Four Businesses - One Workflow: Prinect
Prinect is used by Color-Offset GmbH in Munich to connect four
different business sectors, thereby enabling considerable savings
to be made across the entire production process.
Offset printing is the real core business at Color-Offset GmbH. In order to be able to take on additional jobs in prepress, digital printing and finishing without posing a financial risk for the core business, three legally independent businesses were set up - ColorMedienservice, ColorPress and ColorFalz. In Prinect, Color-Offset found the best workflow management solution in Prinect, which ensures the economical co-operation of all areas of production.
"Prinect provides a continuity that is perfectly suited to our workflow," says an enthusiastic Michael Grüll, manager of the prepress service provider ColorMedienservice. "Even if a job is started in Color-Offset GmbH, it can still be completely processed in a single run - from prepress right through to finishing - thanks to the cross-linkage of data via Prinect. Thus, the workflow is made considerably faster and easier."
Perfect interaction in Production
Prinect links the interfaces between the individual stages of production with optimal functionality. Job management at Color-Offset GmbH is undertaken initially by the component Prinect Data Control . All job-specific data is archived centrally, integrated into production planning and directly relayed to the printing machines online, using Job Definition Format and DeltaTechnology. Prinect Prepress Interface , Prinect Auto Register are used in the printing hall.
Into the future with Prinect
For Peter Wagstyl, one of the two managers of Offset-Color GmbH, the optimization potential to be achieved by using these components has not yet been exhausted. In the future, the business aims to produce faster and more economically in finishing through the use of Compucut . "The business could achieve a real value surplus in this very labor-intensive area if the parameters for folding and cutting were entered during the impositioning stage on the Prinect Signa Station

"The business could achieve a real value surplus in this very labor-intensive area if the parameters for folding and cutting were entered during the impositioning stage on the Prinect Signa Station
(JDF). Efficient job-planning makes for smooth job-processing and
allows great savings to be made in setup times and presetting of
machines. In prepress, Color-Offset GmbH relies on the Prinect
modules Jetbase,
Prinect Signa Station ,
Prinect Image Control and
Compufold
and the
Prinect CP2000 Center . Then,
nothing would have to be programmed separately in finishing and the
process would be completely optimized."
