NEW FAQ: frequently asked questions via this website

Since our website is up and running we've received certain questions via our website. Here's a selection of frequently asked questions via our website contact form:

  • I've been investigating the web2print market and also talked to other software vendors. They told me the Vit2Print solution is rather expensive. Is that correct? Can I get a quotation?

    Other web2print software providers try to gain you as a customer and for this reason put others - like us - in a negative perspective. To say that Vit2Print is an expensive solution means that you don't know the solution at all. The pricing of Vit2Print completely depends on your configuration needs and the selected licensing model. Just presenting you a price is just about impossible.

    Yes, you can get a quote. But in order to provide you a quotation that makes sense, we need to know and understand your needs. After which we are able to offer a tailored system configuration with a corresponding price. Want a tailored quotation? Do not hesitate, contact us and inform us about your needs

  • I already invested in web-to-print software. Unfortunately, I had to invest in additional in-house developers as well to get the job done. The investment will be bigger then estimated due to lack of flexibility of the software I bought. Is your solution flexible and easily adjustable?

    We have to say: none of our customers has ended up investing in in-house developers or web designers. The reason is simple: the web interface can easily be modified to match your corporate identity. Our customers modify logos, images, texts and colours themselves, without any specialized knowledge. Next to that, the solution is flexible in such a way that you activate or de-activate specific flows yourself.

  • I just gave up working with web-to-print software that runned on an InDesign server on a windows platform. The reason is that my prepress employees did not like the way they had to prepare the InDesign templates: it was a time-consuming and unpleasant job to do. InDesign however remains our main lay-out software and we still believe in e-commerce based on indesign server templates, but the templates should by easy to prepare. Are the Vit2Print InDesign templates easy to create?

    Vit2Print templates are easily created by using our specialized tools that run in cooperation with your InDesign client application. To prepare templates your prepress employees do not need to acquire scripting skills or understand XML language. Current prepress operators preparing Vit2Print templates like to do it because it goes quite fast, does not need any additional knowledge and "it is fun because it nearly supports al InDesign features that I am used to use". As the above quote suggests, creating Vit2Print InDesign templates is not annoying and, what's more, doesn't take a lot of time.

  • I already have an Adobe InDesign server license for a windows platform but encountered too much limitations. I noticed you run the InDesign server on a Mac platform. What will happen with my Adobe InDesign windows server license?

    It is possible to make the transition from a windows server license to a Mac server license without an additional cost. For more information: contact us

Why does Vit2Print operate on a Mac platform?

Allow us to use the words of the CEO of the biggest German publisher to explain our choice for Mac. Axel Springer's ceo Mathias Döpfner explains his company's swopping of 12.000 PC's into Macs as below:

"Mac is the standard when it comes down to graphical processes and the machines are cheaper and easier to use. Next to that, Apple makes the most beautiful computers, which results in employees who are keen to go and sit behind their desk, being really motivated every day."

Of course, there are lots of other advantages in relationship with the deployment of a Mac platform.
