PrinterSite will now become standard in its Hagen, Logic and PSI. The Printer-Site Foundation gives "web-to-print functionality" and allows customers to request and review quotes, submit work and check job status.
"The free entry-level web submission tool offered by PrinterSite Foundation will streamline the operations of many printers," said EFI director of product marketing Chuck Gehman.
From Q4, all new MIS customers will receive this as part of their standard maintenance agreement, while existing users can upgrade for a small upfront fee.
EFI has also built its Printflow scheduling system into its MIS products.
Hagen, Logic and PSI system will incorporate the Printflow Dynamic Scheduling foundation suite. According to EFI, the product has been enhanced with "Globally Optimised" technology, which improves visual presentation and remote communication. They also include EFI's Executive Information System (EIS).
