“Before installing Direct-to-Finish we would have mis-cuts. If you miss one cut on a digital job you can ruin the whole job. With Direct-to-Finish the Indigo presses printer prints a barcode sheet. We scan that sheet and the cut file automatically loads into the cutter. We can get 24 percent more jobs out the door at a faster rate."

- Erich Rawlins, plant manager, iTek Graphics

“At 200+ jobs a day, saving 3-5 minutes per job on the cutting set-up adds up to significant 2-3 hours saved a day of cutting time. We now have 1 operator, working 1 shift, whereas before we needed 2 cutters, working all day, 2 shifts and overtime.”

-Peter Zierten,Director of Systems and Information Technology, Benson Integrated Marketing Solutions, GA, USA
