Paul Sorenson, planning manager at Imagine says, “We carefully analysed the ability of Metrix to handle the intricacies of our work before we made the purchasing decision, Metrix proved its worth.

Sorenson says, “By letting the Metrix engine try various sheet sizes and presses – based on costing, which is extremely important – our estimators are finding more efficient and profitable production plans. And, the prepress department was relieved of the imposition burden.”

The Metrix 3.0 family includes Metrix Commercial, Metrix Max, Metrix X-8 and Metrix X-80, targeted at different segments of the commercial print market. All editions are available on Mac OS X and Windows, and all automatically plan and impose flat, folded, and bound work.

All editions can import JDF and export imposed PDF. Select editions include Auto Plan, and export various forms of JDF for prepress and finishing. The entire Metrix family is available in English, German, Spanish, and French.

Sorenson continues, “Flexibility was another huge bonus since quantities are always changing at the last minute. With Metrix a few clicks and we can make the changes and redo the plan and the imposition.”

He adds, “Metrix was so easy to understand and get to know that we were able to do all of our own training on site.”
