Large format digital printing, alone, is not enough to keep those good customers from looking around, though a different method of ordering graphics can advance the goals of the marketing team, which may lead to something. Web-based solutions maybe the ticket in the search for value-added services.  \nHow can we change the purchasing dynamics for a sector of clients? Can we drive print business in a way different than the classic bid, send file, proof and print? The answer is absolutely. Some business is better handled personally, and conversely, another style of projects fits the Web portal workflow best. Can a scenario be created so that the client may utilize templates to create custom graphics, thus eliminating prepress and the proofing process? A Web-based solution can add value to the traditional process. Corporate identity and branding is protected by consistent use of logos, typefaces and predetermined  \nWeb-to-print (WTP) is a term that has been in use for a number of years. The scope of WTP is, at its simplest form, a“storefront” or Web portal from which to purchase static items in various quantities. Amazon is the most noteworthy example, and many printers have storefronts todo the same. Basically, it could be a Web-enabled “project input” site: Fill in information, get a quote, upload your file, and pay for the activity. The ability to view work in process may be possible. At the other end of the spectrum are variable data projects in which clients can choose templates and upload variable information (addresses, etc.) via the portal, to then receive the print-on-demand. This process tends to be used most often in the direct mail industry. Commercial webto-print applications can include both print-on-demand (POD), or pre-printed materials pulled from inventory. POD documents can have static content or include elements of variable data printing (VDP), a form of POD that is mainly used for the personalization of marketing  \nSince the software, systems and support resources are spread over a larger client base, costs can be reduced significantly.  \ndesign layouts.

Advantages of a Web-to-print system include the ability for print houses, graphic designers, corporate clients and the general public to access a private or public online catalog where real time changes to aprepress template are possible. Within this process, the client can approve the materials without the need for a face-to-face meeting with the printer. Additionally, templates allow print customers to control brand management and content, as portions of a constantly used template can remain consistent throughout a series of print projects. This system is often cost-effective for clients and time-effective for print houses. The disadvantage to this system as it exists today is that small-to mid-sized print houses are limited in their access to software and server system solutions for a Web-to-print service offering to clients.
