In addition to delivering operational advantages as an advanced graphical interface, Instinctiv also provides machine users with a portal to DEK's online support services.
Incorporating a high level of onboard help and error recovery, Instinctiv grants users access to detailed and continually updated process and setup information, graphical tips and assistance.
