• Dynamic Preview—(For Ad Hoc Products only and does not apply to the Flex ticket products)
Select to enable or disable a dynamic preview of the product. A dynamic preview provides
buyers with a virtual display of the product based on the print and finishing options and
features they select.
•
Flex Ticketing UI—Select to enable or disable an enhanced Flex interface that buyers can use on
the storefront when defining print and finishing options when ordering the product.
If you enable an existing Adhoc product to use the Flex ticketing UI introduced in Digital
StoreFront v. 5.2 (by selecting this enable option), if the existing HTML introduction text has
links to images/videos or other formatting it will not work properly.
Also be aware that any kit products that contain one or more print products with Flex
ticketing enabled will not work.
• N-Up—N-up stands for Number of pages up (2-up, 3-up, 4-up, etc.) printing. N-up printing is
printing multiple buyer-submitted pages onto a single physical sheet and then cutting them to a
specified finished size. For example, instead of using letter paper (8 1/2 by 11-inch paper), a job
can be printed with a left-side page and a right-side page on tabloid (11 by 17-inch paper) and
then cut down the middle with an industrial paper cutter.
N-up printing accommodates your production processes that print multiple pages on a
single sheet then cut to final size (the “cut and stack” model). The savings can thus be passed
on to the buyer as the Digital StoreFront pricing engine will take into account the number of
sheets and impressions involved in printing N-up. For example, say a buyer orders 400 copies
of a 16-page document. Without N-up, the pricing would be calculated on 400 x 16 = 6400
impressions and 400 x 16 (simplex sheets per job) = 6400 sheets. But if the product is set up
for 2-up printing, only 3200 impressions and 3200 sheets are used (i.e., the number of sheets
and impressions is halved). The model indirectly correlates the product cost to your cost of
production with N-up capabilities (e.g., where lower impression cost is passed on to the
buyer).
N-up outputs the N-up information to Hagen, Logic, ePace, and the External System
Connector (ESC).
N-Up should only be used for products that are very well-defined, i.e., those that have
only one choice of media size and a known finished size.
• Enabled: Check the box to activate N-up printing for the product (catalog item). Enabling N-
up pricing enables the two fields below:
•
N-Up Number of Pages (required): Type a number between 2 and 9999 to specify how
many buyer pages will fit onto the physical sheet.
