A visionary print media company: Step Print Power keeps its eye on the future

A print media company that keeps evolving, stays afloat and the Danish Step Print Power is an excellent example of that. After all, this multidisciplinary print production company has been around for more than 150 years for a reason! The team is proud of their long history. You can find out how that ability to look ahead translates into practice here!

Printing as a complete package

Step Print Power has the ambition to be all links in the print media chain: design, production, finishing and delivery. The company adapts its machinery to the demands of the market. Today, they offer a wide range of digital, offset and large-format printing, as well as signage, foils and image decoration. Their team consists of professionals with a passion for high-quality printing, produced with state-of-the-art machinery.

They print for both large and small companies. Step Print Power is part of Jysk Fynske Medier (JFM), Denmark's second-largest private media group, which reaches more than 2.5 million people per week with 15 daily newspapers, 63 weekly magazines, 5 radio stations and a wide range of news sites and other digital brands.

One of the first green printing companies

Step Print Power can be proud with good reason. For almost three decades, purposeful work with green solutions and environmental considerations has been an integral part of their long history. As early as 1998, they were the first printing company on the Danish island of Funen to have its environmental management system certified as ISO 14001 and licensed for the Nordic Ecolabel. In 2002, they were the fourth printing company in Denmark to receive an FSC licence and later a PEFC licence. The Svendborg plant was thus one of the first printing plants in the country to make a conscious decision to work for a better environment.

Attention to the environment has thus played a central role for many years. Today, it is a natural and integral part of daily life for all employees at Step Print Power: eco-labelled paper, 100% green electricity, offset plates without chemicals, less waste, environmental management according to ISO14001 and many other initiatives.

A smoother workflow with MultiPress

The next step in their innovation story is now MultiPress, the ERP software specifically tailored to the print media sector. Step Print Power embarked on their MultiPress journey with clear goals in mind.

Because Step Print Power offers various printing techniques, it was of the utmost importance that they could do the price calculations of that multidisciplinary print production, all with one system, no matter how complex the job. And they can, with MultiPress! Whatever the print job, with MultiPress the team always calculates the best price based on up-to-date customer information, supplier prices and production data. Every possible detail can be entered in MultiPress and in a few steps, they send profitable quotations to their clients. In this way, they gain valuable time, which they can use much more usefully in other steps of the process.

Step Print Power also aims to speed up their prepress processes with the Check & Repair and Imposition modules of MultiPress. The MultiPress "Check & Repair" module avoids the risk of errors in supplied PDF files, automatically resolves them and even offers a business opportunity in the form of additional customer service.

The MultiPress Imposition engine, for its part, automatically optimises the imposition of a PDF file during the preparation phase of the order. This saves time in both preparation and execution, and it enables a quick and accurate price calculation based on realistic production data. With MultiPress, Step Print Power takes big steps towards a reliable future.
