Instaprint’s MIS is designed with complete flexibility in mind, empowering users to shape the system to meet their specific needs. Unlike other solutions that impose rigid workflows, Instaprint allows you to add, modify, and personalize functionalities without restrictions.
Whether you need custom reporting, new integrations, or unique process workflows, you have the freedom to tailor the system to fit your business perfectly. With no limits to customization, Instaprint adapts to you — not the other way around.

Instaprint is a cloud based MIS solution that works great as a standalone tool, as shown in the feature list below. However, it becomes exceptionally powerful when integrated with Enfocus Switch, elevating its capabilities through rule-based automation and AI. This integration streamlines workflows, enhances data flow, and reduces errors, making production more efficient and cost-effective.

MIS features

Access from desktop, tablet, or phone – wherever you are. No server maintenance needed.

Instaprint MIS is hosted in a dedicated, eco-friendly server environment — not shared with other clients. Unlike many cloud-based MIS platforms, your system runs in an isolated server instance, ensuring better performance, security, and full control. Green datacenter infrastructure is included in the hosting price.

Create as many user accounts as needed – no extra cost. Your entire team can access the system.

Assign access levels based on user roles – such as designer, production manager, or accountant. The system ensures secure data handling.

The UI supports multiple languages, and documents like invoices, reports, and quotes can be generated in multiple languages. Perfect for print companies serving clients across different countries or language backgrounds.

Each customer has secure access to their orders, invoices, and job statuses through a self-service portal, where communication and approvals happen in one place. Our Customer Portal also acts as a powerful Web-to-Print (W2P) solution, allowing clients to easily order and manage their print products online. In addition, Instaprint can seamlessly integrate with your existing eCommerce website, bringing full W2P functionality directly into your current online store.

Instaprint provides a secure REST API with token-based authentication and real-time Webhooks for seamless, bidirectional integration with third-party solutions.
The API supports key operations such as order submission, status retrieval, customer data updates, and product catalog management. Webhooks provide instant notifications to external systems on key events like new orders, job status changes, shipment updates, and invoice generation, ensuring real-time, event-driven workflows.
With flexible integration options, Instaprint easily connects to your existing ecosystem, enhancing automation and streamlining operations.

Get instant insights into sales, production, and costs. Compare planned vs actual results to make informed decisions. Instaprint allows you to create customizable reports and dashboards tailored to your specific business needs. Additionally, the system offers full flexibility for importing and exporting data across various platforms, ensuring seamless integration and automation of all processes.

Quickly create professional quotes and convert them into orders. Invoicing is automated once the job is complete or delivered.

Manage sales and purchase orders in one unified system to reduce errors. Workflows are connected to stock and billing processes.

Manage all jobs in one place – from order intake to production. Tasks, deadlines, and statuses are visible to your entire team in real time.

Define specific production steps for each product. The system automatically tracks progress across tasks.

Define specific production steps for each product. The system automatically tracks progress across tasks. Instaprint offers multiple ways to monitor work in progress, including Calendar, Kanban, and Gantt views, as well as built-in Capacity Planning tools to manage workloads, optimize resource allocation, and ensure smooth production flow.

Employees can log their work hours and tasks directly. This enables efficiency tracking and precise labor cost calculation.

Keep track of papers, substrates, and supplies. The system alerts you when stock falls below the minimum threshold.

Store the full history of client interactions, including quotes, jobs, and payments. Automated CRM helps you manage your sales pipeline.
The system automatically syncs with Enfocus Switch workflows, ensuring that job updates and task execution happen without manual input. For example, Switch can trigger Phoenix to generate a production plan and automatically check material availability in Instaprint. If stock is insufficient, a purchase order can be created instantly — no human interaction needed.
Thanks to the Switch connection, Instaprint can integrate with a wide range of industry tools from developers such as Callas, ColorLogic, Ultimate TechnoGraphics, Quite Software, and many others commonly used in the printing industry. The results generated by these third-party tools — such as preflight reports, color conversions, impositions or layout decisions — can be passed back to Instaprint and used for automated decision-making within the MIS.
Additionally, integration with DFE (Digital Front Ends) for digital printing devices is supported, enabling seamless connectivity with presses from leading manufacturers like HP Indigo, Canon, Xerox, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, and more — making end-to-end automation from order intake to production even more powerful.

Enfocus offers tools that automate print workflows and add value to ERP/MIS systems. Enfocus Switch integrates with systems like Instaprint to automate tasks and improve data flow. Enfocus PitStop ensures accurate print jobs with preflight and PDF editing, while Phoenix handles intelligent production planning and imposition. Together, these tools enhance ERP/MIS systems by boosting efficiency, reducing errors, and speeding up production.

