Collaboration & Automation with tFlow will make your workflow ZING! Live Design Tutorial
Attend this webinar to learn how tFlow software will revolutionize your workflow. tFlow is many things. It’s a collaborative tool that will streamline your revision and approval process. It’s a PDF preflight tool that will ensure you deliver standardized and printable files to your print vendors. And it’s a color server that will repurpose your documents on the fly for optimal reproduction for any printing process.
tFlow is not like anything you have seen before – and you NEED to see it to believe it! It goes something like this… Export PDF from native application using tFlow plug-in, collaborate with anyone in the design process, revise and approve – all through an elegant web interface that tracks the progress of each project. Once approved, each job is preflighted, repurposed/optimized for specific printing processes, and delivered – all automatically. Everyone in the chain is kept informed via email every step of the way and your print providers receive files that hit the mark every time.
Sound like magic? It’s not, it’s tFlow.
Be more efficient. Get more done. Make sure it’s right.
