As part of that mission to deliver knowledge and solutions, Caldera are delighted to announce the availability of their latest free-to-download Gamut Magazine – this new issue is focused on two trending topics for digital printing business: Direct-to-Film (DTF) and Productivity.
Sébastien Hanssens, Vice President Marketing & Operations at Caldera explains more.
“Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is one of the fastest-growing areas in the print industry. But while new printers and inks get all the attention, the real challenge is happening behind the scenes: how do we manage the growing number of jobs quickly, accurately, and with less effort?
At Caldera, we’re seeing the same patterns emerge across countless DTF shops: an avalanche of small, fast-turn jobs, chaotic nesting processes, and repeated errors caused by manual prep. The common thread? Inefficient workflows that simply can’t keep up with demand.
For too long, automation has been treated as a luxury reserved for the largest operations. That mindset must change. As my colleague Joey Phillips noted, “Automation gives you something more valuable than time, it gives you breathing room to grow your business.”
The message is clear: if you’re spending hours manually nesting files or fixing output mistakes, it’s time to re-evaluate your workflow. Today’s market favours those who can adapt quickly, produce consistently, and scale without burning out their teams.
In the pages our current GAMUT magazine issue, we dive deeper into DTF and DTG, as well as automation strategies and real-world case studies. Because in DTF printing, it’s not just what you print that matters, it’s how you get there.
Let’s stop thinking of workflow as back-end busywork and start seeing it for what it really is: your competitive edge.
