Job ganging app from PerfectPattern

PerfectPattern has developed Web-based EasyApps that calculate optimal ganging layouts. The company said the apps “calculate in seconds cost-optimised gang forms in large-format and offset printing”.

The apps are accessible through the on PerfectPattern’s website: http://easy-apps.perfectpattern.de/EasyApps/Desk/?lan=EN. After registration, users can import the data from their print jobs in a .csv format (e.g. from Microsoft Excel). Calculation can be started as soon as the setup data is specified. An EasyApps report indicates the amount of material required and the size of the sheets. The sheet layouts for the entire job pool and the total costs for material and printing are also shown. Each calculation results in a JDF file that contains the necessary information, which can be transferred to familiar workflow systems As part of the EasyApps introduction they can be used free of charge until 31 October 2017.
