For any web to print solution, the online designer tool holds the key to success. It’s the USP of a web to print business model. Your customers come to your online print store and design their products. If you can woo and charm them during their online designing experience, you win!
Precisely for this reason, the OnPrintShop team has always focused on steadily upgrading its Online Designer Studio. And now we are out with Designer Studio V2!

When we say upgrade, we don’t just mean addition of new features. For us, upgrade also means enhancing the usability of what we already have in place. Thus, the change of technology from Flash to Flex. Flex has improved the studio’s loading time and speed.
Our studio is also now robust in terms of performance and cutting edge features. The upgraded studio is flexible enough to support integrations with third party APIs. It can support stock image providers like Fotolia and special effect providers like Direct Smile. And Fotolia and Direct Smile are just examples. You bring us the API of your preferred stock images provider or special effects provider and we will integrate that for you. So, your customers can use high-end designer images and add special effects to their designs. They can spread the wings of their imagination wider and explore beyond the rudimentary designs.
The next best thing about this upgraded studio is integration with social networks like Flickr and Picasa. This means the customers can directly import their personal pics from these photo sharing platforms and use them in product designs. Just think how cool it would be to design T-shirts with picture of your friends or how wonderful it would be to send out party invitation cards with pictures of your baby on it! A real treat for your customers we would say!
And we do not stop here. We have a lot more popular social network integrations coming up in the future. So you might want to keep an eye on us!
We have also enhanced the look and feel of the upgraded studio to make it look subtle yet classy. This look goes well with any kind of branding. So whether you position yourself as a corporate print service provider or a hip and happening design team, the studio gels well with your brand.
And then we have added the element panels for text, image, and shape. These panels along with layers make it very easy to control and manage all the design parameters. And of course, you have the rotate and transparency features that can make a real difference in a design.
In addition to these new features, the studio carries other important features like safe and cutting margin, fold margin, grid lines, design guides, upload image, and design preview from the previous studio version.
Our studio presently delivers a print-ready 300DPI PDF file as final output. This PDF is both CMYK and RGB compatible which in and of itself is at par with the global standards. But we are looking to take it a notch higher by integrating PDFlib Library as well. So once again, an upgrade to look out for in the near future.
We also understand that local language plays a very critical role in print business. Your customers would certainly want the luxury to design their products in local language. For this we have developed support for different languages in the upgraded studio. The studio now supports Latin languages other than English. So now your customers can design their business cards and local marketing material in their local language.
So now our w2p online designer studio packs double the punch by combining best of both worlds in this upgraded version. On one hand it has improved on performance and delivery standards. On the other, it has added a whole new meaning to online designing with rich integrations.
You can now not only make your customers smile, you can excite them as well. And an excited customer will keep coming back to you!
