Streamline the Sale and Manufacture of Imprinted Documents
The manufacture of imprinted documents poses many interesting production
challenges. Since every individual document can conceivably be unique, the economies of
long runs disappear, and the opportunities to fail multiply with each variable that has to
be managed. For short run manufacturing, the overhead to simply process an order is a
significant issue.
Profitability is the question. Amgraf’s software technology to web-enable
client-side order entry, and automate the in-plant prepress workflow, is the answer.
Many corporate print buyers already rely on Internet technology to order standard
products, and to track the status of accounts, purchases, and shipments. Professional print
manufacturers must respond to this trend if they are to remain a supplier in the future.
With Amgraf’s online ordering solutions, customers can easily key in and position their variable information. All
imprint data is entered, verified, and proofed immediately by the client who
sees an exact replica of his imprinted document, including choices of ink
color, paper stock, fonts, and any other variables that are authorized. Logos
and photos can be uploaded, inserted, resized and positioned within the
online design file.

Within the printing plant, orders are collected and sorted by customer, product type, due date, paper stocks, ink colors, quantities, and many other factors. The production manager can then choose which products to run, and select the printing systems (traditional or digital) and plate configurations to utilize for a batch of products.

Individual orders can be imposed together to make the most efficient use of materials and machines. Once orders are selected for processing, they can be proofed using PDF, or immediately output to the appropriate printing system.

If digital color printing systems are available, mixes of orders can be produced on a single sheet, or roll, ready for post-processing. Shipping labels can also be automatically printed at the top of each stack of printed product.
