At this point, no one can predict just how large the impact will be on local and international economies, but it is a near certainty that things will be different in our post-pandemic reality. It is impossible to predict how long it will take to recover. In this blog post, we try to forecast what behavioral changes might occur until that recovery takes place and what printing companies and franchises can do to adapt to those changes.2020-04-10T03:57:00Z5f4ff03e-3c15-4cf2-9d5b-f5e062807b8chttp://customerscanvas.com/blog/2020/03/27/using-adobe-templates-for-web-to-printAdobe is the well-known brand of choice when it comes to image editing and publishing software, and the printing industry is no exception. If you offer design services as part of your printing business, then it’s highly likely that you use Adobe software. Such market dominance creates a necessity for web-to-print software to be able to import templates created with Adobe software for online personalization. However, you can use many different applications in Adobe’s Creative Suite family to create these templates. In this post, we will discuss which of these applications is the most suitable for different use cases. 2020-03-27T02:10:00Zffda4bca-05c9-47bc-af0f-a1a87e34a7a4http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2020/03/26/Aurigma-COVID-19-business-continuity-updateIn this truly unprecedented time of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Aurigma team is taking all necessary measures to continue providing services to our clients. 2020-03-26T00:57:00Z09800c67-7ba5-40ee-b400-aee13a478567http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2020/03/01/new-and-updated-online-demos-envelopes-slippers-and-phone-caseOur company operates on the philosophy that the only way to build quality products is by developing useful features that actually help clients solve their everyday tasks and automate the prepress process.

The result of these efforts is a product that helps print service providers put their web-to-print strategies into action. As 2019 draws to a close, we want to highlight the year’s key milestones on our path to create a better product. 2019-12-31T00:34:00Z6083df50-2e3a-4d8b-9108-52147eba6fe2http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2019/12/02/Questions-to-ask-when-planning-your-web-to-print-integrationImplementing web-to-print is one of the best business decisions almost any print service provider can make due to all of the benefits the technology offers and today’s shifting market landscape that morphs in the face of the rapidly evolving industry and customer behavior. Rather than asking “should I add web-to-print to my business,” printers are now asking “how do I do this properly”. This is surely a huge investment both in terms of finances and resources. That’s why the crucial part of each web-to-print implementation project is planning. In this article, we will discuss the main points that every printer should consider before starting such a project.2019-12-02T04:14:00Za5ae7d44-380c-4132-b07f-4c14172e3bb9http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2019/12/01/A-Better-Customer%E2%80%99s-Canvas-Autumn-2019This fall has been filled with intensive and productive work for the Customer’s Canvas engineering team.

A few years ago, we began creating online editor demos to showcase different Customer’s Canvas use cases. As time went on, the number of demos increased significantly (there are now more than 40), which has made navigating through them more complicated. We decided to revise the demo section in order to make it easier for customers to quickly find the editor features they’re looking for, as well as examples of products that they would like to personalize with Customer’s Canvas.2019-06-24T04:39:00Z316cafa1-f9e3-4c90-a59e-df08cb365eadhttp://customerscanvas.com/blog/2019/04/25/Whats-new-in-Customers-Canvas-50The main theme of this release is making Customer’s Canvas more developer-friendly than ever.

Let’s take a closer look at last year’s highlights!2019-01-16T23:19:00Za0d8364c-d36b-4ae0-a1c3-3ccaa44077a8http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2019/01/14/new-in-customers-canvas-enhanced-variable-data-printing-modulePersonalization has grown into one of the key marketing trends over the last few years. Since marketers have begun to increasingly rely on this method, customers and prospects have come to expect a personalized experience. This personalization can be used in several different mediums. Of course, personalization is commonly used in old-fashioned email campaigns or targeted ads, but it is also becoming more prevalent in printed ads. For printing companies, this means a strong rise in demand for personalized printing materials. While such orders are more profitable for printers, they require modern web-to-print solutions that support variable data printing (VDP) functionality. 2019-01-14T23:49:00Z769c19a8-2ccf-46ec-873b-44c420c89562http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/12/13/customers-canvas-licensing-keys-updateThe Customer’s Canvas team is always striving to provide our clients with the best service possible, including the latest information on any updates to our products.

