FASTER | SMARTER | MORE EFFICIENT
ONE PLATFORM. ONE WORKFLOW. TOTAL CONTROL.
PrintFactory is a single, unified print production platform that replaces fragmented RIPs, editors, color tools, and workflow systems, while supporting all printer and cutter brands. All for the the price of a single subscription.
THE PRINTFACTORY DIFFERENCE
One Platform. Not Five.
PrintFactory replaces multiple systems with one unified production environment:
- One Color Management Engine
- One RIP
- One Editor
- One Layout
- One Automation Workflow
- One Cloud Backbone
These are native components of a single platform, not separate modules, not third-party integrations.
Everything works together by design.

- Mixed hardware fleets
- Multi-site operations
- Future expansions without software lock-in
Standardize your workflow—not your hardware.
BUILT-IN COLOR TECHNOLOGY
PrintFactory incorporates advanced color technology that consistently delivers superior and precise color reproduction on various substrates, regardless of environmental conditions or time intervals. With its integrated ink optimization technology, PrintFactory can significantly reduce ink consumption by 20% on average. This not only enhances print quality and stability but also contributes to cost savings through reduced ink usage.
API INTEGRATION
API integration is for customers with an established software development strategy and their own in-house development teams with extensive experience of the PrintFactory ecosystem.
DEVICE-LINK PROFILING
PrintFactory’s Device-Link Profiling color management solution differs from ICC profiles by removing the room for error that creeps in due to extra maths, wear and tear, differences in substrates, ink, or any outside influences.
PrintFactory’s VISU™ Device Link engine improves print quality by producing more accurate reds and oranges. It also has better ink-saving capabilities compared to other engines. The addition of LAT and Reference profile tuning makes it the most powerful color engine in the large format printing industry. The built-in printer calibration wizard can match multiple devices, which reduces media wastage, ink consumption, and turnaround times. This allows for printing work across multiple devices with consistent results. VISU™ makes device-link profiling easy and accessible, making it a great tool for improving print quality and efficiency.
XML INSTRUCTIONS
PrintFactory uses XML instructions instead of PDFs to improve production times and efficiency. Other RIPs copy and paste blocks of color, resulting in larger file sizes and slower processing times. However, PrintFactory’s workflow software writes instructions that describe file placement, media use, and individual profiles, resulting in faster production times, less wasted media, and no network lag, media mistakes, or layout errors. This approach is made possible through the use of cutting-edge technology and allows for a real-time conversation between the software and the RIP.
The connection methods include Hotfolder and API, allowing direct connection to the cloud, which sends the file to the RIP. Labels are Variable Data (VD) documents by default, allowing all data from the XML to be addressed.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Our recommendations and minimum system requirements offer general guidelines for running PrintFactory.
Hardware should meet or exceed specified specifications.
Only currently approved and tested operating system versions should be installed. Installing unapproved versions may cause operational issues with PrintFactory.
