"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

"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."

"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."

"Metrix has helped us double the work capacity of the planning and estimating departments—without any increase in staff. As a result, a greater number of jobs are getting to the pressroom faster, so we've increased the company’s 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."

"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."

"Metrix is an exceptional tool to increase throughput in job planning and prepress as well as in the pressroom."
