SCREEN and Dataline Unveil Advanced Print MIS/ERP Integration at Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025

14 February 2025

At Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025, SCREEN will demonstrate the latest data sharing workflow solution between EQUIOS and MultiFlow automation flows from the market-leading print MIS/ERP solution MultiPress by Dataline.

Lucerne, Switzerland – As the leading provider of print Management Information Software (MIS) Europe, Dataline and SCREEN’s longstanding partnership has set the benchmark for seamless integration of digital inkjet presses and print MIS systems to provide end-to-end connectivity across the entire commercial printing workflow.

The latest collaboration between SCREEN’s EQUIOS printing workflow software and Dataline’s MultiPress print MIS software, will be showcased with live demonstrations on the Truepress JET 560HDX and the newly released Truepress JET 520NX AD digital inkjet presses with in-line finishing solutions for publishing, transactional, and direct mail printing applications.

Dynamic End-to-End Commercial Print Automation

MultiPress provides a comprehensive, one stop overview of printing operations, integrating file preparation checks, and communication with pre- and post-press machines. These capabilities consolidate administrative calculations and job preparation with in-depth collaborations between a variety of printing and finishing solution providers.

Multiflow, the autFomation add-on to Multipress, represents a significant leap forward in automation for commercial digital printing workflows. This integration works seamlessly with SCREEN EQUIOS press management software to share bi-directional data flows. MultiFlow supports comma-separated values (CSV) files generated by EQUIOS that providing detailed reports on press activity including job time, materials used, and production insights.

This feedback is then automatically processed by MultiPress to perform post-print calculations, ensuring accurate workflow productivity reporting ready for a detailed assessment. Commercial printing businesses can use this feedback to fine-tune their commercial and production operations to optimise production and reduce administrative costs.

Live Demonstrations at HID 2025 of Commercial Print Workflows

Hunkeler Innovationdays attendees will experience live demonstrations from the SCREEN booth of this innovative workflow software integration with a Truepress JET 560HDX, paired with an in-line Hunkeler CS8 Roll-to-Stack solution. These demos will highlight how Multipress with SCREEN EQUIOS enables seamless connectivity across digital printing workflows, automating routine tasks to improve productivity, support labour shortages, and reduce operational waste.

Jef Stoffels from Dataline highlighted the importance of data management and workflow automation for commercial printing, saying, “Printers today must automate to stay competitive. With administrative costs still averaging 40% of total expenses, solutions like MultiPress with in-depth and thorough integrations with press suppliers like SCREEN provide the tools needed to reduce costs, streamline processes, to maintain and expand profitability as commercial printing jobs continue to shift towards smaller more customised orders. This innovation allows printers to build healthier margins and succeed in a market where adaptability is key.”
