AVA, which specialises in software modules used in the printed textile, wallcovering, floor covering, and engraving industries, announced a technology partnership today with PrintFactory, a global provider of digital print workflow software.

Nick Langford, CEO of AVA, said; “It has been great working with a flexible and like minded company like PrintFactory. Our combined experience and expertise in slightly different areas provide a perfect fit which will benefit both existing and future customers”.

The mission of AVA is, by establishing themselves as long term technology and training partners to their customers, to make a unique contribution to the cost-effective design and production of beautiful, successful and environmentally sustainable decorative printed products all over the world.

With a friendly and experienced technical support team on hand for its customers for 18 hours on normal working days, AVA’s focus for over 40 years remains customer partnership, growing and sharing knowledge, and playing a positive and valued role across the lifecycle of decorative prints.
AVA delivers personalised training to every individual user.

Nick continues: “We appreciate the complex and unique challenges each customer faces as they look to convert design brilliance into high quality products, quickly and cost-effectively. AVA’s software modules bring significant and measurable advantage to the whole workflow, from initial design and repeating (in two, or three dimensions), through colour separation and recolouring to digital printing and conventionally printed production. We’re inspired by our customers and use the feedback shared with us daily in the continual development of the software. The close partnerships we forge ensure AVA users remain at the forefront of technology and at the height of their own efficiency and productivity.

Following extensive testing, open and willing communication, and a ready determination to create a seamless workflow for their mutual customers, AVA and PrintFactory are very excited that companies will now benefit from this technological partnership. Impressed by PrintFactory’s list of over 3500 drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux, AVA was equally pleased to find something that they could confidently support themselves and promote to customers.

Nick continues: “Our joint development ensures that AVA users profit from a totally integrated workflow and no interruption in their colour management from screen to print. Using live repeating tools, easy-to-use spot colour separations and effortless colouring and presentation capabilities, we expect that PrintFactory users new to AVA will see improved efficiency and productivity across their typical surface print workflow, leading to higher production levels and need for more print capacity!”

Erik Strik, CEO of PrintFactory: "In addition to our already comprehensive feature set, PrintFactory workflow software now offers more features than our competitors. As a cloud-based platform, we can integrate seamlessly with AVA's software modules, and we are delighted to be partnering with a company that is committed to redefining digital print workflows."
