"What
we used to do in a couple of hours now takes about 2 minutes
with Metrix... I can't imagine doing without Metrix - it would
not be possible."

So, do you know of anyone who might want to buy a Preps license or two?"

"With Metrix, our layout planner has
doubled the amount of work he is able to do in a day. At the
same time, Metrix provides us with instant feedback as to
the viability of a production plan, showing us that a proposed
imposition can actually be done. The learning curve for Metrix
was also extremely short. Our planner learned the software
after only two hours of web-based training, making it one
of the easiest implementations of new technology I've ever
experienced."

"Before we introduced Metrix 2.0, we
had established islands of JDF-enabled devices. Metrix is
the ultimate bridge, allowing us to link our complete JDF
workflow together, from MIS, estimating and scheduling, to
prepress, press and post-press."
Joe Novak
Director of Technology
Williamson Printing Corporation
Dallas, Texas, USA
"Metrix has become an indispensable
tool for our workflow. By automatically calculating all our
ganged layouts, and enabling us to easily edit these layouts
where necessary while simultaneously checking that our edits
don't cause any errors, Metrix has reduced the total work
time in our prepress department by 20-25%. At the same time
it is reducing raw material consumption by allowing us to
try different "what-if" scenarios on-the-fly, for
instance trying to fit the same products on a more efficient
sheet size. Another significant benefit is the reduction in
errors to manual data entry. An unexpected side effect of
Metrix has been improved morale - creating gang layouts manually
was a very tedious and often frustrating exercise. Metrix
is the right tool for the job."
Andrew Cester
Director
Whirlwind

"Metrix is amazing. It is saving us
2-3 hours of work for every gang layout we print, which is
opening up new markets to us. We can pass these savings on
to our customers to win even further business."
Edward Kouwenhoven
Generation Printing Ltd.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
"Metrix has helped us double the work
capacity of the planning and estimating departmentswithout
any increase in staff. As a result, a greater number of jobs
are getting to the pressroom faster, so we've increased the
companys press utilization and overall throughput by
20 percent. Metrix has also helped us cut prepress imposition
time per job by 50 percent. Metrix has been a key part of
our company's continued growth."
Mike Lawing

"When I was a CSR, I begged for this!"
2005 PIA/GATF InterTech Technology Award Judge
"Metrix works like magic. It optimizes
press sheet layouts for ganging multiple products, eliminates
the complexities of gang printing and minimizes stock waste,
placing as much product on a press sheet as possible, while
considering printer/press capabilities and product specs such
as grain direction."
Frank Romano
Professor Emeritus
Rochester Institute of Technology School of Print Media
USA
"Metrix is an exceptional tool to increase
throughput in job planning and prepress as well as in the
pressroom."
