Freie Presse in Chemnitz, Germany, selected manroland unit ppi Media for its printnet workflow app. The buy follows the publisher’s 2007 order for three Colorman XXL presses, which are slated to be in production in 2009.

The app will comprise PressManager, Pecom press automation, printnet Monitor, the jobplan digital planning board and printnet output manager.

The digital planning board assigns all jobs to devices and machines with defined start and end times and the entire production line can be visualized on a monitor.
