4. Printgroove JT Web, applications
Printgroove JT Web
Web-based printing with efficiency and convenience
Following the rapid progress of the internet in the last decade, web-2-print has evolved into a preferred medium
for ordering, submitting and organising print jobs. With more than 10 years of market availability, Printgroove
JT Web is a highly developed software solution for secure 24/7 web submission of print jobs on job ticket basis –
irrespective of location, data format or type of printer hardware.
As print providers face ever more workflow challenges due to increased job complexity, faster turnaround
times, shorter run lengths, and increasing demand for web-based services, they are required to implement
streamlined workflows and offer higher-margin value-added services in order to generate new revenue streams.
Web-2-print is the ideal option for any print provider looking to expand his business operations, improve efficiencies, reduce costs and enhance customer relations.
