Enfocus has announced the integration of Switch with InSoft Automation’s imposition and layout software Imp. To support the integration, InSoft released the Imp XML Bundle app in the Enfocus Appstore. The Imp XML Bundle includes two apps, Imp XML Creator app and the Imp XML Merger app. Both apps act as a bridge between Enfocus Switch and Imp Flow to automate ganging, imposition for offset, digital and large format printing without any touch points.
InSoft Automation is an Indian software development company. It has roots in CAD/CAM software for the manufacturing industry, which has since been hived off into another company. Seeing some synergies between manufacturing and printing optimisation challenges, the company started developing imposition and ganging software in 2007.
Complete automation of print layout creation has always been the goal whereby print layout preparation is at the centre of the printing industries’ optimisation and planning tasks. The approach is to build a holistic solver that can consider all the influencing parameters from pre-press, press and post press operations. Using strengths in core technologies enabled them to achieve success. Technology is the enabler but constant focus on listening to customers’ evolving needs and being responsive to them was singularly responsible in building a coherent single software product.
‘We have, arguably the best solutions in the space of imposition, ganging and process driven intelligent estimation,’ said Santosh Mulay, vice president – business development, InSoft Automation.
Switch provides a great eco system for comprehensive automation to the print industry. To InSoft, it made business sense to be part of this eco system. Insoft Automation found the integration into Switch to be easier than anticipated, thanks to the support and feedback that it received from the Switch support team.
‘I believe our future customers and prospects, who are already using Enfocus Switch, will be able to quickly build InSoft solutions into their automated workflow. We have plans to develop more integration apps in the Switch eco system that should take the integration benefits to more and more customers.’ added Santosh.
