Industries

One engine. Every kind of shop.

Most print businesses do more than one thing. Krino's formula engine prices commercial, digital, wide format, signage and finishing work from the same system, configured around how your shop actually runs.

01

Commercial and offset

Imposition-aware estimating with waste factored in before you quote.

Sheet layout previews and imposition maths run inside the quote, so the number your customer sees already accounts for how the job actually gangs up on the press. Booklet formulas handle page counts, sections and binding without a separate spreadsheet.

Flat Sheet Digital Booklet Items Per Sheet Wire Binding Guillotine
  • Annual report, 120pp perfect bound
  • Business cards, 1,000
  • Letterheads, 2,000
Waste and imposition calculated at quote time

Digital printing

Short runs quoted in minutes, with setup cost that actually lands.

Short digital runs are where margin quietly disappears. Setup swallows a job priced on click cost alone. Area and quantity formulas carry your real setup time and charge-out rate, so a run of fifty is priced as honestly as a run of five thousand.

03

Wide and large format

Tiling, linear runs and material-specific pricing across every substrate.

Area and linear assembly formulas handle tiled panels, seam allowances and per-substrate pricing. Because the material library carries live cost and stock, a vinyl price rise shows up in your next quote rather than three months of thinner margins.

Signage and sign shops

Priced from fabrication through to the install on site.

Sign rail and frame hanging formulas cover fabrication. Install operations price the truck, the crew and the hours on site. The job stays one record from quote to sign-off, and AI scheduling batches similar signage so the shop is not reconfiguring between every job.

  • Real estate agent boards

  • Illuminated pylon sign

Specialty and finishing

Foiling, die-cutting and embossing, costed rather than guessed.

Finishing is usually the line item that gets rounded. Dedicated operation formulas give foiling, die-cutting, embossing, laminating and guillotine work their own setup and run rates, and the Material Compatibility Agent flags an odd stock-and-process pairing before it reaches pre-press.

  • Foiled invitations

  • Embossed letterheads
Compatibility checked before it hits the floor

Coverage

Which operation formulas your shop will use.

Eighteen operation formulas price the work itself, each with its own setup time, run rate and charge-out rate. Most shops span two or three of these industries, and Krino handles the overlap without a second system.

Plus 15 material formulas, including sheet nesting, nested cut, steel frame, pole and vehicle wrap. All available to every industry.

Mixed shops

Digital on Monday, signage on Tuesday.

A quote can carry a digital run, a wide format panel and an install line, each priced by its own formula, totalled once. AI scheduling then batches the week by material, so a mixed shop stops paying for constant reconfiguration.

  • Mixed line items on a single quote and job
  • Material batching across production types
  • One margin view over the whole shop
  • Per-industry templates configured during onboarding
