Global Print Sites (GPS) presents the simplest, fastest and most comprehensive e-commerce solution in online printing, and will contribute to the biggest digital output of any industry show on the continent this year during PRINT 17, this year’s largest industry show in the Americas. It combines several advanced software and technologies to expand the reach and capabilities of print sellers to every corner of the earth.
To begin worldwide service, GPS print sellers build and configure a branded web-to-print store in just three hours with company logo and color palette. Unlike typical templated sites, GPS's mobile-responsive print sites are pre-loaded with a robust product portfolio, including custom and non-custom promotional items, fully supported from an all-in-one dashboard for a faster launch than other print sites.
Features include the ability to brand hosted subsites for key customers with comprehensive marketing support. The subscription model provides a freemium version for quick entry into the market and an enterprise version that includes unlimited branded subsites.
Its most notable feature is an integrated print customization tool with cutting-edge 3D proofer and PDF builder. Its ability to display the product’s physical characteristics online delivers an unparalleled UX experience.
Powered by DaVinci, the built-in software renders realistic 3D proofs of special embossed finishes like spot UV, foil and texture. End-users preview everything from custom cuts to specialty finishes online in a digital proof. Real-time editing capabilities let end-users instantly adjust design files before going to print.
The interactive technology also animates folding and unfolding of packaging designs and other 3D objects with a full 360-degree viewing. This unique true-to-life visualization eliminates the need for costly physical proofs, enhances the customer experience, shortens the sales cycle and reduces the time to market.
GPS print sellers are automatically registered as members of InkRouter, a print procurement network and API software. The network virtually expands product offerings for print sellers of any size or capability without requiring a physical inventory, special printing equipment or even physical print facility. With every print order, InkRouter's API finds the lowest landed cost for the project in any location within the network of registered print providers.
Through the global network, GPS print sellers are equipped with an extensible print site capable of serving a multinational client base. By leveraging the capabilities of existing print manufacturers, GPS print sellers can produce any product in-country, significantly reducing print time and shipping costs.
RentAPress.com presents a successful working model of a custom branded GPS print site without a physical print facility offering a full range of popular products to wholesale trade print clients.
Equipped with DaVinci's print customization tool and supported by InkRouter's global network, Global Print Sites is one of the most comprehensive web-to-print solutions to connect to clients everywhere from anywhere. It offers a perfect solution for print houses expanding their online presence or print brokers adding print to their product offerings.
