Web4Print for catalogue production

Web4Print for automated publishing solutions

Web4Print is a powerful page composition engine and we can provide automated solutions for publications where the data would be coming from databases and spreadsheets. One example of this is Catalogue production. Instead of a user accessing the server and choosing or supplying images and text (like our more typical Web4Print applications), the Web4Print server will read the contents of a simple spreadsheet, including links to any graphics, descriptive text, prices, etc., and then compose the pages automatically.

 

Spreadsheet containing all the data
necessary to compose catalogue pages

 

For every new catalogue, the spreadsheet is updated and the new pages are automatically composed and ready to print. Every page is generated using a Web4Print template; as many templates as are necessary can be used and specified via the spreadsheet for that catalogue issue. For instance, you might have pages with varying numbers of products, full-page ads, variations for layouts for front and back covers, and so on.

Spreadsheet data specifies all the page components
which are then automatically assembled

Demo

Catalogue production
Our catalogue page demo allows the user to select color scheme and products and enter prices.

Note that in a live production setting, for each new publication the user would be updating a spreadsheet with the revised data that would then be fed to the Web4Print Server for automated output of pages.
