Fujifilm announces commercial availability of XMF Print Centre
Fujifilm has announced the commercial availability of its cloud-based web-to-print solution XMF Print Centre. Utilising its expertise in cloud-based printing from within its web-to-print photo business, which last year processed over 5m orders, the company has tailored this solution for the print industry. It aims to help printers extend the print services they offer across both offset and digital production as more business moves online.
XMF Print Centre allows a print service provider to easily create single or multiple e-commerce portals tailored to the requirements of individual or multiple customers, and supports a wide variety of static and variable data printed products. The customisable web shop allows users to very simply adapt their web shop branding for a particular target market or client, and is suitable for all print business from commercial to wide format.
John Davies, business strategy manager, workflow, Fujifilm Europe, said: “We are confident that the commercial availability of our web-to-print solution brings end users the best of both worlds: our experience of hosted cloud-based systems from other areas of the Fujifilm business coupled with our established XMF workflow technologies.”
He added: “We have had a lot of interest in the product since we announced our intention to launch at the start of the summer, and are looking forward to fulfilling these implementations in the coming weeks. XMF Print Centre is very quick to set up and deploy, typically taking just a week.”
As well as working with Fujifilm’s XMF Workflow, XMF Print Centre is also compatible with other print production workflow systems on the market.
“We believe that web-to-print systems will not replace the one-to-one relationship that printers develop with their clients for the more complex print jobs, but some of the simpler jobs will be more economical to manage via online methods. Web-to-print will most certainly have a place within all successful print service providers’ businesses," said Davies.