Now, ordering business cards or personalized gifts online is as easy as ordering a pizza. The online product preview plays an essential role in the convenience that online print customers enjoy today. As innovative as these changes are, people tend to eventually get used to anything, and something that once looked futuristic is now taken for granted. As more printers add an online preview functionality to their online storefront, you need something extra to stand out from the crowd and impress your customers. That’s why the team behind Customer’s Canvas is constantly working to create new features to keep your customers amazed. Let’s take a look at some of our latest developments that will make your online previews look even more realistic. 2018-12-05T03:17:00Ze0a8abca-ff83-4bd2-a6b9-f4d051105d81http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/11/01/imposition-automate-your-order-receiving-process-with-customers-canvasThe Customer’s Canvas online editor is a powerful tool tailored to help printing companies automate the customization workflow of their printed products. Once an order has been placed, the process doesn’t end there. In order to minimize the usage of materials and optimize the printing process, personalized designs should be imposed properly. 2018-11-01T20:11:00Z12914964-5433-49e2-9ad4-0aae21304a08http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/10/18/print-18-impressionsPrint18 Expo is over.

To give a more luxurious appearance to an invitation or business card, a finishing method for print products (embossing, foil, varnishing, etc.) can be applied. For printers, post-processing is a good way to improve an order’s profit margin and offer customers additional opportunities to make their designs stand out. With the new version of the Customer’s Canvas online editor, you can give your clients the ability to create personalized designs with some of these elegant finishing techniques. 2018-09-16T23:50:00Z6273c5fb-a96e-4074-b3c0-6955498a554fhttp://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/08/16/aurigma-at-print-18-adobe-indesign-support-variable-data-printing-and-moreIt was a very productive year for our development team here at Aurigma.

We are thrilled by the opportunity to demonstrate the results of our engineers’ hard work. Today, we will discuss some of the newest features of our flagship product, Customer’s Canvas, that we will be presenting at Print 18.2018-08-16T02:28:00Zcf48c90b-eb4e-4aad-9605-d5f15b540341http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/07/26/customers-canvas-packaging-at-print-18The Aurigma team is excited to attend the Print18 exhibition in Chicago, where we will present our newest product: Customer’s Canvas Packaging.

This also entails taking into account the internal features of each individual customer’s business processes. We are excited to announce that a web-to-print plug-in based on Customer’s Canvas technology is now available for Drupal Commerce from our partners at Acro Media.2018-07-23T00:50:00Z6d43b89f-fa14-4f6a-b022-b3ebc0887e12http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/07/11/5-questions-about-web-to-print-ecommerce-applications-answeredWhat began as a simple tool for creating basic business cards years ago have now evolved into full-fledged editors for creating various types of products with complex designs. This shift is occurring as printing companies and marketing providers have finally come to the understanding that web-to-print technology allows them to diversify their offering and adopt new product categories with a relatively small investment, as well as better serve customers and increase their satisfaction level. In this blog post, we answer five commonly asked questions about web-to-print implementation.2018-07-11T03:57:00Zba6d4e8b-bf92-41c5-8c3d-f0f3a39d49c5http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/07/09/events-thoughts-after-digital-print-for-packagingThe Aurigma team recently took part in the Digital Print for Packaging conference, held in Chicago from June 4-5. This event was the stage for unveiling some of the most advanced solutions in the field of packaging printing. After seeing just how much potential is in this segment of the market, Aurigma recently debuted its own product for package design. This conference made us even more confident in the power of digital packaging. Here is a brief summary of the main trends we saw there. 2018-07-09T03:41:00Z38520ac6-cd99-410f-991e-9b14e8e90141http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/06/26/In-place-text-editing-complex-technology-behind-simple-featureThe main goal of any good graphics editor is increasing conversion rates by leading the customer down a streamlined path to placing their final order. An important element of this is the UX and ease of editing. A convenient and intuitive interface is often an essential part of the buying process. Sometimes, even a small change in this interface reflects a lot of hard work under the hood from a team of highly skilled engineers. Today, we want to share a bit of what we’ve been working on and how a simple improvement to the interface is actually the tip of an iceberg that goes deep down into the moving parts of the editor. 2018-06-26T02:36:00Z22b99998-8b83-4294-b2c5-1745677f0076http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/05/31/meet-customers-canvas-packagingThe Aurigma team is proud to announce a new product that combines all of the powerful features of web-to-print technology with parametric packaging design.2018-05-31T04:32:00Za82e719f-5517-4e2c-b464-49f45e5f31cfhttp://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/05/02/new-customers-canvas-online-editor-demosIt’s better to see something once with your own eyes than hear about it a hundred times. A good product can speak for itself, demonstrating its capabilities in an environment as close to a real use case as possible. Therefore, we’ve added new demos to show off the rich features of our online editor. 2018-05-02T23:16:00Zf7097440-048d-4004-96da-8e08e297c602http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/04/10/New-in-Customers-Canvas-Vector-format-support-Web-API-capabilities-and-moreThe Customer’s Canvas team is constantly striving to improve our product and expand the functionality of online web-to-print solutions.

