Production of printed matter typically involves many people, sometimes from several different companies, in many locations.
As a result, most of the time and effort is spent on the editing, the approval process and managing the different versions of the publication. Not any more. CtrlPrint is a revolutionary Content Creation Management system (CCM). With its powerful workflow and built-in document version management it can dramatically increase productivity. By taking advantage of the latest internet technologies the system simplifies the editing and approval process and lets you focus on the quality of the printed matter being produced.
CtrlPrint is a database-driven online system that handles the collaborative workflow process of producing printed matter.
A project in CtrlPrint consists of one or more 'chapters' and each chapter contains a document (INDD file) that can be viewed or edited by the users. The editing is done using Adobe's leading publishing system InDesign. CtrlPrint provides a seamless integration between InDesign and InCopy. CtrlPrint stores all InDesign documents and keeps track of changes made. Whenever a document is changed, a copy of the previous version is saved and can be retrieved later. The system has built-in mechanisms that allow only one person at a time to edit a document, thus ensuring document integrity.
CtrlPrint has three destinctive roles using specific applications.
 |
Designer / Layout Editor
Access to perform text and layout changes to a given document in the project. Using Adobe InDesign.
|
 |
Copywriter / Text Editor.
The copywriter works in Adobe InCopy, an easy to learn application for textediting. View copyfit information as you work in the designed document and lets you edit text in relation to the design.

Reader / Proofreader.

Availability.
All authorized project members have full-time access, 24/7, to the latest versions of the documents. Since the system is webbased, it doesn’t matter where the team members are located.
Individual Access Levels.
There are basically two user types in CtrlPrint: Editors and Commentators. The former are divided into Edit Layout and Edit Text. Each user is given an individual access level to any given document in the system.
Security.
Access is controlled individually for each user and document. The system uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for safe, encrypted transfer of the documents.
Commentator.
Access to view PDF files of documents, and add comments/tasks. Using Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.

Version management.
