Print workflow automation. Vendor-neutral specialists.
Over 35 years solving real production bottlenecks for print businesses worldwide. Transparent, vendor-aware, no hidden agendas.
// sound familiar?
Your operators spend half their day checking files, fixing PDFs, and chasing artwork instead of running presses. Every rejected file is money left on the floor.
Estimates, job tickets, and press schedules live in three different systems. Data gets re-keyed. Errors creep in. Nobody knows what's actually on press.
Competitors are quoting and shipping faster. You can't keep up without burning your team out.
You've bought workflow tools before. They weren't configured for how you actually work. They gathered dust. The reseller moved on to the next sale.
// what we do
We map every touchpoint in your current production process, identify where automation will deliver the biggest ROI, and give you a clear roadmap before you spend a penny on software.
Automate your entire prepress intake. From PDF/X compliance and GWG enforcement to auto-fixing and colour conversion, all without an operator touching a file.
Connect your web-to-print storefront, MIS, prepress, and finishing into a single data-driven pipeline. Jobs flow from order to press with no re-keying and no manual handoffs.
We don't disappear after go-live. We train your team, document everything, and stay on hand as your workflows evolve so automation keeps delivering, not just on day one.
We assess your full operation and recommend the best-fit tools from across our partner network, prioritising what works for your production, not what pays the most.
// how it works
We map your current operation, find the pain points, and identify the highest-impact automation opportunities. No cost, no obligation.
A plain-English automation roadmap: what to do, in what order, with what tools, and what the ROI looks like. Transparent about all vendor relationships, always.
We configure and test your workflows around your live production schedule. No disruption, no "big bang" go-live, just steady progress.
Your team is trained, documentation is in place. We stay on hand as your workflows grow and evolve.

“We focus on solving real production bottlenecks and workflow pain points rather than pushing specific technologies. By making better use of data and the right automation approaches, we help reduce manual touch points, increase throughput, and move operations towards reliable, hands-off, data-driven production.”

// stack we work with
// print workflow automation
Print workflow automation replaces manual, repetitive production tasks with software-driven systems that run consistently and at speed, without human intervention at every step. For commercial printers, packaging businesses, publishers, and in-plant operations worldwide, the case has never been stronger.
Industry research shows that inefficient manual job processing can cost print businesses up to 20% of their annual revenue. The fastest-growing operations are investing in end-to-end digital workflows, reducing errors, cutting turnaround times, and freeing their teams to focus on work that actually requires human expertise.
For most print operations, prepress is the single biggest manual bottleneck. Automated preflight using callas pdfToolbox or Enfocus PitStop eliminates the majority of this by checking files against PDF/X and GWG standards automatically, applying corrections, and routing clean jobs onward without operator involvement.
autoM8.print has over 35 years of hands-on print production experience. We work with a broad partner network and are transparent about those relationships, so you always know the basis for our recommendations. The difference between a workflow that looks good in a demo and one that runs reliably at 2am without anyone watching it is experience. That's what we bring.
