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

"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

“Our new Switch-based workflow manages the entire production cycle, enabling us to reduce errors and standardize procedures. The result is a reduction in the cost and time needed to produce work, fewer errors, and happier customers.”

Caio Guardigli, Prepress Director

“I select my CMYK-Connector for the layout of the Lotje & Co magazine. Therefore, I do not have to enter the profiles each time. All settings (for example, transparency flattening) are automatically captured. I can rely on technology knowing nothing will get lost and in the end profiles are perfectly fine.”

Ineke Hulbregtse, Studio IH, The Netherlands

“Enfocus Switch has allowed us to create flow processes which automatically guarantee a certain level of consistency and precision whilst being sufficiently flexible to adapt to our company’s new operational needs, as and when they develop. It has enabled us to automate the organisational side of our processes in a secure manner, guaranteeing the level of quality and control. This resulted into a considerable amount of time that got freed up, which in turn translated into an increase in productivity.”

Thomas Marchal – Manufacturing Department

"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
