Creating and Managing Print Batches for DTF Integration
Introduction
This guide covers the process of creating and managing print batches, specifically for Direct-to-Film (DTF) integration. By following these instructions, you will learn how to select and prioritize jobs, create job batches, and manage single and multi-print batches efficiently.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Accessing the Batch Section
First, navigate to the batch section of the system to clear out previous selections. Refresh the page to start with a clean slate.
Selecting the Integration Type
Specify the integration type by selecting "DTF" from the available options. This will display the list of available jobs for the DTF integration.
Prioritizing Accounts
Select the specific accounts you want to prioritize. In this example, one account is prioritized above others.
Setting Job Priorities
Adjust job priorities as needed. You can choose to process rush orders first, batch small orders together, or prioritize based on shipping speed.
Selecting an Employee
Choose an employee to assign the jobs. In this example, the employee "Crystal" is selected to manage the batch.
Creating Job Batches
Load the jobs and create a job batch. The system will automatically generate two print batches for the order.
Understanding Print Batches
The first print batch is a single print batch, while the second is a multi-print batch. These batches will be printed in different ways to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
Managing Multi-Print Batches
Multi-print batches contain jobs with multiple decorations, such as front and back prints. They are organized to keep these decorations together during the printing process.
Conclusion
By following this guide, you should now be able to efficiently create and manage print batches for DTF integration. The process includes selecting priorities, creating job batches, and understanding the differences between single and multi-print batches. These steps ensure that your print jobs are handled smoothly and accurately from start to finish.
