The company delivers a range of offset, commercial, digital, and wide-format applications to a variety of customers in Portugal and beyond.

Carlos Julio, Ocyan production coordinator says: “Our customers value our professionalism and our ability to act as consultants and advisors to ensure they get the products that are going to best meet their specific needs.

“In addition, our customers also demand, and have come to expect from us, exceptionally high quality and timely delivery. We pride ourselves on keeping to strict deadlines and are always on the lookout for opportunities to enhance this aspect of our service offering in any way we can.”

Phoenix is a Tilia Labs wide-format, workflow software tool which Fujifilm offers as part of its XMF portfolio of products.

Having bought photographic papers and development chemicals from Fujifilm for years, the longstanding customer learned about the software through this connection.

Ocyan saw the potential to save a significant amount of time through the software and made the decision to install it.

Commenting on the outcome of the installation, Julio says: “Complex job set up time that would typically have taken around half an hour previously, using largely manual process, now takes two to three minutes, thanks to the degree to which Phoenix automates the layout process.

“Waste is also down as a result, and over the course of a week the time savings become substantial. Planning time used to require two people for five days a week, now the same workload can be accommodated by one person in three days.

“This has freed up a huge amount of staff time to direct to other uses and gives us the opportunity to target new customers and business opportunities that we would not have had the capacity for in the past.”
