InSoft Automation integrates with Enfocus Switch
InSoft announces the launch of Imp XML Bundle, a new app for the Enfocus Switch automation platform. The app is available in the Enfocus Appstore and integrates our handsfree imposition and layout software Imp Flow with Switch. The Imp XML Bundle includes two apps, Imp XML Creator app and Imp XML Merger app, acting as a bridge between Switch and Imp Flow.
Enfocus Switch
Switch is a print workflow automation platform, developed and marketed by Enfocus, the leader in PDF quality control, advanced PDF editing and workflow automation for the graphic arts industry. Switch is a highly flexible and well-thought-out software that can control the flow of data, provide checks and handle PDF and other file types with ease. It is empowering the print industry to move towards Industry 4.0. It is an open platform that allows users to build an interconnected and fully automated workflow using their favourite applications.
Integration with Switch
The Imp XML Creator app automates ganging, imposition for offset, digital and large format printing without any human touch points. Imp compatible XML files with job definitions are automatically created when PDF, JDF, XML, CSV, XMP and TXT files are dropped in an input folder. The Imp XML Merger app combines multiple Imp XML files into a single XML file. This app is especially useful for ganged jobs.
“Customers are continuously looking for ways to save costs and produce products in the fastest and most economical way” says Angelo Manno, Global OEM & Strategic Accounts Manager, Enfocus. “We’re extremely happy that InSoft Automation joined our App Creation Partner Program.

Standardizing on integration efforts makes the workflow also reliable and predictable and eases any required support efforts.”

Express Pack Print, Dubai
Both speakers, Harsha & Vijay emphasised on the merit of keeping estimation & negotiation cycles outside of MIS/ERP, a new concept. Pragati has SAP and Express Pack Print has Dynamics AX, yet they use InSoft’s solution for the purpose of dealing with any new job enquiry and preparing quotations. With inbuilt automation and layout optimization abilities of the software, the sales team feels empowered and can generate quotes (even for complex jobs) in few minutes. Further, Planners and CAD operators’ task to generate layouts for estimators is eliminated. Only when an order is confirmed and a purchase order raised, Estimation & Layout data is transferred from InSoft’s Imp software to their ERP/MIS through XML.
Technical Focus session was a participatory session with the entire audience taking part and contributing their opinion. This was interesting with guests, sharing their experience on how they overcame challenges. This session had lively debates, with discussion on the methodologies and systems adopted to overcome the limitations in running print business, making the event a truly knowledge sharing one.
Insoft expresses gratitude to all the guests who made the day a memorable one. Given the busy schedules, guests were delighted with this opportunity to meet their colleagues in trade in person, after long time.