Switch features

The foundation of rule-based automation – the heart of Switch.
The Core Engine is the central brain of Enfocus Switch. It forms the base layer for all intelligent, rule-driven workflows—every other module connects to and expands upon its logic. It enables conditional routing, file handling, metadata processing, FTP/SFTP transfers, and email automation.
Acting like a rule-based AI, it makes autonomous decisions and keeps files moving without human intervention. All other modules orbit around the Core Engine, enhancing and customizing its capabilities to match specific business needs.

Makes all other modules smarter by unlocking the power of metadata.
This module enables flows to read, write, and act upon XML, XMP, JDF, JSON, and other metadata formats. By adding contextual awareness, it enhances the decision-making abilities of all other modules—essentially turning Switch into a smarter, more adaptive rule-based AI engine.
It multiplies the value of modules like PitStop Server, Database, and Web Services by enabling fully dynamic, metadata-driven workflows.

Automated PDF preflight, correction, and color management.
This module integrates Enfocus PitStop Server into your Switch flows, enabling automatic PDF analysis, correction, and reporting. It applies preflight profiles and action lists without user intervention, allowing for fully autonomous processing.
Additionally, PitStop Server supports automatic color management by applying predefined color profiles (ICC), converting color spaces, and ensuring print-ready output. Combined with metadata logic and routing, it adds smart, AI-like control to your prepress automation.

Collaborative online review and approval of files.
Seamlessly connects to Switch for cloud-based proofing and review. Automatically sends files to clients or colleagues for approval, then continues the flow based on their decisions. Smart and automated production process that involves external parties, like clients or partners, for feedback or approval.

Phoenix is an intelligent production planning and imposition tool that optimizes print job management. It automatically calculates the most efficient way to arrange pages, reducing paper waste and ensuring faster production times. Phoenix integrates seamlessly with Enfocus Switch, allowing automated workflows and smoother operation.

Griffin is an ultra-fast nesting and layout creation tool designed for speed and efficiency. It helps users quickly create optimized layouts for printing, saving both time and resources. Griffin works seamlessly with Enfocus Switch to automate the nesting process, streamlining production and improving workflow efficiency.

Enables job approval, review, and routing by internal users.
With the Client Module, team members can interact with jobs through the SwitchClient interface—approve, reject, add metadata, or reroute jobs mid-flow. It introduces human input into an otherwise autonomous AI-driven workflow, making Switch highly flexible.

Easily submit jobs to Switch from any web-to-print or online platform using the open Switch API. No user accounts are needed for temporary users.
The module includes a built-in web-based Switch Client that allows users to:
– Submit jobs and metadata directly to Switch
– Review and approve jobs that require sign-off
– Track job statuses throughout the production workflow

Connects Switch to SQL databases for dynamic decisions.
Lets flows retrieve, insert, and update records in external databases, such as MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server. This enables real-time data-driven automation—Switch becomes a smart actor in your data ecosystem.

Custom logic using Node.js – full access to modern scripting power.
The Scripting Module allows advanced users to create custom flow elements using modern Node.js-based scripting. This enables seamless integration with third-party systems, dynamic manipulation of files and metadata, and logic that goes beyond what standard flow elements offer.
With access to Node.js libraries and async programming, you can build intelligent, context-aware automation that behaves like true AI logic—tailored exactly to your production needs.

Key highlights:

  • Based on modern Node.js, not legacy ExtendScript

  • Full support for NPM packages, filesystem access, HTTP requests, etc.

  • Asynchronous and event-driven scripting

  • Ideal for REST API calls, dynamic file naming, metadata logic, custom routing, and more

  • Enables flows to behave like intelligent microservices within your workflow

Interactive PDF editing and preflight tool for print professionals.
PitStop Pro is a powerful Adobe Acrobat plug-in that allows manual inspection, editing, and correction of PDF files. While Switch automates decisions and PitStop Server applies fixes automatically, PitStop Pro is the human touchpoint—ideal for reviewing flagged issues or making precise adjustments.
It complements automated flows with expert visual control where needed.

Extend your Enfocus Switch functionality with a wide range of apps.
The Enfocus Appstore offers a variety of apps that can enhance and customize your Enfocus Switch workflows. These apps include both third-party integrations and Enfocus-developed solutions, allowing you to add specialized features like advanced automation, external system integrations, and custom workflows tailored to your business needs. Many of the apps have been developed by other Switch users, offering a quick and easy way to incorporate their solutions into your own workflows.

Whether you need additional connectors, creative tools, or advanced processing features, the Appstore provides a centralized platform for extending the capabilities of your Switch system. This makes it easy to leverage the expertise of the Switch community and take advantage of pre-built, tested solutions that can save you time and effort in building your own automations.

By using the Enfocus Appstore, you can unlock the full potential of Enfocus Switch and create a highly tailored automation solution for your business.
