So why is Web to Print so important?

Web 2 Print solutions are fast becoming essential components of a digital printer’s strategies not just in terms of access, but also sales, marketing and design. The options it offers are also critical tools for overcoming the common burden of major increases in back office administration generated by high volumes of low run, low cost jobs. Most print provider’s administrative processes and conventional management information systems are suited to offset production and struggle with the demands of a digital print environment.

Enabling business through Web to Print
 

How your in-house print room can profit

In today's networked corporate environments many of the internal processes are already web-based. So why shouldn't in-house printing be as well?

Web to Print (W2P) offers in-house print rooms an exciting opportunity to enhance the efficiency, convenience and speed with which print orders can be placed and implemented. W2P enables print orders to be placed at any time because the print room is open for business 24/7. Besides, W2P makes significant savings possible – both company-wide and within the print room. As most in-house print rooms are run as profit centres, the economic advantages of W2P are particularly important.


How your business will benefit from Web to Print in the print room:
 

  • Print room open for business 24/7
  • Time and money savings
  • More efficient order processes
  • Extend service to internal customers
  • Order-tracking functionality
  • Higher degree of automation

How an in-house print room profits from Web to Print:
 

  • Costs cut
  • Profits boosted
  • Productivity increased
  • Order processes streamlined
  • Re-order print jobs easily
  • Relationships with internal customers improved
  • Number of time-consuming enquiries reduced


Cost-cutting self-service is one of the biggest benefits W2P brings to an in-house print room. Can you afford to miss out on this technology?
