Color/Quality Control - Software

West Press is a one-stop shop offering graphic design, database/list management, printed marketing collateral, training manuals with instructional CDs or DVDs, full-color envelopes, as well as finishing, mailing and fulfillment services.

The workflow concept is being extended even further to achieve a continuum of production capabilities that can span from digital (toner and ink-jet, including wide-format) through sheetfed and web offset printing. This means having an integrated workflow that can feed all of the printing platforms, as well as implementing color management and having substrates available to “match” the printed results across the board.

The Marek Group has more than 170 employees and provides a variety of offset and digital printing, as well as Web-to-print capabilities, to a wide range of industries. Offering a broad range of printing applications has rewarded the shop with a loyal customer base.

In a difficult economy, executives are focused on delivering ROI for every dollar that they spend. This includes all forms of business communications: marketing, product support materials and transaction documents, and translates into just in time, zero inventory documentation. 

Join Printing Impressions, Barb Pellow and RISO on April 16 for this webinar, where we'll show you specific examples of how service providers are using digital technology to deliver ROI driven business communications programs.

You'll hear about:
* Using relevant communications that capture the recipient's attention and support new customer acquisition
* Optimization of cross selling opportunities
* Programs that enhance customer loyalty
* And more
