Changing With the Times
To address this new reality, we decided to embrace the challenge of overhauling our workflow. As a result, we have implemented a good number of systems and technological tools that will help us take our operation into the future.
Virtual Job Tickets and Proofs
Since job tickets could no longer be hand delivered to our production area, we used our Avanti Print Shop MIS to send e-mail alerts when a job was ready for production. The message contained a direct link to a PDF ticket and a link to the job folder with all files related to the print run. The PDF ticket included a digital color flag indicating the job priority level; prior to this, we were using hand-applied color stickers.
