In the world of printing and mailing, every second counts. Setup times for printers, inserters, and other equipment can range from 5 to 30 minutes per job. While that might seem like a drop in the bucket, the cumulative impact over tens or even hundreds of jobs per day becomes significant. Enter Alchem-e Batch – a revolutionary tool designed to streamline operations and unlock significant cost savings.
Why Combine Jobs?
Printers strive to combine jobs because it’s one of the most effective ways to cut down on repetitive setups. Imagine resetting your equipment 10, 50, or even 100 times a day. Those five-to-thirty-minute intervals quickly add up, consuming valuable production time and driving up costs.
Historically, job batching has been recognized as a powerful way to improve efficiency, but it’s been notoriously difficult to implement. Why? Traditional batching often requires:
- Custom coding: Tailor-made scripts to automate processes.
- Automation expertise: Skilled developers to create and manage these scripts.
- Lack of user-friendly tools: Few commercially available solutions have made batching accessible to all.
This gap has left many print shops and commercial printers struggling to reap the full benefits of batching… until now.

The ROI You Can Expect
Here’s where it gets exciting: the return on investment (ROI) for Alchem-e Batch is not just compelling – it’s undeniable.
