For Neo/Eastern Press, a leading commercial print company in Melbourne, Australia, choosing the right workflow software was key to staying competitive. With nearly 100 years of industry experience, the team knew they needed a system that could handle both offset and digital printing, integrate with their existing MIS, and come from a trusted long-term partner.
Neo/Eastern Press uses Prinect Production Manager from HEIDELBERG to power a fully integrated workflow, supporting UV offset, B2 digital presses, and in-house embellishments. This setup enables the team to handle increasing demands like shorter runs, faster turnarounds, and rising production costs—while improving quality and efficiency across the board.
“When we were looking for a workflow system, there were a few key boxes we needed to tick. It had to support both offset and digital production, integrate smoothly with our MIS, and most importantly, be backed by a partner we could trust long-term and work closely with.
While there were several strong systems out there that met the technical requirements, finding a true business partner was the harder part. For us, HEIDELBERG was the obvious choice. Our family has worked with HEIDELBERG for close to 100 years, so choosing Prinect felt like a natural next step in that relationship.
We knew HEIDELBERG shared the same forward-thinking approach we value at Neo, and having strong support from leaders (within the HEIDELBERG Australia team) made the decision even easier.
Today’s print industry faces growing pressure—shorter runs, tighter deadlines, higher costs, and increased competition. That’s why it’s more important than ever to streamline production and make every part of the process as efficient as possible.”
