Increased job throughput, better print quality and more profitability continue to be the goals for print service providers in the coming year. More incoming orders with smaller print runs in tighter windows require the adaptation to automated processes. The decisive factor here is a perfect interaction between software and hardware.

At the EFI Connect from 22-25 January 2019 in Las Vegas, OneVision Software (Stand 103), one of the leading manufacturers of prepress automation solutions, will demonstrate how commercial, label, book as well as wide format printers can streamline their production processes with proven prepress and workflow software.

Automated prepress workflow for smooth printing process

With OneVision Software print production processes can be automated. Automation tools that solve typical manual work steps in the prepress stage are tied into an extremely flexible and easy-to-use workflow management system. In addition to software for individual process steps such as preflighting, flattening transparencies, PDF normalization, color management, impositioning, the automatic creation of bleed and varnish masks and much more, OneVision Software offers holistic software suites that automate the entire production of book printers, label converters and wide format printers. The suites offer innovative functions such as nesting, tiling and paneling, a cut line manager, automated calculation of spine thickness, the creation of barcodes, automatic design of die-cuts or laser cutting configurations and many other highlights, specially designed for the requirements of label, book and wide format printers. The result: faster turnaround, a relieved RIP and more throughput.

Session on increasing profitability with prepress and workflow automation

In the course of the session ‘How prepress and workflow automation software increases job throughput, print quality and profitability,’ the software will be put into life and demonstrate how printers can make their workflow more efficient and benefit from increased job throughput, print quality and profitability. The session, scheduled for 23 January 2019, will also give insights on how to set up, standardize, automate and control print production process easily with OneVision’s workflow management system and show how time-consuming manual steps in prepress can be automated.

EFI Connect is the global, annual EFI user’s conference. Educational breakout sessions, industry- relevant keynote speakers and various networking opportunities make it one of the leading conferences in the printing industry.

2023 promises an interesting ride for print in India

Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. While the print and packaging industries have been resilient in the past 33 months since the pandemic lockdown of 25 March 2020, the commercial printing and newspaper industries have yet to recover their pre-Covid trajectory.

The fragmented commercial printing industry faces substantial challenges as does the newspaper industry. While digital short-run printing and the signage industry seem to be recovering a bit faster, ultimately their growth will also be moderated by the progress of the overall economy. On the other hand book printing exports are doing well but they too face several supply-chain and logistics challenges.

The price of publication papers including newsprint has been high in the past year while availability is diminished by several mills shutting down their publication paper and newsprint machines in the past four years. Indian paper mills are also exporting many types of paper and have raised prices for Indian printers. To some extent, this has helped in the recovery of the digital printing industry with its on-demand short-run and low-wastage paradigm.

Ultimately digital print and other digital channels will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future. For instance, there is no alternative to a rise in textbook consumption but this segment will only reach normality in the next financial year beginning on 1 April 2023.

Thus while the new normal is a moving target and many commercial printers look to diversification, we believe that our target audiences may shift and change. Like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.

Our 2023 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock and reconnect with your potential markets and customers. Print is the glue for the growth of liberal education, new industry, and an emerging economy. We seek your participation in what promises to be an interesting ride.
