On-line templating solutions are fairly common nowadays as they are a truly excellent solution for the jobs they are suited to. Templating is most commonly used for business cards and ads but is suited to any repeat work with changing details like reseller’s brochures, branch office stationary, newsletters and postcards.

Templating involves the creation of the design template that is loaded onto the website, generally with the style and graphical elements hard wired into the template. Authorised users log-in to the site and enter or change their details on the template whilst the template handles all styling, the user when finished requests a PDF proof, then after approval fills out a job ticket to order the print job.

Templates are a pain to set-up but are fantastic for slight variations of a commonly printed central theme. They are ideal for far flung operations with an extra benefit that they do not require any graphic skills in the slightest by the users.
