Corporate Express’ Print Services division is focussed on making the procurement of all your company’s print material faster, easier and more cost effective than ever before.

To help us do this we created printonline.

Developed exclusively for Corporate Express, the printonline system is a major step forward in the evolution of print management. All you need to take advantage of our system is an account with Corporate Express and Internet access. With printonline, all of your standard print products, such as business cards, letterheads, envelopes and forms, can be set up by Corporate Express as a template that can be viewed, modified, proofed and ordered on-line instantly, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

printonline also protects your company’s corporate identity, guaranteeing conformity from all of your users and the continuity of your company’s branded collateral. The template base is locked so that your standard details like company logos, telephone numbers, addresses, fonts, colours and paper stocks remain constant. Your corporate standards cannot be compromised, which, in turn, helps eliminate print errors which can result in the need for costly reprints.

So printonline means print management tasks that once took hours, and required appointments with printers’ representatives, can now be done in minutes!

To cover all of the aspects of Print, our printonline system also extends to include Digital Asset Management and Collaborative Proofing.

Digital Asset Management

Our state-of-the-art Digital Asset Management system secures file/data integrity and allows owner, client and supplier to tap into stored digital files, which can be saved and downloaded, in your selected file format. The system is a single source repository for all your digital assets including but not limited to graphics (logo’s etc), PDF files and Quark files, giving multiple access points to the one original file.

Features of the system include:

• Protection of original file integrity, eliminating duplication errors
• Product Manager Module allowing storage of text and information associated with the image
• PC and Mac compatibility
• Remote access by way of internet
• Cost efficiency due to elimination of duplicate proofs and courier costs
• Greater quality control through a single reproduction supplier
• A decrease in production time with immediate access to all resources
• Maximum security of images and data through password controls

Collaborative Proofing

The dream of an interactive web-based tracking and approval system for your digital artwork projects is made a reality with Collaborative Proofing. Leading the market in innovation, the system allows on-line approval of digital artwork, automatic communication updating project progression and the generation of specific task directives.

Corporate Express has developed the Collaborative Proofing system in-house, which makes the program extremely flexible.

Collaborative Proofing allows different people to provide input into the development of company materials such as logos, brochures and marketing material. Proofs are uploaded into the company's account and then users can view the proofs and comment on them. Tasks can also be created and assigned to specific users. Extensive e-mail integration means that users are automatically informed when changes are made to the files in a proofing project.

The benefits of this system include:

• Easy to use
• PC and Mac compatibility
• Version Control of proofs/projects ensured
• Geographic boundaries broken
• Remote access by way of internet
• Significant reduction in proofing time
• Cost efficiency due to elimination of duplicate proofs and courier costs
• History of project stored on web
