printChannel.com Announces myprintChannel(TM)

Press release from the issuing company

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, printChannel.com recently announced that it will unveil a customizable version of its printChannel online print procurement application at Seybold Seminars 2000 in San Francisco. Titled myprintChannel, this release of the online service leverages the architecture of printChannel, the company's highly successful online print procurement application, by letting print vendors design their own look and feel for the printChannel ordering workflow. myprintChannel will be available in the fourth quarter of 2000. printChannel is a highly scalable online print processing solution that lets print vendors offer customers end-to-end online order processing, proofing, and automated impositioning through a standard Web browser and Internet connection. "myprintChannel is a milestone for us and in the evolution of e-commerce for commercial print vendors," says Oliver Pflug, CEO of printChannel.com. "It is the first and only e-commerce application that lets vendors control the look and feel of a commercially available print procurement system. myprintChannel extends our vision that print e-commerce vendors should not insert themselves into buyer-vendor relationships. With myprintChannel, we are taking a huge step in making our solution invisible to the end user. Giving print vendors the ability to truly re-brand the printChannel.com's e-procurement solution reinforces our position as the standard for online print processing for commercial print vendors worldwide," adds Pflug. myprintChannel lets print vendors and their customers configure the printChannel workflow screen in accordance with their own internal Web site designs. Once the site is configured, the user's experience is virtually indistinguishable from being on the print vendor's own Web site, or on the user's corporate Intranet. myprintChannel is a premium version of the standard printChannel application for print vendors who want control over the interface they offer their customers. Following a simple, documented specification, print vendors can design their own HTML layouts, upload them through a browser onto the printChannel system, and replace the standard printChannel screens, creating in effect an OEM version of the printChannel workflow. printChannel.com, which does not sell or broker printing and does not sell to corporate print buyers, is the leading vendor of Web-based print processing solutions to commercial print vendors, including manufacturers, distributors, and brokers. printChannel.com's customers have implemented close to 400 corporations on the printChannel system worldwide, and processed over 130,000 production orders since the service went live in April of 1998. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California. For more information about printChannel.com and its online print processing solution call 415-644-3399, or visit www.printChannel.com.
