Quote - Price all sections on the same press

Quote - Price all sections on the same press

Introduction

Often a job can be split out into many sections.
For example, a large page count booklet. For consistency in quality, these can be required to all be produced on the same press. 

How it works

Custom Quoting
When custom quoting, at a job level under the ‘Advanced Production Options’:


Check ON the option ‘Price Sections On Same Press’:


This will look at the ‘section type’ allocated to each section.
When the section type matches, printIQ will quote all same section types on the same press/worksty le.
Sections are allocated a ‘section type’. The logic for pricing on the same press works of matching the same section type:



In this example, we cave a Cover with a ‘Cover’ section type and two text sections on different stocks but both use the same section type of ‘Text’:



When quoted with the ‘Same Press’ option OFF, all three sections are on different presses:


When quoted with the ‘Same Press’ option ON, the two ‘Text’ sections are quoted on the same press/workstyle:
