Julia Cole, marketing manager, UK and Ireland, HP, commented: “Web-to-print technology has really come of age, providing PSPs with practical solutions for their current business issues.
“The ability to streamline production, lower costs, better track jobs and reduce waste, is all achievable with a well implemented web-to-print solution in a digital print environment. Importantly, the technology is also enabling many print businesses to deliver superior customer service and develop new revenue streams – ideal recession-busting capabilities. We look forward to sharing these technologies, tips and experiences with delegates on September 17th.”
The seminar will also include a small exhibition of web-to-print solutions suppliers, featuring the TAOPIXTM album creation software from Transeo Media; DMP FLO Suite software from DMP (Digital Media Partners); creative personalisation software from DirectSmile; web-to-print templating and quoting tools from Red Tie and the HP SmartStream Director print server – providing small-to-large PSPs with an integrated and open, end-to-end workflow solution based on industry standards.
