More than 30 printers visited to see the production workflow from prepress across printing and finishing.
Talking to PrintWeek MEA, general manager, sales at Heidelberg Gulf, Roger Nicodeme said: "The aim of the seminar was to introduce the new Prinect 11.0 features and specifications. Also we wanted to show the customers a live demo on real jobs and how the new workflow from Heidelberg can save time and money with increase in the productivity of every printshop."
Explaining the live demo concept he said: "We were directly connected to the servers in Heidelberg through a client from the demo room in Dubai and we started a job from the quotation stage to the final production and invoicing. The demo included all the steps in the workflow, from the MIS to the colour management, the analysis on individual jobs and on the whole workflow of sending the jobs to different machines."
Talking about feedback, Nicodeme said: "All participants had very positive feedback about the seminar as having the right workflow in the press can improve the productivity between 20 to 40%. The outcome is tangible improvement on efficiency and quality. Many asked to receive more information about different modules and asked to have more frequent events to cover similar topics."
