Print MIS Software for Large Format Printers
Large format print businesses handle a wide range of substrates, print processes, and finishing requirements - often on the same job. A single order might involve multiple materials, cutting, laminating, mounting, and installation at a client's premises. Quoting needs to reflect all of that. Job tracking needs to follow it through every stage. Printlogic manages the full workflow for large format printers - from a substrate-specific estimate through production, finishing, dispatch, and invoicing - in one system.
How large format printers use Printlogic
-
Step 1 - Substrate and material estimating
Printlogic calculates large format estimates based on your configured substrates, roll media, ink costs, finishing rates, and cutting charges. Multi-component jobs - a banner, a display stand, a set of window graphics - are estimated as a single quote with individual line items. Trade supplier pricing from Tradeprint and Route 1 Print pulls directly into outsourced estimates.
-
Step 2 - Job tracking through production stages
Large format jobs move through defined production stages in Printlogic - print, laminate, cut, mount, finish. Each stage is tracked and timestamped. Print floor screens display the current queue to production staff. Management sees live job status across all active work without interrupting production.
-
Step 3 - Purchasing for materials and outsourced items
Purchase orders for substrates, bought-in materials, and outsourced finishing are raised directly from the job record. Supplier delivery is tracked against each PO. Stock levels for roll media and consumables update automatically as jobs consume material.
-
Step 4 - Dispatch and delivery coordination
Delivery dockets are generated from the job record. For installation jobs, the delivery and installation date is recorded against the job. The client-facing delivery docket carries your branding.
-
Step 5 - Invoicing
Completed jobs invoice from the job record with all components, materials, and charges pre-populated. Multi-component jobs invoice as a single document with individual line items. Invoices export directly to Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, or MYOB.
Substrate and material costing - configure roll media, rigid substrates, inks, and finishing rates; Printlogic calculates job costs based on your actual material and process costs
Multi-stage job tracking - define production stages per job type; track print, laminate, cut, and finish as separate milestones on the same job
Trade supplier integration - pull live pricing from Tradeprint and Route 1 Print for outsourced items without leaving the system
Stock control for roll media and consumables - track substrate and consumable stock levels with warning alerts before materials run out
White-label delivery dockets - client-facing delivery documentation carries your branding
How it connects
Large format businesses often run a mix of own-production and outsourced work on the same job. Printlogic handles both in the same job record - own-production items costed through your machine and material rates, outsourced items purchased through supplier POs, all tracked through to the same delivery and the same invoice. The client sees one document. The system tracks everything behind it.
