Keep every printer busy with the Smart Queue

Add jobs once, let the queue match them to printers with the right colors, and send the next plate the moment one comes off.

Keep every printer busy with the Smart Queue
  1. Add jobs

    Add a file from the library, an upload or an order design. Set the number of pieces, the colors (from your inventory) and the print settings.

  2. Give jobs a due date or phases

    Each job can have a completion date, or phases for staged shipments. The queue shows Done, On track, At risk or Late for each phase.

  3. Use suggestions

    Suggestions show which jobs to move up to make every date. Use suggested or Sort by due date applies them — nothing reorders by itself.

  4. Plate clear → Send

    When a plate comes off, a person marks the printer Plate clear. The next job that fits that printer and its loaded colors is ready to send with one tap.

    • Jobs are sliced for each printer model automatically
    • "Any of the material" jobs use whatever matching spool is loaded
    • Every plate is followed through History until it finishes
