Customer testimonials

Three-time award winner

Each year, Earth Island conducts an awards event. The Solutions Awards are sponsored, in part, by Enfocus and in 2018, an Enfocus customer won the award in Solutions for Innovation. That customer is Northside Graphics Ltd from Belfast which owns DigitalPrinting.co.uk. Fast forward one year. We caught up with Jonathan Boyd, Prepress and Workflows Manager at DigitalPrinting.co.uk and had a little chat.

Homegrown to full-on automation at Printed.com

Automation gives employees more freedom to express their creativity. Especially in a communication agency, it reduces the repetitive and boring tasks and allows people to do creative work.

"Before Switch, we used a lot of static solutions, just like many other printing businesses. Files were placed in hot folders without any links to other data. Everything is now integrated into a single workflow. Every job, whether variable data is involved or not, is treated in the same way and put through the same workflow. Switch is our most important workflow. Thanks to Switch, our HP SmartStream Production Center becomes even more efficient."

Sander van Abeelen, IT specialist at Wihabo

“Anything you can imagine doing is possible, and creating workflows does not hold you back creatively!”

Emmanuel Branger, founder and director, 28.03 Le Studio

"We signed up for an automation solution that would speed up the presses. But we got so much more out of it. Our whole process of delivering on time, within tight lead times, has dramatically improved."

Richard Charnley, IT Director, NXP Europe

"Finally there is a tool that really improves our workflows! Some customers love it right away, others are convinced by the added value when we explain the benefits – even if they need to change their processes."

Uwe Bauhammer, Head of Printing, Druckerei C.H. Beck

"Before Switch the prepress team devoted 8-12 hours, on a weekly basis, to configuring the publications for print. Now it only takes a matter of minutes."

Eivind Engen, Prepress Manager, The Catholic Printery

"We are processing five to ten times as many orders thanks to the smooth workflow. That secures our profitability nowadays. For example, in the past we needed multiple desktop publishers; at this point we do not have a single one. Our well-trained order attendants are perfectly capable of doing the work flawlessly. 
Thanks to the extra orders coming in, we were able to employ more people in production and within our online branch. As a result, we did not only experience a sturdy growth in turnover, but also in the services we offer.” 

Eric Olijve, director of NetzoDruk

"We started investigating, testing, and preparing samples and quickly became convinced that Switch was the right tool for what we needed. And it has done a great job for us. It has gotten us beyond our goal of getting 80 % of the manual steps out of our workflow ,  because we have reached a 100 % within the year, without entailing an exorbitant financial investment. And we’re continuing to go further with it."

J. Saunders, Manager of Amending and Box Goods Manufacturing, William Arthur

"This really is a simple and easy-to-use solution for all our employees. You do not need any separate or locally installed PDF printer if you want to convert logs or other internal documents into a PDF."

Ingo Köhler, IT Operations, HUK-COBURG

The new workflow incorporates Enfocus Switch and PitStop Server to automate file retrieval from a wide range of sources
