PrintFactory announces key partnership with Durst

PrintFactory announces a key partnership allowing Durst to access PrintFactory’s application programming interface (API) to provide customers in mixed print environments with superior workflow software.

PrintFactory is workflow software for wide format printers. It delivers the highest quality, consistent colour to every device, anywhere, with manual control over smart technology’s RIP-based software which connects multi-manufacturer environments seamlessly. Its suite of workflow software supports over 2,000 printers and cutters, and delivers an Editor, Calibrator, and premium Layout tool alongside the API-integrated RIP.

The partnership between Durst and PrintFactory delivers a tight integration between the workflow products. This means more customers can choose Durst printers to work alongside their existing devices – there’s no need to manage print jobs via different systems. The Durst software ECO system digitises the e-commerce, prepress and print process. All products offer a browser based interface for maximum flexibility and an interface to share data with other software solutions. 

“This is a great partnership for us as it confirms our focus on colour quality is the right direction. With PrintFactory’s VISU colour engine as a part of the workflow, Durst operators can be confident of not only reducing the time spent achieving colour consistency, but also in reducing ink and media costs,” says Erik Strik, CEO of Aurelon (the team behind PrintFactory, who are printers themselves).

We’ve been looking for workflow-based software that has a robust, scalable API and allows Durst Workflow users to drive printers of other manufacturers with the same software – it’s not just about having a smooth workflow, it’s about finding affordable software and hardware that can support a growing business. Our customers choose Durst for the long-term. Software that we recommend has to deliver on a promise of quality and reliability, and PrintFactory meets that criteria,” adds Michael Deflorian, Business Development Manager, Durst Professional Services.

In general, PrintFactory software is delivered via a network of distributors, worldwide: it delivers on increased productivity, guarantees lower ink costs with no detriment to print quality, improves margins thanks to reduced waste media, and ensures consistent colour, time after time. The company’s partnerships with device manufacturers bodes well for not only standard markets, but also for industrial scale operations.
