Krino is commercial print software for Australian printers running litho, digital and finishing under one roof. Quote complex jobs reliably, schedule production you can depend on, and manage the whole shop from one live source of truth. It is modern, genuinely easy to use, and priced as one flat fee with no per-user charges.
Commercial work has more moving parts than most: stocks, plates, make-ready, click charges, multiple finishing steps and outwork all land in a single quote. Get one of them wrong and the margin you thought you had disappears at invoice time. Krino builds estimates from your real costs and processes, so a saddle-stitched booklet, a run of business stationery and a short digital run are each priced on the numbers that matter. Save products and specifications as templates, quote in minutes, and send prices you can stand behind. For the underlying method, our guide to pricing print jobs lays out the logic.
A print shop lives on its schedule. When the plan is a whiteboard or a spreadsheet, one urgent reprint throws the whole day out and nobody downstream knows. Krino gives you production scheduling that keeps litho, digital and finishing in sync, so you can see load across the shop, spot bottlenecks before they bite, and give customers delivery dates you will actually hit. When priorities change, you adjust the plan and the floor sees it straight away.
This is where Krino pulls ahead of older systems. Built-in AI automation speeds up quoting, batches similar jobs and helps plan the day, doing the repetitive scheduling and estimating work that used to need a dedicated planner. It runs quietly in the background, so your team spends less time shuffling jobs and more time producing them. No Australian competitor markets this kind of intelligence as standard.
On a busy commercial floor, jobs move fast and in parallel, and a single misplaced ticket can hold up a delivery. Krino shows the status of every job at a glance, so you know what is on plate, what is on press, what is in finishing and what is packed and ready. Your counter staff can answer a where-is-my-job call in seconds instead of walking the floor, and nothing quietly stalls between departments.
Plenty of print MIS software feels like it was built two decades ago, and getting staff to use it is half the battle. Krino has a clean, modern interface that people pick up quickly, whether they are on the counter, at a press or in the office. Less training, fewer mistakes, and a system your team reaches for instead of working around. And because pricing is one flat fee with no per-seat cost, you can put everyone on it without the bill climbing every time you add a person.
When quoting, scheduling, job tracking and invoicing live in separate places, information falls through the cracks and someone spends their day rekeying it. Krino keeps the entire job in one system, from the first enquiry to the paid invoice, with native Xero integration so approved invoices flow into your accounts without double entry. Everyone, from the estimator to the bindery, works from the same live picture, which means fewer surprises and less chasing.
As volume climbs, the shops that stay profitable are the ones that do not need a bigger office to push more work through. Because Krino automates the repetitive quoting and scheduling and keeps everything in one system, you can take on more jobs without adding admin headcount for every uptick. That is leverage that goes straight to your bottom line, and it is part of the flat price rather than sold as another module. Predictable pricing also makes planning easier, since your software cost does not jump every time the shop gets busier.
If you are weighing up your options, it helps to see the difference side by side. Our Krino versus PrintIQ comparison shows how a modern, AI-first system with flat pricing stacks up against the traditional enterprise approach, especially for small and mid-sized shops that want capability without the complexity and per-user cost.
Yes. Krino quotes and schedules litho, digital and finishing together, so a shop running mixed processes manages everything from one system rather than juggling separate tools.
Yes. Krino is built for small and mid-sized Australian printers. The flat price and included AI give a smaller shop the same costing and scheduling power as a large trade house, without enterprise pricing.
Krino combines a modern, easy-to-use interface with built-in AI automation and one flat price. You get faster quoting and smarter scheduling as standard, not as costly add-ons bolted onto a dated system.
