Abstract

This month’s research monograph, Web-Enabled Print Architectures (PICRM-2008-06), is authored by Adam Dewitz, former graduate student in RIT’s School of Print Media. The purpose of this study was to analyze the current state of Web-enabled print within the printing industry. The research examined a number of print service providers utilizing Web-enabled print systems. This examination led to the development of an instrument for looking at Web-enabled print service providers. The instrument was then used to analyze a number of print service providers, providing insight into various approaches to developing the Web application processes of a Web-enabled printing system. (The in-depth company analysis are not included in this summary, but may be found in the full monograph available here.)
