Quotes rebuilt every time
Paper rate, plates, printing and lamination live in someone’s head. The next quote starts from a blank sheet.
Why MinePress
Generic software does not know a printing job
Accounting tools can raise a GST invoice. They do not know GSM, plates, impressions, binding or a gate pass. MinePress is written for that work.
Jobs lost between desks
Design is on one chat, the machine diary is on paper, and dispatch finds out when the customer is at the gate.
Paper stock that lies
A ream issued to a job is still showing in the godown, so purchasing buys again or a machine waits.
Profit seen too late
The bill goes out. Whether make-ready and finishing ate the margin shows up only at month end, if at all.
The estimate already knows the job
Paper, plates and machine impressions are on the quote. A generic invoice cannot show that breakdown.

Technology
Serious software, deployable where you work
MinePress is an ASP.NET Core Blazor application on .NET 9. PostgreSQL holds the data. SignalR pushes live job updates. Hangfire runs background work. Polly keeps external calls resilient. Docker packages it for Linux and Ubuntu, on your server, a cloud host or a VPS.
- Your data can stay on a machine you control
- Real-time production status for the office
- Background jobs for work that should not block the floor
- A current Microsoft stack your IT team can host
Deploy Anywhere
Own server, cloud or VPS. Docker, Linux and Ubuntu, so a press group is not forced into one hosting style.
