Combining jobs is one of the smartest ways to achieve higher margins on print jobs and increase profitability.
Whether you produce offset, small format digital, or large format print, combining directly in MultiPress always calculates optimal material usage. This way, you create winning quotes and produce with higher margins.
The intelligent MultiPress combination module, powered by Workflower, instantly provides the most cost-effective layout for placing multiple orders on one or more print sheets. The proposed layout can be quickly adjusted via drag-and-drop.
- Combining at quotation level: Combine print jobs already at quotation level and gain more profit from every request. With MultiPress Workflower, you can easily merge requests, lower costs, and immediately create higher margins.
- Combining at order level: Turn every order into maximum profit. MultiPress Workflower lets you combine orders intelligently, lowering production costs and increasing margins. More productivity, more profit!
Behind the scenes, the combined price is distributed across all print items based on a surface area ratio. This saves fixed costs by combining jobs, and the machines produce much more productively due to the combined print run.

16 reasons to make MultiPress Workflower your go-to solution!
MultiPress Workflower | Standalone workflow software (Phoenix, OneVision, Primecenter, Metrix) | |
---|---|---|
Smart automation | Automates processes through built-in integrations. | Requires costly custom APIs or middleware to connect systems. |
| Effortlessly optimise multiple print sheets for maximum profit. | No direct connection with business processes results in unprofitable print sheet layouts. |
| Distribute a single product intelligently across multiple print sheets to reduce costs immediately. | Distributing products across print sheets is disadvantageous without integrated cost calculations. |
| Calculate the correct price instantly and in detail based on the required number of calculations. | Prices must be calculated manually based on specific computations, which takes an average of 7 minutes. |
| Seamlessly connect with our powerful imposition engine for streamlined production. | Integration with imposition engines requires time-consuming configuration and slows down your workflow. |
| Quickly and automatically set rotation angles for applications such as packaging printing. | ❌ |
User-friendliness | Manages all data centrally, from orders to customer information and print planning. | Fragmented systems make data management unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming. |
| One platform with a simple, uniform interface and workflows. | Multiple packages and interfaces create a disorganised and complex setup. |
| Connects sales, planning, production, and administration in a single system. | Offers only limited options for connections outside the production environment. |
| Provides full control over the entire process, from quotation to delivery. | Primarily optimises processes within production. |
Flexibility & scalability | Suitable for both simple and complex workflows, offering flexibility and scalability. | Does not provide flexibility for ERP tasks due to its focus on specific production or workflow aspects. |
| Grows with the company and adapts to future needs. | Does not offer flexibility for changing business requirements. |
Clear insights | Provides real-time insights into all processes through integrated business intelligence (BI). | Delivers reports limited to individual processes, without offering a comprehensive overview. |
A complete solution for today and tomorrow | Combines functions such as estimation, planning, CRM, and invoicing with workflow management. | ❌ |
| Provides a complete solution that is often more cost-effective in the long term. | Costs for licences and maintenance of separate tools can escalate quickly. |
| Implementation may take slightly longer but delivers an immediate all-in-one solution. | Implementation is quick for specific workflows but does not offer a comprehensive overview. |

Combining large-format print jobs
Substrates for large-format printing, such as forex, di-bond, and textiles, are not inexpensive. By intelligently combining jobs in MultiPress, you can minimise waste. Combining multiple and even different signs offers undeniable benefits, both in time and cost savings. Let the combination module do the work for you and automatically calculate your profit.
Cost without combining (€) | Cost with combining (€) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Job 1 | POS | 10 | 100 x 400 | 195 | 150 |
Job 2 | Sign | 12 | 100 x 100 | 187 | 122 |
Job 3 | Display board | 6 | 300 x 300 | 198 | 161 |

Combining offset print jobs
For print sheets of 70 x 100 cm, as well as 50 x 70 cm, combining is highly profitable. The combination module seamlessly brings together multiple parts of a single job or even different jobs. This reduces material waste and increases production speeds. Making the most of Pantone colours across various print jobs is a perfect example of this. Dutch cut? Of course!

Combining digital print jobs
For digital printers, combining jobs is pure profit: think of business cards, flyers, and leaflets that can be combined on a single print sheet, even in relatively small runs. The combination module automatically applies the most optimal job connections – including the Dutch cut – to optimise material usage and turnaround time. This makes it possible to combine different jobs and varying quantities in a single print run.
