Why customers switch to PrintFactory

20-30%

Average ink saving stated for EcoSave

Company
PrintFactory
What was measured
The manufacturer states an average ink saving of 20–30% from smart profile creation across multiple devices and substrates.
EcoSave™ Ink Saving Technology

This is a manufacturer-stated average, not an independent benchmark. Actual savings depend on the printer, ink set, substrate, profiles, artwork, and production process.

25%

Productivity increase in the Moti Digital case study

Company
Moti Digital
What was measured
The published PrintFactory case study reports a 25% productivity boost after introducing consistent color across multiple devices.
Consistent Color — Moti Digital case study

The public case study does not disclose a measurement method or full baseline. Results depend on equipment, substrates, job mix, staffing, and the production process.

<10 min

Device-link profile creation time in the Signtech case study

Company
Signtech
What was measured
The case study says Signtech could create device-link profiles in under 10 minutes and increased production capacity by more than 25%.
Device-Link White Paper — Signtech case study

This is a result from a published PrintFactory case study. Profiling time depends on the printer, media, measuring instrument, settings, operator, and production process.

4 jobs

Simultaneous RIP and print jobs stated by PrintFactory

Company
PrintFactory
What was measured
The manufacturer’s guide states that PrintFactory can RIP and print four jobs simultaneously on like-for-like platforms.
10 Reasons Why PrintFactory — EMEA

This is a vendor capability statement, not an independent performance test. Throughput depends on hardware, file complexity, device configuration, network, and production conditions.

Reduce ink usage without sacrificing color quality

PrintFactory combines calibration, profile control, and smarter print workflows to reduce over-inking and stabilize output. Instead of compensating with extra ink to stay safe, operators can hit target color with less waste.

  • Optimize ink use while maintaining target color
  • Reduce over-inking and unnecessary coverage
  • Lower waste caused by inconsistent output and reprints
  • Standardize color across printers, media, and locations
Use the sourced EcoSave figure as a reference, then measure ink consumption on your own printer, ink set, substrate, profile, and representative jobs.

Shorten the path from incoming artwork to final print

PrintFactory reduces manual prepress handling, speeds up RIP activity, and makes it easier to move jobs between devices. That saves operator time and removes bottlenecks before production starts.

  • Faster file preparation for prepress teams
  • Quicker movement of jobs between printers
  • Smarter nesting and job preparation before output
  • Less operator time spent fixing repeat issues
  • Faster RIP workflows and parallel processing
Customer stories describe major improvements in prepress speed, job preparation, profiling time, nesting, and daily production throughput.

From manual correction to repeatable production

These are the operational changes teams can assess during a trial and implementation.

Before PrintFactory

  • Manual color correction on each device
  • Repeated configuration for each printer and media
  • Slow prepress handling and job switching
  • Inconsistent results across machines and locations
  • More trial-and-error, waste, and reprints

After PrintFactory

  • Centralized color management and repeatable output
  • Standardized settings across devices and sites
  • Faster file preparation and easier job routing
  • Smarter automation and nesting before print
  • Lower waste with more predictable production

What real PrintFactory customers report

Use these examples to compare the expected operational gains with your own workflow, devices, and production goals.

The published PrintFactory case study reports a 25% productivity boost after introducing consistent color across multiple devices.

What was measured: Productivity after standardizing color output across multiple devices; the public page does not provide the full calculation method.

Result from a published PrintFactory case study. Actual results depend on equipment, materials, job mix, staffing, and production process.

The Device-Link White Paper reports more than 25% additional production capacity and device-link profile creation in under 10 minutes.

What was measured: Production capacity and device-link profile creation time after PrintFactory implementation.

Result from a published PrintFactory case study. Profiling time and capacity gains depend on equipment, media, measurement tools, operators, and production process.

The published case study reports a 25% production increase, major prepress time savings, and easier transfer of jobs between different printers.

What was measured: Production output and prepress handling after color calibration across a mixed printer fleet.

Result from a published PrintFactory case study. The public page does not provide the complete baseline; outcomes depend on equipment, materials, jobs, and production process.

Estimate the potential monthly benefit

Even small improvements in ink consumption and operator time can create meaningful savings. Use your own production figures to estimate cost reduction and payback.

Example: if a customer spends EUR 4,000 per month on ink and reduces usage by 20%, that alone is EUR 800 saved monthly before labor gains are included.
