WebToPrintSoftware.com Module Comparison

Web-to-print software comes in many different flavors. Enclosed is a visual comparison of what types of web-to-print modules are available and which might best fit your firm.

Module What is it? Best Practices Utilization
Web-Based Preflight

Web-based preflight is a web-to-print module that checks your customers artwork files upon upload and dynamically displays a version of the artwork with a dynamically generated proof for approval or rejection.

The Web-based preflight module also provides specific file type checks directly upon upload, such as: dimensions, type, size and resolution.

This web-to-print module is included on all of our plans.

Web-based preflight is best used with shops that want to have their customers upload and check their artwork before it is submitted with their order.

Generally regarded as a standard need, web-based preflight is an excellent first step for a provider; better than a simple file upload.

The only disadvantage of this module, is that even if a customer file passes the preflight checks, it does not guarantee that the artwork is best suited for the press. To enable a system where a provider can send adjsuted artwork back to a user for their review of corrections or changes, the Digital Proofing tool is best.

Web-To-Print Template Personalization

Template Personalization is a powerful feature that allows print providers to upload and classify a .psd artork template and associate it with a company and contact and/or general product category. The template file is then available within the system for either the private use of the associated contact and/or public use if associated with a product category.

Web-To-Print Template Personalization is most effective when digital assets or branded assets are needed for a given client.

The web form for the customer is dynamically generated. What this means is that the customer placing the order is given a visual representation of the artwork and form fields for their personal data. This ensures that only variable data is entered, previewed and submitted.

Web-To-Print Full Online Design Online Design is a very powerful and flexible module that essentially provides the customer with an online mechanism or canvas whereby they can edit and manipulate .psd templates in real-time. The technology is based upon standard Adobe formats, and the online interface itself is geared to represent a Photoshop-like canvas, where the user can add layers, manage existing layers, adjust copy, fonts and colors and most importantly add image layers which might include a logo, photo or other imagery saved in the customers online asset library. Online Design is most commonly utilized with firms that have a large variety of publicly available template designs that they would like to enable for customers to search, select, adjust and submit. Online Design tools are also very effective in a photo application, where customers can utilize a selected background design and upload their photos, approve and submit for print.
Online Digital Proofing The Digital proofing tool is a means to allow print providers to electronically display design mock-ups and also provides a medium for allowing change requests to be logged and tracked to avoid project complications or delays. Ditial proofing is far and away the most flexible and universally used method of web-to-print. Accepting custom quote requests and providing a dynamic, personal URL for digital review of artwork are just a high-converting 1-to-1 method of customer service.
