Things to consider when choosing a Web-to-print system
|
There is a dizzying array of Web-to-print systems available today!
Choosing the right one for your particular situation can be a
daunting task.
You will need to make a lot of decisions. For example:
- Do you want to run the software on your own server, or,
conversely, do you want to subscribe to a Web-to-print
service that is hosted by another company?
- Will you be designing and creating the documents
yourself, or will you need to hire someone
to do it?
- Will you be printing the documents yourself, or will
you need to hire someone to do it?
- Will your documents be static or variable?
- If your documents will be variable, where will the
variable input come from?
- Do you want customers to be able to modify the
formatting of the documents?
- Do you need a system with digital-asset-management capabilities
for dealing with libraries of graphics?
- Do you need an order-management system so that you
and/or your customers can view order status, order history, etc.?
- Do you need to set things up so that customers
can pay for their orders with credit cards?
- Last, but certainly not least: how much can you expect to pay?

Buyer beware!
|
Web-to-Print technology is young,
and some companies are offering Web-to-Print systems
that don't work very well.
Our company has been involved with on-demand printing and
variable-data printing
since the 1980s, and because of that we know what to
look for in a Web-to-print system when it comes to quality
and value. We’ve chosen to partner with companies that
have well-designed, robust systems that are based on
mature technology and are reasonably priced.
We encourage you to allow us to help guide your decision-making process.
We are here to assist you! As stated above, our consulting
service is FREE — so don't hesitate to call us to discuss your ideas and goals. You can
reach us at 508-436-2543.
