Customer Testimonials for XChange

 I have worked with hundreds of vendors and very rarely come across any as technical and understanding of the Enfocus products as XChange's Account Manager, Brittany is [...] I can't say enough about how fast she provides solutions and how pleasant she is throughout the problem solving process.  

-Rich Wojtas, Digital Workflow Support Specialist at EPI Marketing Services, Inc.

 A big thank you for all your help over the last 2 years in teaching me how to get the best out of Switch, and to let you know that I have really enjoyed learning from you. I will have no hesitation in recommending XChange in the future for anything software related. 

-Andy Feltham, Digital Solutions Manager at Raccoon

 When it comes to servicing, an upgrade or anything dealing my favorite plug-in, I get in touch with XChange US. I have had my dealings with other software resellers and look for a company that can provide customer service and support as well as prompt delivery. I found these things in XChange US when I purchased my most recent upgrade through them. After receiving my product promptly after purchase, I also received a phone call from a representative who wanted to make sure I had seen the arrival of my new software version and asked if I needed anything else. She was very nice it was such a refreshing experience. I would recommend this company to anyone with print software needs.  

-Betsy Graham, Creative Director at Sierra Heritage Magazine

 I received our licensure for PitStop 12 today. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for such excellent customer service. 

-John Francis, Staff at AlphaGraphics

Description

Are you looking for more efficient methods to plan and impose job files for better use of precious time and material? If you produce packaging, labels, commercial print, book work or wide format printed products then Tilia Phoenix is your solution!

Phoenix allows users to generate fast and accurate estimates which can help reduce pre-press time, automate error-prone tasks and maximize media and device usage.

Built from the ground up to cut costs, Phoenix offers the option to:

  • Find the most cost effective layouts by searching across millions of combinations in minutes
  • Use fine grained item control and a rich set of dynamic marks to create print-ready layouts with ease
  • Fully automate Phoenix with Enfocus Switch, Hot-folders or a custom REST-based client

Phoenix is designed to work with both square-cut and irregular shape designs, in addition to all types of printed products such as:

  • Packaging and Labels
  • Commercial print and Book work
  • Wide Format
  • Tags
  • Cards

Key Features in Tilia Phoenix

Intent based planning

Phoenix will model your company and all the systems in it, such as:

  • Order details (quantity, inks, bleed, etc)
  • Presses (costs, capabilities and marks)
  • Substrate (type, grade and cost)
  • Post-press considerations and costs
  • Plate costs

Devices: One size fits all

Phoenix is designed to work with Offset, Digital, Wide Format and multiple presses at once.

Ganged layouts

Using existing dies or “Standing dies”, Phoenix can generate ganged layouts that are guaranteed to match your post-press processes already set up.

Sheet and Plate marks

Phoenix offers a rich set of dynamic Sheet and Plate marks specifically designed to go in the right place with the right inks and text – every time!

CAD Layouts

If you work with existing CAD layouts, perform seamless repeats, square-cut or nested layouts directly from artwork – Phoenix offers the right tool for you to create print-ready Layouts in no time at all!

New Features in Tilia Phoenix 8.0

Work and Turn / Work and Tumble

Create (manually and through Imposition AI) Work and Turn or Work and Tumble layouts.

Drag & Drop Interface

Separations view

Automatic Ink coverage calculation
