Online Proofing

Synapse® InSite makes Internet-based communication a convenient reality, streamlining the process of job submission, job-status tracking, on-line collaboration, and remote proofing or approval. Synapse InSite is an Internet portal into the Brisque® and Prinergy® prepress environments.

Secure and convenient online access to print jobs
Synapse InSite provides you with secure, controlled web access to your print jobs. It enables you to: upload and download jobs and job data; proof online with geographically dispersed users collaborating simultaneously; append annotations or comments; approve or reject pages; manage information; and access secure job status reporting over the Internet using a standard browser.

Customers log in online to see the status of their jobs, view a thumbnail of all pages in each job, make annotated comments, and even approve pages.

The customer service representative handling the print accounts has the ability to manage client information, add/remove participants, and receive optional e-mail notification for each change.

Up-to-the-minute information virtually anytime, anywhere
Print buyers anywhere benefit from Synapse InSite by having real-time knowledge of their jobs' status within the prepress environment at any time. You can add the powerful Synapse InSite Internet proofing and collaboration tool to an existing Prinergy or Brisque workflow.

Improving communication with customers reduces errors
Synapse InSite improves communication between you and your customers. Compared with conventional methods, cycle times are shorter and you end up with fewer errors. The customer's changes, annotations, requests, or comments are visible to the printer's staff, eliminating miscommunication errors. Synapse InSite also reduces the number of reprints, due to better communication before going to press.

Web-based proofing shortens lead times and lowers costs
Synapse InSite shortens lead times and reduces material and courier costs through bypassing hard-copy content-proofing cycles. All job information is visible in real time and accessible from anywhere over the Web. With Synapse InSite, you can reduce the number of hard proofs your customer requires.

Robust and secure online job submission
Print buyers can use Synapse InSite to quickly provide job data without the need to create and courier media. Secure access ensures only authorized users have access to your print jobs. Online job submission also provides greater flexibility in dealing with late-closing pages or last-minute changes.
