The San Joaquin Delta College Publication Center has used Web-to-print and e-commerce software to create an automated production environment.

The Center also manages Delta College's distributed fleet of copiers and printers in partnership with Ricoh and utilizes tools from EFI to assist in that process.

Work destined for the Canon imageRUNNER 125 or the Ricoh C651 is reviewed by an operator prior to being released to production.

"This might require impositioning, preparation for variable data, image correction or other actions, for which we use Command WorkStation and its Fiery Impose feature," says Andy Thomas, a computer support technician who joined the organization in 2007. "Also, of course, we want to closely monitor our color volume to make sure there is minimal or no waste associated with the color printing process and that those resources are being used appropriately."
