Driving The Digital Route

Today, the in-plant is transitioning from hard copy to digital submission, and the shop's 4,000 customers have a couple of digital routes to send jobs to the in-plant. For stationery and business cards, the shop maintains a Web site where customers can re-order with only a few clicks on the keyboard. The information then resides on the file server, which service reps check every day for new orders to be forwarded to prepress. At prepress, the information is cut and pasted into a PageMaker template, which is then sent to a Panther platesetter.
