Finding Your Web-to-Print Solution
Workflow Automation: Integrating a Web storefront with production has become one of the most critical considerations when building a Web-to-print solution, especially in the digital printing arena. Most digital press vendors offer Web-to-print storefront components that tie directly into the press workflow solution. This means that projects can be delivered via the Web site, preflighted and placed directly into a print queue in front of the press.
