Synapse^® InSite is a powerful Internet portal, designed to streamline print production and the processes of job submission, collaboration, proofing, and job-status tracking. It delivers faster turnaround times, lower proofing costs, and enhanced customer communication, with unparalleled visibility into the production process.

Secure and convenient online access to print jobs
Synapse InSite provides your customers with secure, controlled Web access to their print jobs. It enables you and your customers 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.

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. Print buyers anywhere benefit by having real-time knowledge of their jobs' status within the prepress environment.

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.
