DURST SOFTWARE LABEL

Tau printers are equipped with Durst Workflow Label, prepress and production software, and Durst Analytics, analytics and monitoring tool, right from the start. This makes the printer a production unit from day one. Durst also offers Durst Smart Shop, a scalable solution for integrating e-commerce activities, whether it's B2C or B2B.

All Durst software solutions are modular and can be easily managed through a web-based user interface.

Durst Workflow Label

Durst Workflow Label is a browser-based software solution for prepress and production.

Simple data management, combined with proved color management and ripping, takes the productivity of the TAU printer to a new level. The software enables easy management of short runs and just-in-time production, along with variable data printing tools for faster personalized job production. With customizable corrections, advanced color matching, and integration with ERP/MIS systems, Durst Workflow is designed to accelerate job preparation and streamlines operations.

Features:

• Accurate 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. Users can easily configure the settings and instantly determine if using CMYK alone or additional process colors would be more cost-effective.

• Recurring Tasks Automation

  Durst Workflow Label automates repetitive tasks and settings to save time and minimize errors. Users can create fixup chains and production templates, assigning them to hot folders or integrating them into their production planning system.

• Precise Color Reproduction

  Ensuring consistent and accurate color reproduction is effortless with Durst Workflow Label. Colors can be captured from proofs, and precise color selection is enabled through grid charts and color books, which can be saved and applied to specific materials or customers for streamlined production.

• High Speed Ripping

  Recent enhancements have significantly improved rip speed, especially for variable data jobs. The inclusion of the Harlequin Host Renderer and a high-performance workstation with 12 cores further boost the software's performance.

• Optimized Ink Usage

  Durst Workflow's Ink Save module optimizes ink consumption by dynamically adjusting the ink usage across all colors in your printer. By compensating with black ink, it achieves an optimal reduction in total ink consumption while maintaining a great color accuracy. In addition, Durst Workflow eliminates unnecessary graphics around the label, limiting the bleed to what is needed.

• Efficient Variable Data Creation

  The integrated VDP Editor within Durst Workflow Label streamlines the creation of variable data.
