Focus on Everything But Printing: Your Manufacturing Workflow Is the Ticket
Putting ink or toner on a vast range of substrates is something PSPs do daily, and the process is getting a bit easier every year. What is not getting any easier are the operational processes required before and after printing. Pat McGrew and Ryan McAbee explain how job onboarding, proofing and approval, and invoicing are the three most consistent problem areas found during workflow assessments for every type of print service provider.
Our mission is to provide cogent commentary and analysis about trends, technologies, operations, and events in all the markets that comprise today’s printing industry. Support our mission and read articles like this with a Premium Membership.

Nailed it! Forever I've heard almost every PSP say "Printing is the easy part of this business."

Thanks, Bob! We've heard it, too, but so many PSPs say they don't know where to start. We hope this short list helps!
