Taking the Job Ticket Digital

Clearly, then, the electronic job ticket has significant advantages over the time-honored paper system, when it comes to updating critical information. In this respect, today's digital job ticket renders the more mundane, yet well-proven, paper trail a bit obsolete.

"It's impractical to think that an employee at a busy commercial printing company can just view the electronic job ticket and be able to complete complex operations on any given print job without referring back to the job ticket several times," admits Dennis Stroud, vice president of sales and marketing at Norwalk, CT-based Programmed Solutions. "This is why investing in a printer and a monitor to view the electronic job ticket throughout the production process deserves serious consideration."
