Consolidated Graphics and Blurb Delivering Integrated Print-on-Demand Workflow

HOUSTON/NEW ORLEANS—April 18, 2012—Consolidated Graphics announced it is partnering with Blurb, the creative publishing and marketing platform, to enable businesses to create custom publications from a simple, yet powerful, design-to-print workflow powered by Blurb.

The new service, called Publish, utilizes a free Adobe InDesign plug-in that allows businesses to extend the use of their preferred design software to become an end-to-end print workflow solution for high-quality publications. The plug-in includes templates for four cover formats, five paper types, and eight trim sizes—including Blurb’s all-new 8.5x11˝ size, which is exclusive to Publish. Publish also enables designers to complete their projects up to 75 percent faster using Blurb’s custom proofing tools, automated preflight checks, and the ability to order via credit card from within the interface.
