer-specific solutions, offering services that are not covered by system printers," says Eggers. This includes, above all, commercial print products involving special formats, paper grades, inks and surface finishes. However, Eggers - who represents the fourth generation of this family-run business - is not satisfied with just standing out from the crowd. He wants the company to be the market and technology leader. "To offer competitive prices, we need to extensively automate our special solutions and, where possible, offer online services," he explains.
Compact and clever. That is why he equipped two workstations with the new workflow software. Prinect S is installed on a single hardware platform and combines prepress and press. The solution includes Prepress Manager S and Pressroom Manager. "Prinect S is ideal for small print shops like us. It is compact, easy to operate and quick to install," says Eggers when asked why the company opted for this solution. Previously, the company used the RIP software Prinect MetaDimension and print shop software that was developed in cooperation with an IT company and ran on various computers. "The new all-in-one solution is far more efficient. It simplifies and speeds up prepress because all the information and functions are located in a single system," says Eggers.
