Automation that actually ships.
One engineer. 19 years in prepress. I support your AE and Cloudflow, build the integrations connecting them to your MIS, or lead your team on a fractional basis. Depending on what you need.
What Print With Synergy does.

Embedded in your team — architecture, integration design, hands-on builds, code review, team mentoring. Proactive, not reactive.
- Architecture, integration design, hands-on builds
- Code review and standards enforcement
- Team mentoring and knowledge transfer
Everything available to run. No lock-in.
- You get the source
Custom dev on the PWS stack is delivered with full source code. No proprietary runtime, no vendor-locked config format.
- Maintain it independently
If PWS disappears tomorrow, you have the right to run it and hire anyone you want to maintain it.
- No software fees
The PWS stack itself is zero-cost. You pay for implementation and support — not a per-seat license that grows with your headcount.
- Source-delivered
Custom dev is delivered with full source code. You can maintain it, extend it, or hire anyone you want to work on it.
What prepress shops say about vendor support costs.
They charge what they can get away with. Negotiate aggressively.
The maintenance contract comes up every year and is a sticking point with upper management.
The purchase price of the licenses should cover support. Unfortunately it doesn't.
Eight tools. Built for prepress.
Lint, Codex, Lens, Assay, Atlas, Trove, Collate, Compile — the same tools I use in client engagements, built to augment the stack you already run.