Here is a list of features that we have recently added. 2018-04-10T05:42:00Zcafe17f1-17c5-401c-9624-1b121d8698aehttp://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/04/02/new-in-customers-canvas-create-more-appealing-texts-with-copyfittingWhen creating a template, you need to keep in mind that customers may enter text of different lengths during the personalization process. This means that either the size of the text area should be changed, or users must decrease the font size themselves. However, putting that power in the hands of the customer might result in ruining the final design. Limiting the number of characters in the Customer’s Canvas online editor previously solved this problem, but that wasn’t always the case. 2018-04-02T22:04:00Z251e59ea-8a75-4bc7-b3e0-8d305181eb54http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2018/03/07/Meet-Our-Team-in-Atlantic-City-at-ISS-Trade-ShowCustomer's Canvas team is attending ISS Trade Show and Conference.

And it paid off very well! While exhibiting at the show, we had a great opportunity to see what’s happening on the ground level of the US print market, as well as make a lot of new promising connections with prospects and key players in the industry. I would like to extend my personal thanks to all customers and visitors who stopped by our booth, as well as our wonderful team who worked nonstop to make the show a huge success. 2017-10-06T06:43:00Z4c57c493-52db-4e03-a513-2ed98a7182c1http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2017/09/05/improving-customer-experience-for-personalized-productsEvery year, new technology surprises us with many innovations that would have been straight out of a sci-fi movie a few decades ago. Despite all our progress, scientists still haven’t managed to figure out the whole time travel thing. For now, the old-fashioned photograph remains the next best thing. Each photo is a fragment of a moment in time that helps us revisit our favorite memories. While the same technological advances now enable us to carry thousands of photos in our pockets today, the special significance of photos prevents many of us from digitizing completely. One only needs to look at how popular photo products are in the printing industry to confirm that, sometimes, it’s just nice to hold a photograph.2017-09-05T03:58:00Zd48af84e-569e-485b-9ff4-bae717be28cdhttp://customerscanvas.com/blog/2017/09/01/how-to-get-repeat-b2b-customers-with-online-printingB2C clients can be unpredictable in their buying patterns while B2B clients can bring a shop reliably repetitive business. However, bringing these repeat business customers on board is not as easy as securing the average one-off job. When companies order print products – whether it’s business cards for a consultant, booklets for a real estate company, or flyers for a landscaping business – they are not just paying for a piece of paper with ink on it. They are also paying for the good impression that they hope to give to their prospects and clients. A company’s image is one of their most valuable assets, and they will only provide a printer with that reliable repeat business if the printer can present that image effectively.2017-09-01T03:50:00Z4c441195-d8c3-47e5-b249-e910727028ebhttp://customerscanvas.com/blog/2017/08/14/Under-the-hood-of-Customer%E2%80%99s-Canvas-implementationWhen thinking about a web-to-print solution, many visualize a nice-looking online storefront designed for ordering print products. From the outside looking in, it appears as simple as Amazon - you just go to the site, pick a product, personalize its design or create it from scratch, and then add it to the shopping cart. From a technical standpoint, however, it’s much more sophisticated than it looks on the outside...2017-08-14T02:37:00Z075474c4-7cba-47cf-af8d-a8e40b0c1c95http://customerscanvas.com/blog/2017/07/19/Do-You-Need-Customer%E2%80%99s-CanvasWeb-to-print has increasingly been on the radar for many companies looking to boost their business with personalization capabilities. When we first started developing Customer’s Canvas, web-to-print appeared to be a breakthrough technology that would change the world of printing. As time passed, what this technology is really capable of became clearer.
