A web-based dashboard for your daily production figures such as print job statistics and productivity. Monitoring of the current status of the printing system and critical issues prevent downtime and enable faster reaction times for trouble shooting and support.
SOFTWARE FEATURES
PRECISE INK COST ANALYSIS
When print data is uploaded, a complete check and normalization of the data, as well as an exact calculation of ink consumption for the print file, is carried out. The configuration can be done by the user. Whether the production is cheaper only with CMYK, or by using additional process colors, can be calculated immediately.
EXACT COLOR RENDITION
Using material-specific or customer-specific colors, Durst Workflow Label always ensures perfect reproduction also of standardized colors.
HIGH-SPEED RIPPING
Latest improvements have increased the rip speed, especially for heavy variable data jobs. The Harlequin Host Renderer, which is now included with every Durst Workflow Label solution, reduces the ripping time tremendously. In addition, a high-performance workstation with 12 cores further improves the performance.
DURST ANALYTICS
By generating statistics for a defined period, the user can also identify opportunities in the internal workflow to make further improvements in process efficiency.
GRID CHART & COLORBOOK
Spot colors can be set to a specific system, substrate, customer or just a print item to allow easy management of spot colors and specific optimization. With a Grid Chart, all spot colors can be adjusted to fit requirements of your customer. Color books, including all Pantone colors, can be printed by the operator directly out of the Durst Workflow Label.
COLOR MATCHING ON DEMAND
You can automatically adjust any defined spot color using a photospectrometer to ensure a best possible match to your existing proof.
