Version two of Agfa Graphics’ Apogee StoreFront, the cloud-based web to print solution, is now available featuring support for variable data processing and documents of different sizes.
Thanks to the tight integration with both Apogee Prepress and the new Asanti Production workflow, it avoids double data entry both for commercial printing sites and for wide format inkjet printers.
‘Apogee StoreFront is a prime example of how Agfa Graphics is taking its know-how in workflow automation and web portals to the wide format printing market. It is the most cost-efficient way for Print Service Providers (PSPs) to take advantage of new technologies and market their services to a wider audience online,’ said Andy Grant, head of software.
The software features support for B2B e-commerce, including personalised address books and support for custom domain names. Orders can now be partially approved or shipped, an added value that PSPs can offer.
Variable data processing makes it easier to create batches of personalised documents. By uploading an Excel spread sheet with contact, pricing or other content data, print buyers can order sets of customised banners, flyers, business cards or other documents.
With this new version, users can define the size of the poster they order and the program will calculate its price per square meter or square foot immediately. This offers increased flexibility for online orders in conjunction with Asanti Production for wide format printers.
