Lower Touch. Higher Profit.
KODAK INSITE: Taking Out Touches and Putting Back Profits
The transition to digital printing can sometimes catch print service providers off-guard, since instead of a few jobs to traffic per day, a digital program is often dealing with dozens if not hundreds of jobs at a time. Without the proper workflow automation, digital print margins can become easily affected by manual submission errors, shorter print windows due to physical pre press and proofing processes, poor scheduling or pricing yourself out of an opportunity. In this environment, reducing the times a job is touched — by CSRs (Customer Service Reps), prepress operators, press operators — becomes a key lever for both quality and profitability.
KODAK INSITE Web-to-print portals work in conjunction with the Kodak NexPress digital color production press to reduce manual touches and “hot folder proliferation” using:
- Integrated Kodak NexPress job ticketing within Kodak Prinergy using JDF Workflow Planner
- Automatic mapping of customer intent into job ticket parameters using Kodak Prinergy’s rules-based automation
The watchword for Kodak’s technology team is “zero touch automation” — working to eliminate unnecessary job handling and reduce the time from job submission to delivery. Kodak InSite Web-to-print integration with the NexPress allows jobs to be submitted by a client through the Web, approved by a CSR, then processed through output without additional human intervention. This streamlined workflow translates into faster production, reduced error and lower cost. 
KODAK INSITE also delivers another major competitive benefit for the print service provider. Increasingly, customers are looking for printer’s who can help them better balance their complete print portfolio, including jobs applicable to both conventional and digital presses. Instead of presenting “offset or digital”, the real demand is for “offset and digital.” The KODAK INSITE suite can help you seamlessly integrate both digital and conventional workflows, creating a true, unified print service offering.
