Overview
More jobs: the gift that keeps taking.
An increase in digital print jobs is good news until you consider the steps involved to get each file production-ready. Managing all that work manually is even more challenging as our skilled labor force shrinks. Process automation is the only way to complete essential file optimization and preparation tasks across dozens-if not hundreds-of jobs per day.
