Baur Offset, based in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, offers a mix of commercial and packaging printing via both offset and digital print methods. The company has recently invested in Fujifilm’s workflow solution – XMF PressReady, following a successful three month beta trial.
Fujifilm’s XMF PressReady is a digital print production workflow system that helps to manage print jobs from multiple sources – such as web-to-print and MIS systems or PDF files supplied by customers – and directs them to an appropriate digital press. It also allows print service providers to automate ordinary and repetitive tasks, enabling press operators to focus on more important aspects of the production process.
Dirk Wöbcke, Managing Director, Baur Offset, comments, “XMF PressReady has helped tremendously with automating our business. Aside from the obvious benefits of automating this process, the way it is able to group and sort jobs was also a key benefit. After creating the workflow once, which was very user friendly and intuitive to use, the jobs are created each time by PressReady automatically and sent straight to the printer. This has resulted in significant time savings, giving us more time to work on other tasks, such as more complex print jobs. Overall, the investment has resulted in 30-50% time saving per job, 30-50% cost saving per job and 15-20% more time for new and other jobs. We are really pleased with how it has benefitted our business.”
