"IBT (Item Batch Transfer)" is an item batch transfer software that makes it possible to streamline the creation of print items (print data) for various EDM printers.
In addition to enabling the batch generation of print items from CSV and Excel table information, it also comes equipped with convenient functions to provide strong support for the creation and management of multiple items.
Batch item generation
Print items can be generated in batch from information in a CSV or Excel table. In addition to text information, item parameters such as print density can also be specified.
Batch generation image
Import an Excel table (or CSV) that defines information for each item, such as text information and the type of form to be used, into IBT to generate print items in batch.
(Example: The generated item reflects the information in Excel #4 in the position of form #4 in the GIE)

Batch saving and transfer
Printing items generated in batches can be batch saved to EDM printer memory (SD card, CF card, USB memory) and batch transferred using the communication function.

IBT solves your problems in creating and managing print items!
Are you having trouble creating or changing print items
or managing information?
IBT can help you in these situations!
Are you having trouble creating or changing print items (print data) for your thermal transfer overprinter, or managing the information on what is printed?
IBT,” which enables batch generation and batch management of print items, can save labor and improve efficiency in the following cases. This is especially recommended for customers who need to print large amounts of information or handle a large number of products.
【Case01】
We produce a wide variety of cut vegetables,
but the production area changes frequently,
making it difficult to change the printing items...
01
Customer Issues
For products such as cut vegetables, where the origin of the raw materials changes frequently depending on the season and purchasing situation, the printing items must be changed frequently to match the origin.
When the same raw materials are used in multiple products, such as with different cut shapes or volumes, it takes a lot of effort to select the printing items to be changed, check the changes, and make the changes.
02
IBT can solve it!
With IBT, the printed contents of each product are managed together on Excel, making it easy to search for products printed with raw materials whose place of origin changes. This makes it easy to search for products printed with raw materials whose place of origin changes. To change a printed item, simply replace all the places of origin together in Excel and generate the printed item in a batch.
This greatly reduces the amount of work required to change printed items!
【Case02】
The company has decided to change all typefaces at once
in order to make the printing more legible...
01
Customer Issues
In addition to changes in printing content, changes in typefaces and layouts also require time-consuming change work when the number of products is large or the amount of information to be printed is large.
In this case, the work to change typefaces is very labor intensive because it is necessary to change typefaces for all printed items.
02
IBT can solve it!
With IBT, all you have to do is change the typeface of the form you are using and generate a batch of print items.
This greatly reduces the amount of work required to change print items!
【Case03】
We have a list of print content separate from print items,
but we are concerned about omissions
when reflecting changes to print items in the list...
01
Customer Issues
If you try to manage information about individual printing items using a separate list from the printing items, it will take time to synchronize the data and there will be a risk of errors.
Management will be particularly difficult when there are a large number of products or a large amount of information to be printed.
02
IBT can solve it!
With IBT, information on multiple print items can be managed together in a list on Excel, allowing immediate confirmation of print contents, etc. Since print items are generated from Excel, there are no inconsistencies and centralized management of print contents can be achieved easily and reliably!
In addition, with IBT, you can preview the images of the batch-generated print items on the monitor screen and print them in actual size from an office printer, making it even easier to manage the print contents.
