InSite Prepress Portal
Description
The InSite Prepress Portal System is a powerful Internet portal designed to streamline print production and the processes of job submission, collaboration, proofing, and job-status tracking. It reduces turnaround times, lowers proofing costs, enhances customer communication, and offers exceptional visibility into the production process.
Secure and convenient online access to print jobs
The INSITE Prepress Portal System provides your customers with secure, controlled Web access to their print jobs. It enables you and your customers to: upload and download jobs and job data; proof online with geographically dispersed users collaborating simultaneously; append annotations or comments; approve or reject pages; manage information; and access job status over the Internet using a standard browser.
Customer service representatives handling print accounts can manage client information, add or remove participants, and receive optional e-mail notification for each change. Print buyers anywhere benefit by having real-time knowledge of their job's status within the prepress environment.
Improving communication with customers reduces errors
The INSITE Prepress Portal System improves communication between you and your customers. Compared with conventional methods, cycle times are shorter and you end up with fewer errors. The customer's changes, annotations, requests, or comments are visible to your staff, helping reduce miscommunication and the number of reprints.
Web-based proofing shortens lead times and lowers costs
The INSITE Prepress Portal System shortens lead times and reduces material and courier costs by bypassing hard-copy content-proofing cycles. All job information is visible in real time and accessible from anywhere over the Web.
Robust and secure online job submission
Print buyers can use the INSITE Prepress Portal System to quickly provide job data without the need to create and courier media. Secure access helps ensure only authorized users have access to your print jobs. Online job submission also provides greater flexibility in dealing with late-closing pages or last-minute changes.
