[Success Story] AccurioPro Flux brings web-to-print self-service to the University of Miskolc

With bizhub PRO presses and AccurioPro Flux Ultimate, the University of Miskolc turned a costly, offset-based print room into a lean on-demand operation: students, lecturers and external customers order online, and the jobs go straight into production.

The University of Miskolc is one of the largest higher education institutions in northern Hungary. Its central, in-house print room supplies the whole campus with lecture notes, handbooks and examination forms, marketing material and student magazines. For years the department relied on inflexible offset technology built for long runs, which no longer met today's requirements.

The challenge

  • Offset technology for long runs, with stock that quickly went out of date, a lot of paper waste and high storage and operating costs
  • Inefficient, time-consuming processes that needed seven staff
  • No simple way for internal users to order print when they needed it, or to have it reprinted

The solution

  • Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6000 digital color press with SD-506 finisher
  • Konica Minolta bizhub PRO 1051 monochrome press with SD-506 finisher
  • AccurioPro Flux Ultimate, our print workflow software with integrated web-to-print

At the center of the new setup is AccurioPro Flux Ultimate and its web-to-print portal. Students, lecturers and external customers submit their jobs directly through the university's online portal. Each job reaches the central print room with format, quantity, paper and finishing already defined, so the operators no longer have to set it up from scratch.

AccurioPro Flux runs the whole process, from submission through the online portal to production in the central print room. The result is genuine on-demand production: the university prints what it needs, when it needs it.

The benefits for the customer

  • Cost savings of up to 40%
  • Print room staff reduced from seven to four
  • Self-service online ordering for students, lecturers and external customers
  • Much less paper waste and storage space, thanks to on-demand production
  • Flexible production in small quantities and in much better quality
  • A print room that now also serves external customers and runs as a profit center

With AccurioPro Flux Ultimate and the Konica Minolta presses, the University of Miskolc has replaced rigid, resource-intensive offset production with a connected self-service workflow. Costs are down, the print room runs with fewer staff, and a pure cost factor has become a modern service for students, lecturers and external customers.
