Digital Print Workflows for Start-up

[t.zone]

Let's say you and a couple of guys from work want to start a simple digital print facility in your garage. You have an in road on some perfect bound book jobs, and those could make up a majority of your work. You will not be limiting your products to perfect bound books however. You need a complete workflow solution, what do you do? What will you need? Online quoting, ordering and tracking, file submission, job tickets, automated preflight, queue management, shipping, invoicing, DAM, inventory management?

The good news is you have a clean slate, no legacy systems to worry about.

What low cost workflow solution would you choose to get yourself off the ground?

DMP FLO would be a great choice. Built in preflight & correction using Callas pdfToolbox, automated image enhancement with Elpical Claro, product ordering, product catalogs, custom branding, built on top of InDesign Server. It's a great system. If you want a demo or need specific information please let me know. They are here in the US right now and can answer all of your questions.
