Print Services
Overview of Print Services
What are print services for? Why should you use them?
Defining the pre-printing, printing, and post-
printing services available to buyers when
ordering print products. To give buyers the option of selecting from all
of the available print and finishing options you
are capable of providing.
Print Services are the features and services (pre-printing, printing, post-printing) that you make
available to customers when ordering products. Print services represent the variety of printing,
finishing, and output options a Print Shop is capable of producing given its equipment (i.e., the Print
Shop’s capabilities). Digital StoreFront ships with a pre-defined set of print services designed to cover
the capabilities of many print shops and in-plants.
Print services are non-media product options such as stapling, binding, and laminating, and in
some cases they are mapped into EFI products such as the MicroPress and Fiery devices so they can be
produced automatically.
Print services are of two main types:
● Standard—These print services are pre-installed in Digital StoreFront, and most are automatically
mapped into job tickets that can be read by certain print devices (e.g., Fiery, MicroPress, Balance).
● Custom—You can add custom print services to a print shop’s job ticket to reflect additional services
available to customers. These print services will require manual pre- or postprint intervention.
In some cases two names will be used for essentially the same service (e.g., trimming and
cutting). This is to maintain legacy support for those who have been using older versions.
