Shouldn't Designers Be Able To 'Just Create' Their Print Job?

摘要

Where workflow management is unnecessary why bother to do it? Emerging technology makes it easier than ever to short-circuit many workflow areas. Users can be given the flexibility to order their jobs and receive finished articles without artificial or unnecessary delays. For example a completely up-to-date professionally printed sales catalogue can easily be produced instantly 'to order'. Control and automation can start and end at the desktop. This process is simple to manage centrally and still allows control over different categories of user. This paper covers short run implementation methodologies that give designers control from their desktop.
