Permapack flexible packaging managing director Markus Wirth said: "We were looking for a solution to cope with the rapid growth in the number of smaller, shorter-run jobs being produced with the digital printing technologies we invested in last year.
“As we had been using ArtPro, Nexus and a CDI Spark 4835 platesetter with inline UV for some time, augmenting our infrastructure with a solution from Esko was virtually automatic.”
Automation Engine is a modular workflow server that automates all projects and processes in prepress.
The platform enables printing professionals to address the daily challenges by enhancing the quality, reducing the likelihood of errors and lowering process costs. It can be incorporated into any business system.
