"The Press-sense suite will help our customers reach a wider client-base by making their printing services available over the Web. The convenience of buying print over the Web 24 hours/7 days a week will help drive more business to the print service provider and push more work through their Presstek digital device, whether it is a highly automated DI(R) digital offset press or a chemistry- free computer-to-plate system."

Presstek adds the Press-sense suite to its Momentum workflow solutions. Press-sense iWay(TM) and Momentum workflow solutions can easily be linked for maximum automation. In addition to Press-sense iWay, Presstek will be offering Press-sense Manager(TM), a straightforward print management solution, which together with Press-sense iWay automates and unifies on-line and off-line business. Press-sense iWay and Press-sense Manager are available immediately from Presstek.

Our solutions offer Presstek customers another avenue for bringing in work, while increasing margins though the enhanced automation of its operations," said Elly Perets, Press-sense Vice President of Sales. "Press-sense iWay and Press-sense Manager are a complete Business Flow Automation, workflow and tracking system that seamlessly integrates the entire process from a request for a quote all the way through to delivery and billing in one, out-of-the-box solution. Our solutions are geared towards print on demand print service providers in offset, digital and hybrid environments.
