PrintVis now provides better support for optimal machine and substrate selection when creating an estimate.
When a lookup is done into the List of Units from the Job Item, during the brief time it takes to open the page, each List of Units is calculated through by the system. Once the machine list is populated, the sorting is such that the machines are displayed and ordered according to the calculated price for the process and the sum of prerequisites mentioned, with the least expensive machine options at the top of the list.
More:
- Paper/substrates are now included in the temporary calculation of the best combination of paper and machine in the estimate (please note we do not include consumables such as ink in this temporary calculation).
- We’ve optimized choices for auto paper: now you can use the setting “Only stock paper” and/or “Only paper on stock.”
- It is possible to have a different setup for different Product Groups.
- You have the option of auto-calculating per sheet or having PrintVis perform auto-calculation for all sheets at once.
When all information about quantity, # of pages with print, number of colors front & back, the Job Item format, paper weight and quality is entered, the system will filter the List of Units to show only Cost Centers meeting the desired criteria.
