MEETING THE IN-PLANT PRINT JOB SUBMISSION CHALLENGE
Against this backdrop, the job mix has evolved to become a
series of short runs on short deadlines, printed on various
substrates, and sometimes including variable data content.
Marketing materials make up an important print job category
that must be kept current to avoid becoming obsolete and
losing effectiveness. It’s a constant challenge for In-plants to
keep pace with the workload and maintain a smooth-running
operation, while minimizing waste and containing costs.

keep pace with the workload and maintain a smooth-running
operation, while minimizing waste and containing costs.
Most jobs still arrive at a typical In-plant through e-mail
(and some still on CD/DVD, USB thumb drive, or even by hand).
The Print Center staff must then manually log each job in and
queue them for preflighting and production. It’s exceedingly
slow, can lead to errors, and wastes time and money.

A great way for an In-plant to improve efficiency and
performance as well as build customer satisfaction is
to streamline the job submission and communication
processes. Job submission solutions help to optimize the
interaction between customers and print centers and help
drive increased print volumes.
