This article will guide you on how Gelato Connect can revolutionize your printing processes. You'll see how Gelato Connect automates pre-press tasks, optimizes print plate creation, and streamlines packaging for maximum efficiency and productivity.
Automating the Pre-Press Process
With Gelato Connect, all incoming customer orders flow into the platform, where they are automatically processed and organized:
Order to Print Package Conversion:
Each order may contain multiple packages, and each package may have multiple print jobs. Gelato Connect analyzes these print jobs, combines them as needed, and automatically performs batching, ganging, and imposition.
This results in an optimized print package that can contain orders from multiple customers, significantly reducing manual pre-press tasks.
Viewing Print Plates:
Access the Plates section to view all current plates. Each plate may contain numerous orders.
You can inspect the details for each order on a plate, providing visibility into all customer orders included in each batch.
Optimizing the Packaging Process
Gelato Connect’s automation extends beyond printing, streamlining packaging by adding star cards as separators:
Using Star Cards for Order Separation:
Star cards serve as dividers between different orders on the print plate. At the packaging station, operators can easily identify and separate orders using these visual markers, saving time and reducing sorting errors.
Examples of Print Plates:
Plates for products like calendars and business cards are organized with multiple star cards, ensuring each order is distinct and easy to handle during packaging.
