printIQ has always been recognised as an end-to-end print management system provider that responds quickly to market needs and works closely with customers to deal with workflow niggles.

Its team of developers release four updates each year with the new Version 44 launched at PacPrint. This release, like previous releases, works with a range of printIQ Enterprise modules to streamline production to optimise print operations.

printIQ sales manager Justin Webber said some key enhancements in Version 44 are:

• The ability to produce white label shipping labels;
• Wizard-like functionality so printers can manage their own quote and invoice templates;
• The ability to add or remove production board columns as required;
• A new campaign distribution feature;
• The addition of a ganging module for roll stocks used for wide format and label printing.

In addition to helping larger businesses thrive with the Version 44 release, the team from printIQ have also buckled down and found a solution to help print shops with less than 10 staff enjoy similar benefits but at a reduced cost.

Small Business Edition is a cloud-based software solution supported by Microsoft Azure which can be purchased on a subscription basis.

Webber said it can be quickly implemented into print businesses to make quoting, job management and invoicing easy and accessible from anywhere and on any device.

It also offers strong functionality to help ease the process of outsourcing work.

“Small Business Edition is a simplified version of printIQ. A lot of smaller print shops outsource a lot of work, so it’s got good outsource functionality and it has good functionality to be able to quote and control the job through production,” Webber said during PacPrint.

“It is really about helping smaller printers automate everything from quoting, ordering and invoicing and providing an option for them so they don’t have to find extra staff to do these jobs.”
