With LIVING PSO/PSD!®
reduce the production costs of print products, reduce machine set-up times and waste and increase production output and quality without having to make large investments.

Why Living PSO/PSD®
is interesting for you?

In view of the increasing cost pressure in the printing industry, minimising costs is essential for many printing companies.

For this reason, more and more entrepreneurs are realising how important interdepartmental quality assurance, standardisation and continuous optimisation of processes are for the long-term success and the positioning of their company in the market.

The reduction of set-up times and a significant reduction of waste are increasingly important in order to decrease the manufacturing costs of print products.

What do our customers want?

Reducing costs

The declared objective of our customers is: “Increase output and reduce costs!” We achieve this by optimising the individual processes along the entire production chain from prepress to CtP to print in a first step, by standardising them in a second step and by continuously reviewing them in the last and third step. ” One-time results” are not enough to be successful in the long-term.

Technical assistance

Our customers want to know that they have a recognised, reliable and competent partner with short response times at their side for technical questions (e.g. investment decisions, optimisation options) as well as for technical problems (colour fluctuations, excessive waste, complaints). Together we want to solve problems (quickly and sustainably) and not search for them!

LIVING PSO!® increases the competitiveness of your company

– even if it already plays in the premier league.

How can the LIVING PSO!®/PSD concept help me?

Every good template deserves a crowning finish. So it’s just a shame that bad passes occur time and time again precisely in the interaction between the prepress and print stages.

Instead of successes, own goals need to be avoided:

machine downtimes
price discounts
reprints
loss of image

The cause is clear: there’s no coordination between the prepress, CtP and press teams. After all, virtually no other industry is as dependent on technical variables and changes as the printing industry. And this is precisely where LIVING PSO!® comes in: with this extensive package of advice, service and software, you as a printing services provider can make your processes profitable. You can guide your projects securely to their destination – and on excellent terms too.

Our award-winning PrintProcessControl® software assumes the role of a virtual coach in this concept: It helps with analysis and corrections and therefore ensures a smooth flow of the game in all stages of production.

Our instructors, technicians, engineers and experts are also literally there for you whenever you need them, almost 365 days a year. Our LIVING PSO!® certificate converts the „ISO 12647 offset printing process standard“ into a success factor that can be felt every day.

LIVING PSO!® increases your company’s competitiveness – even if it is already playing in the premier league.
And because this quality concept is superbly efficient, LIVING PSO!® has already taken its first title: The PrintProcessControl® software has won the German printing industry’s Innovation Prize.

Ablauf – LIVING PSO/PSD!®

DStandardisierung mit Konzept

With LIVING PSO/PSD!® the definition of standard takes on a new dimension:

Through the holistic recording and continuous optimisation of your processes and technology in combination with the constant qualification and further training of your employees (who have to understand and master the increasingly complex processes), typical own goals such as unnecessary and increased material consumption, machine downtimes, price reductions, reprints and image loss are avoided.

We have further developed the pure certification process: It is not enough to take an exam once a year to document the quality of individual printed sheets. To be truly successful in the long term, process optimisation, quality control and qualification of your employees must be a daily lived reality within the company. A fundamental principle of this offer is that the customer agrees on a specific contract period and thereby takes the desired services in the way of a subscription to be paid monthly. The company therefore not only knows the exact costs of LIVING PSO/PSD!® in advance, but also has only one partner for consulting, qualification and technology.
