“DynamicsPrint® with IMP is the heart of our planning estimations and imposition systems.
Estimating has become an important science. Our young estimators can deliver accurate plans just as an experienced estimator, with loads of experience, would.”

“The reason we chose DP was because it’s an industry solution which solves many of the problems we had in the standard Microsoft Dynamics setup. Also, there was demand from the management to have final costing, which was also a major challenge in the standard Dynamics solution.
DynamicsPrint® also helps us greatly with scheduling and shop floor management. The data gathered gives us great insights, and results in a much more cost-efficient production.”
Jochem Sants, Project Manager

“The professional and highly skilled DynamicsPrint® team led the implementation to develop the expertise internally at DCM with a team of Subject Matter Experts from each of the specialized print production areas. DynamicsPrint’s expertise regarding the system and the industry was instrumental to ensuring the configurations were done properly. As this is a highly configurable solution, the approach and implementation was very well structured and ensured that the team worked from the basic setups to the more complex setups with a pace that was manageable and retainable.
DynamicsPrint® adjusted the resource requirements to accommodate both technical and functional areas of expertise as needed throughout the project, providing best practice directives to ensure that the proper approach was being followed.”

“I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with DynamicsPrint® and the support you have given KP San Leandro since our launch. The seemingly endless set of tools available really help us run and improve our business.
The visibility into job statuses, P&L, and the ability to create and manage cues that give our team a personalized look into their own area of responsibility have become essential to our business model. I can’t even imagine going back to our old system. Thanks to the DynamicsPrint® team for all your help and support.”

Artificial intelligence continues to dominate conversations across the printing and packaging industry. Yet despite the excitement, many organizations are still asking the same question:
How do we implement AI in a way that creates real business value?
A recent PRINTING United Alliance webinar, AI in the Print Shop: Beyond the Hype, offered a refreshingly practical answer.
The speakers emphasized that AI should not replace experienced print professionals. Instead, it should augment their expertise by helping them process information faster, automate repetitive work, and make better-informed decisions.
That distinction is critical.
AI Is Only as Good as the Data Behind It
One of the webinar’s strongest messages was that successful AI implementation begins long before an organization deploys its first AI model.
Businesses need to understand:
Without this foundation, AI introduces risk rather than reducing it.
Why ERP Matters More Than Ever
For many printing companies, operational data is spread across multiple systems.
Estimating lives in one application.
Scheduling in another.
Inventory somewhere else.
Financial data in the ERP.
Disconnected systems make it difficult for AI to generate meaningful insights because there is no single source of truth.
That’s one of the reasons DynamicsPrint® is built natively inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management.
By bringing estimating, production planning, scheduling, inventory, shop floor control, procurement, finance, and analytics together on a single Microsoft platform, organizations create the trusted data foundation that modern AI depends on.
Ask Better Questions
The webinar also encouraged organizations to challenge AI vendors rather than being impressed by polished demonstrations.
Questions such as:
These are practical questions that every print business should be asking.
AI Should Fit Your Business, Not the Other Way Around
At DynamicsPrint®, we believe AI should solve real operational challenges, not simply add another layer of technology.
Whether it’s improving forecasting, automating procurement, supporting scheduling decisions, or helping finance teams identify anomalies, AI should always be built on connected, reliable business data.
That’s why we’ve established a dedicated AI team to continuously expand our capabilities while leveraging Microsoft’s rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.
The future of AI in print won’t be defined by the number of AI features a solution offers.
It will be defined by how well those features are integrated into everyday business processes and how much value they create for the people using them.
