Our software solution offers both: You can flexibly imposition documents, define formats, select papers and more during print preparation. An intelligent optimization function is at your side. At the same time, you can also save frequently used settings as products (e.g. booklets, business cards) and thus save a lot of time during print preparation.
Your print file needs some extra editing? You don't need to switch to another tool: Rearrange pages and sheets. Add pages from external PDF files. Insert tab sheets and label them easily. Crop, scale or rotate page content. Add as many text fields or even images as required.
Share a folder in your network which is linked with a print product. The result: All documents, that your users put in there, are uploaded with the print settings automatically applied. They arrive print-ready!
All print jobs are listed in the main window to guarantee a perfect overview. For specific tasks you can create smart folders that contain only the jobs that match your selected criteria. For example, create a smart folder to filter out jobs assigned to a specific printing device or jobs that contain preflight warnings.
You want to create personalized print products such as postcards, tickets, flyers or mailings? Upload a CSV file with the respective variable content and insert it into the print file as text, barcode, or QR code using placeholders. With the Flux Barcode Pro option, you can choose from a wide range of additional barcodes and check their validity before printing.
Avoid printing problems resulting from incorrect PDF files. During import all documents are automatically checked for missing fonts, images with a resolution too low and transparencies.
We provide full support for Konica Minolta controllers. Save time by adjusting all color management settings within the application without the need to switch to the controller. Retrieve existing profiles and adjust them individually. You can also assign an individual color profile to each paper in the software's paper catalog.
Optimize the utilization of your production machines by organizing them in printer clusters. Print jobs are distributed evenly across all machines in one cluster, even taking the device's individual printing speed into account. A split between color and b/w printers using the color status of the individual pages is also possible.
Our software solution is optimized for output on production machines from Konica Minolta. In addition, you can also connect printing devices from other manufacturers. This allows you to centrally control all machines in your print room.

Expand AccurioPro Flux with our label printing option. Prepare labels for printing
in a few easy steps, including imposition and personalization. This option is
optimized for Konica Minolta's label printers.
Flux Label Impose: Preparing label jobs for printing
Flux Label Impose: Create templates for repeated use
Flux Label Impose: Export die lines for the production of the die cutting tool
Prepare labels for printing in the user-friendly editor in just a few steps: When arranging individual or multiple artworks in the desired print run, an intelligent optimization function is available to you. Define individual spacing and add register marks. If required, you can easily scale or mirror artworks.
If you often print labels of the same format or several variants of the same design, you will save a lot of time by working with templates. Save finished print jobs as a signature (including register marks), which you can fill with new designs.
There is often a requirement to personalize labels or add individual barcodes or QR codes to enable unique identification. Flux Label Impose allows you to integrate variable data from CSV files as text, barcode or QR code into the design and individualize each label. With the Flux Barcode Pro option, many additional barcode types are available, and you can even check their validity before printing.
For an optimal workflow in your print shop, it is essential to set up print jobs so that they can be easily processed after printing. Flux Label Impose lets you add register marks in various shapes, sizes and colors. Align them automatically with individual columns, or place them completely individually. You can thus conveniently meet the requirements of the respective finishing device.
When importing the artworks, included spot colors are automatically detected. Assign functions to the spot colors and define whether they are relevant for finishing or whether they are a die line, for example. You can export die lines (as well as other layers) separately as a PDF file in order to produce a cutting die based on them.
Avoid misprints due to incorrect PDF files. All print documents can be automatically checked for missing fonts, low-resolution images, and transparencies during import. For more extensive checking options and fix-ups, you can also purchase the Flux Preflight Pro option.
