SANTA CRUZ, Calif. January 15, 2014 PrintUI today announced its web-to-print online InDesign service has reached its 50th customer milestone. PrintUI, founded by former Adobe and print industry executives, is used by graphic and branding professionals for the centralization and customization of marketing materials including brochures, signage and ads. Customers worldwide use PrintUIs integrated hosted design application and collateral management portal to create web-to-print materials providing convenience, design flexibility, and control over brand image.
The milestone is significant for PrintUI having reached 50 customers in just 18 months, said Mark Hilton, founder and CEO of PrintUI. Since we launched PrintUIs InDesign online service we have a wide variety of customers ranging from the entertainment, retail and education industries who use our solution to manage their web-to-print workflow.

We are pleased how simple and intuitive the software performs, and how it allows our graphics team to control design and intelligently manage assets. PrintUI gives our non-designer colleagues the ability to produce brand compliant, professional materials on their own.
How it works
PrintUI uses a highly scalable and secure web-hosted (SaaS) solution for a managed web-to-print workflow. It uses a full Adobe online InDesign workflow for template creation and management. This is coupled with PrintUIs online InDesign-based server as the composition engine for generating a wide range of branded materials. These include brochures, data sheets, signage, ads, and more.
An authorized brand designer, using Adobe InDesign with a PrintUI plugin, easily creates templates. Once uploaded, authorized marketing consumers and sales personnel create customized versions of each piece, using an online editing and preview environment. Brand-critical elements are safely locked in position, as are font choices and available images. Users may easily create what they need, and submit each piece for approval, without risking the companys visual brand identity. PrintUI easily integrates with Digital Asset Management (DAM) and other essential business systems.
