Solimar Systems, Inc., provider of leading workflow software solutions for print production and digital communications, has announced that The State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES) is making huge strides in keeping its workflow current and fully optimised, using Solimar’s workflow-enhancing solutions. As a result, DES, a long-standing Solimar customer of almost two decades, has seen PDF file size reductions of up to 89% with an average time savings of 32% and operational costs cut by up to 45%.
The State of Washington (DES) is responsible for creating and distributing much of the state’s printed communications. Through a wide range of digital output options, DES has enhanced its internal workflows with solutions from the Solimar Chemistry™ platform to ensure a streamlined distribution of digital mail and communications throughout the state.
One of the main challenges for DES was transitioning workflows from traditional toner-based devices to newer inkjet printers which require higher levels of colour management and print quality. As DES manages documents containing multiple spot colour elements and pre-printed inserts, the enhancement of workflows using solutions from Solimar’s Chemistry platform has changed how they operate.
DES receives a variety of files that the Solimar® Print Director Enterprise™ (SPDE) and ReadyPDF® Prepress Server™ convert into optimised PDFs to drive print and archiving workflows. The PDFs are segmented by batch type, envelope size, underlays, and other attributes by Solimar’s flexible Rubika® and SOLfusion™ solutions. The scalable workflows allow DES to efficiently process daily loads while making onboarding new projects comparatively easy.
After witnessing the power of Rubika for more than 10 years, DES incorporated ReadyPDF into its workflows to optimise PDF in conjunction with other SPDE modules that convert PDF into AFPDS to drive printers that cannot accept PDF directly. Doing so led to significant reductions in the time to convert and print files, ultimately creating substantial savings.
