What is PrintShop Mail Web?
PrintShop Mail Web is a companion extension to the PrintShop Mail Design module. It supports multi-user printing from Print-
Shop Mail Design with the added benefit of a web interface for automating and managing document templates. PrintShop Mail
Web is the perfect module for organizations where multiple users can create and/or manage document templates and facil-
itates their publication enterprise-wide to a web interface. Its web capability allows real-time, 24/7 online modification, order-
ing and production of repetitive, promotional and personalized documents created with PrintShop Mail Design as well as static
PDF files. It's the ideal solution for any business that has remote workers or offices typically retail outlets, franchises and
dealerships.
Users can upload an image for local personalization and modify the text based on pre-defined variable fields. Once the doc-
ument is ready, users validate and pre-flight their print run and initiate the ordering process. With permissions and access
rights that can be set per user, PrintShop Mail Web allows companies to adapt the verification process of submitted documents
based on their business rules.
PrintShop Mail Web is also a fully functional web front for print shops that want to give their clients the ability to order doc-
uments, whether these clients are part of a known company or are one-time users from the web. With the B2Cfunctionality,
anyone can create and pay for their orders directly from the web interface (requires separate B2Clicense).
