Durst has signed a deal that will see it use the PrintFactory API to provide better workflow to those in mixed print environments.
PrintFactory’s Rip-based software suite supports over 2,000 printers and cutters, and delivers an editor, calibrator, and layout tools alongside the API-integrated Rip.
Michael Deflorian, business development manager Durst professional services, said: “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.”
Erik Strik, CEO of Aurelon (the team behind PrintFactory), said: “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 color consistency, but also in reducing ink and media costs.”
