DURST WORKFLOW

Durst Workflow is a browser-based application that handles prepress and production tasks fully automatically. Thanks to preconfigured corrections, data preparation is fast and efficient, and the integrated, powerful Color Engine guarantees outstanding color accuracy right from the start.

Automate your prepress and production tasks from data preparation to printing with Durst Workflow.

COLOR ACCURACY

Durst Workflow was originally developed to guarantee exceptional printing quality and sensational color management for Durst printers. Now available for non-Durst printers, it enables the high expectations of end customers to be met.

BROWSER BASED

Durst Workflow is a browser-based software: you don’t need any additional application to work on it, only a web browser and an internet connection.

PROCESSING SPEED AND COMPLETE PROCESS

Upload, verify, correct and generate print predictable PDF files in a one smooth automatic process. You can integrate these functions with your ERP/MIS solution to bring productivity to an even higher level.

VERSIONING

Every time a change is made to the print item, a new version is created in Durst Workflow, so that the latest version is always being worked on. Every job that has been transferred to the printer is saved with all the settings used and can be produced again removing the chance of making any mistake.

REAL-TIME PRODUCTION DASHBOARD

With Durst Workflow is easy to know which jobs are to be produced.

When a print file is prepared for production, its status is changed accordingly so that the production department knows that the job can be used. The production department can then apply filters according to the due date, so that only the relevant jobs are displayed.

USER MANAGEMENT

The detailed user management allows different departments to have access to the workflow, all of them with specific access to predefined areas to facilitate consistent cooperation avoiding any kind of confusion.

Durst Workflow is built for ease of use, featuring an intuitive interface that streamlines operations with minimal training required. Our solution ensures that anyone can get up to speed quickly - boosting efficiency, reducing onboarding time, and keeping your production running smoothly.

A new PDF editing software has been specifically developed for the printing industry to optimize prepress and production processes. With this editor, common print data errors can be corrected, and thanks to its direct integration into the Durst Workflow, updates are applied immediately.

With the help of Grid Charts, spot colors can be printed with defined deviations and precisely matched. If your customer has decided on a color definition, this can be stored in the Workflow. This color definition can be saved to the customer or to a special material. After uploading a print item the spot color will be changed automatically to the saved color definition.

Durst Workflow makes it possible to save ink with just a few clicks, by simply selecting one of the predefined ink saving profiles. For each of these ink save profiles, an algorithm is applied that reduces the amount of cyan, magenta, and yellow by optimizing the black composition, allowing to save up to 30% on ink consumption.

Process automation is a key aspect of production. With the so-called “Automators”, we provide the ability to automate process steps in the prepress and production preparation phases. For example, if the status of a print job does not meet the requirements, the user will receive a notification to make a decision – either continue the automatic process or intervene manually. This type of automation can be achieved without integration into a leading system (ERP, MIS).

Durst Workflow enables the automation of prepress tasks such as adding the missing 5mm bleed around the print item, a dieline and the necessary marks for grommets to create a print-ready file. Built-in data corrections address approximately 85% of typical print industry errors, and all necessary adjustments can be made with just a few clicks. All available corrections can be combined in so-called correction chains and saved with user-defined values. These chains can then be triggered manually or automatically.

One of the available imposition modes is Nesting. This rule-based impose mode allows users to fill rolls or sheets with print elements, resulting in single or multi-page layouts. An additional algorithm ensures even more efficient use of media, resulting in media savings of up to 20%.

When you receive jobs with different shapes, Durst Workflow allows you to impose them in the most efficient way. Several settings are available to achieve the best possible result. Save them as templates - one step closer to a more automated way of nesting shapes.

To ensure seamless integration of all systems, Durst Workflow provides a REST API interface. This allows a leading system, such as an ERP, MIS or e-commerce solution, to delegate tasks to the workflow and receive the desired feedback back to the leading system.

Once a tiling is created and saved, the user can generate a Tiling Instruction Report, which can also serve as an installation guide. The overview page displays a preview of all the tiles with key information. The following pages provide detailed installation parameters for each tile.

Once a nesting has been saved, the user has access to the ability to generate an Impose Report. The report includes an overview page as well as a detail page for each imposition sheet, listing all print elements that are part of the imposition. This feature provides a detailed overview of each imposition and can be considered as tailored to the needs of finishing department.

The approval process with end customers is often one of the most time-consuming steps prior to production, as it typically involves lengthy email exchanges and significant time spent creating approval documents. With Durst Workflow, however, an approval report can be generated and customized with just a few clicks. In addition, an approval portal is available, to which Durst Workflow automatically submits the items for approval and sends an email to the end user notifying them that the data needs to be approved. This reduces the approval process to a few clicks.

You can choose the rendering settings that work best for your production.
You can send up to four jobs to the printer simultaneously. Or you can split a single job across all available cores for faster rendering.

Durst Workflow Label is designed for ease of use, with an intuitive interface that streamlines operations with minimal training. Our solution ensures that everyone can get up to speed quickly - increasing efficiency, reducing training time, and keeping your production running smoothly.

For each of these profiles, an algorithm is applied that reduces the amount of cyan, magenta and yellow by optimizing the black composition, allowing up to 30% ink savings.

Durst Workflow enables the automation of prepress tasks, such as adding a white background - depending on the total ink consumption - for production on transparent substrates to save ink. The integrated data corrections address about 85% of the typical errors in the printing industry, and all the necessary adjustments can be made with just a few clicks. All available corrections can be combined in so-called correction chains and saved with user-defined values. These chains can then be triggered manually or automatically.

Variable data plays an important role in label production and is often created using additional software products. In order to avoid system interruptions, Durst Workflow includes an integrated VDP editor. This editor can be used to create variable elements such as barcodes, text, serial numbers, images and more, with specific settings available for each element.

Amazon Transparency is a product serialization service that helps identify products and proactively prevent your customers from receiving counterfeit items. To obtain these Amazon Transparency codes, a connection to the Transparency server must be established and a defined number of variables returned. This connection is made automatically by Workflow, provided the user has the necessary access rights to the Transparency server. The variables returned are then converted and can be used in the VDP Editor to generate codes.

In Durst Workflow, print jobs can be uploaded and stored in a variety of ways.
An order can contain all customer-related information, while a production job can contain all relevant production data. If a customer wants a reprint, the file does not have to be uploaded again; the job is still available in the workflow with all the parameters used and can be reprinted with a single click.

Durst Workflow allows users to upload, manage and apply One-Ups and N-Ups. Instead of uploading a CAD One-Up file, users can create, save and use shapes such as circles, ovals, rectangles and squares with specific parameters within Workflow. This reduces the time and effort required to create One-Ups and N-Ups. It also allows these shapes to be automatically applied to production jobs without manual intervention.

Step & Repeat is one of the available imposition modes in Durst Workflow and offers users numerous settings to implement the required arrangements or additions. For recurring impositions, such as 3x3 or 2x3 with the same parameters, templates can be saved. This allows Step & Repeat to be triggered in just a few steps, either partially or fully automatically via integration.

Accurate color reproduction is critical in production, which is why substrate profiles are necessary. Durst Workflow guides you step-by-step through the process of creating a profile using default settings. Advanced settings are also available, allowing you to apply your color expertise. In addition, the integrated Gamut Viewer allows you to compare and validate your profile against an ISO standard or another profile.

It is possible to generate a spot color report for all spot colors in a print job. A threshold for the ∆E value can be set for this report, allowing the user to identify color values that are out of gamut. This report can be used internally or shared with end users.
