SOFTWARE / NEWS printmonthly PrintMonthlyMagazine printmonthly_signlink LT Print Group has officially launched a new site dedicated entirely to the company’s short-run keg collar printing services. The new site, aptly named kegcollars.co.uk, aims to provide breweries with a simplified and creative route to market for seasonal and smallbatch keg runs, homing in on what the company sees as a growing market. LT Print has a growing client base in the drinks sector which includes Floc. Brewery, Beavertown, and The Five Points Brewing Company. The website gives customers control over print production including custom shapes and Pantone colour matching. Customers can order runs of different sizes and frequencies, from one-off festival exclusives to rolling seasonal series. Artworker, a cloud-based prepress automation platform, has announced a new integration with PrintLogic, a print management information system (MIS) developed by Wildcard Software. The collaboration between Artworker and Wildcard allows for a connected workflow spanning from estimates and order creation in PrintLogic through to preflight checks, file corrections, and proofing in Artworker. The technology aims to give full visibility across both systems, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry. When a new order is placed in the PrintLogic MIS, a job is then automatically created in Artworker, complete with key job details. Once artwork is signed off and ready to go to print, order statuses are then automatically updated in PrintLogic. Speaking of the PrintLogic integration, Nate Duckworth, co-founder at Artworker, says: “PrintLogic has consistently been one of our most requested MIS integrations from our UK users, which is a testament to the value it adds. We’re proud to deliver this connection, helping teams save time, reduce errors, and improve turnaround.” Early adopters of the new integration have already reported significant improvements to their workflows and operations. The integration is part of Artworker’s mission to bridge the knowledge gap between printers and their customers. The new integration combines prepress automation with streamlined estimates and order creation LT Print launches keg printing website Print provider reports major speed boost with Vivid Zip Core software Polidano Press, a print and packaging service provider based in Malta, has reported significant cost and time savings after integrating the Zip Core Packaging Suite from Vivid Laminating Systems. Zip Core is a CAD/CAM packaging workflow software that has been created to optimise the packaging design process. The software offers a library of ready-made templates, packaging presets, and 3D rendering capabilities designed to improve turnaround times and allow design concepts to be delivered with greater speed and efficiency. The suite is designed to integrate seamlessly with tools Polidano already relies on such as Adobe Illustrator, which simplified the transition process. The company also highlighted the userfriendly and intuitive interface as being a core reason for its decision to use Zip Core. Polidano has reported that these efficiencies have led to reduced costs since integrating the software, as well as significantly faster turnaround times. Canon has announced the launch of its new Subscription Security Services, designed to deliver end-toend security protection for businesses to safeguard end point devices, documents, and data. Canon’s Subscription Security Services integrate with the security features in Canon’s existing cloud solutions, such as Cloud Connector and uniFLOW Online. The services include ‘device hardening’ capabilities, automated firmware updates, data backup, and secure data destruction as standard. The device hardening capabilities are designed to ensure all print and scan devices on the network are protected under a unified security policy. Automated firmware updates are designed to ensure devices are always running the latest software, with patches applied to mitigate against potential vulnerabilities, minimising the need for manual updates. The real-time threat detection allows security issues to be flagged as they occur, designed to enable companies to react quickly to threats and implement safeguards. Rapid recovery capabilities also allow for faster restoration of compromised devices, reducing potential downtime.
