EFI™ MicroPress v8.2The powerful and complete production workflow solution
Produce complex documents faster and more efficiently
In today’s competitive landscape, businesses face the constant challenge of customers expecting
faster turnaround, more capabilities from your business and high quality output. Fulfilling these
expectations often requires extensive resources and time – however it doesn’t have to. Having a print
production workflow solution that handles complex file formats, receives, proofs, edits or approves
files online, reduces cycle time and accurately tracks job receipts, status and errors, is critical to
meeting your customers expectations profitably.
MicroPress is the most powerful print production workflow solution; whether you are a corporate
reproduction centre, print-on-demand shop or high-volume commercial printer, MicroPress offers a
fully featured, affordable and scalable workflow solution specially suited to your business.

Take control of your production workflows
Reduces job handling by automatically routing jobs to available devices, making print
operations more profitable

‘What you see is what you get’
Spending more time preparing and managing jobs than actually
printing them means your digital presses are likely to be sitting
idle. This has a negative impact on your profitability and return
on investment.
