Drukservice Impressa: advanced automation and innovation with MultiPress

The fast-growing printing company Impressa from Herentals stays one step ahead of the competition time and again. That is why this printing company, specialised in digital and offset printing, invested in new printing technologies and machines, for example the SCREEN Truepress JET L350UV SAI S, and automation of their production workflow. They also transfer their high expectations and vision for innovation and quality to their suppliers. Dataline, the developer of the ERP/MIS software MultiPress, carries those same values in its DNA and is therefore a perfect match to support their mission.

Automation with MultiPress

Printing Service Impressa's has a clear mission: to automate as many parts of their administrative and production workflow as possible, which forced them to look for a suitable business software provider. Their search led them past CERM, EFI Technique and Print+, all software packages that certainly provided added value, but due to slow development did not meet all of Printerservice Impressa's requirements. Via those packages, they found the ERP/MIS software MultiPress a few years ago.

The company greatly appreciated the fact that an entire team of Business Developers and Application Support employees are a call  away for them day in and day out, so they are not dependent on one contact person. MultiPress also reveals working points and provides a clear overview of the company's organisation.

The biggest advantage? The high degree of automation possible with the ERP/MIS software MultiPress. The convenient modular architecture of the software allows Printing Service Impressa to automate most of the workflow gradually, using modules such as the Calculation Wizard, Workflow Optimisation for prepress, production and finishing and the Web Customer Portal.

Moreover, MultiPress has an integration with various partners, such as Agfa, KBA, Screen Europe, etc., allowing software and hardware systems to be connected and automatically exchange data. This makes the entire administrative process even more efficient, with an error rate reduced to almost zero.

New digital label press from SCREEN

Due to the many possibilities to access order information within MultiPress with a few mouse clicks, Printing Service Impressa knew they had room for innovations. With the installation of the SCREEN Truepress JET L350UV SAI S, a digital label press, the printing company aims to expand their range in digital label printing.

The SCREEN Truepress JET L350UV SAI S is suitable for producing high-quality and durable labels and packaging materials. With UV inks that cure quickly, the machine can print at high resolution, allowing it to produce labels with colourful designs and sharp graphics. It is also designed to handle materials of different thicknesses and sizes, making it flexible in production options.

Tom Bongaerts, CEO of Printing Service Impressa explains: "We invest in digital inkjet technology because it allows us to produce small to medium runs quickly, which is crucial for our customers, including those in the food industry. We wanted to expand our production from cut paper labels and product wrappers to self-adhesive labels on rolls."

Using the link between the Screen press and the ERP/MIS MultiPress, print files of a label in MultiPress can be sent correctly and print-ready to the digital press, without further intervention from prepress or other software.

For production and the corresponding administration, the printing company thus relies on the ERP/MIS software MultiPress, which ensures smooth coordination between administration, printing machines and finishing equipment.
