May brings new beginnings. In our case, it actually started in April—and we’re talking specifically about our website. A lot has happened in the past few months since we moved our office from Stuttgart to the tranquil town of Ludwigsburg. After giving our physical space a fresh look—that is, our new office—it was high time for a little facelift for our digital home as well.

Admittedly, it’s not always easy to break with tradition and venture into a completely new layout. In our case, however, a complete overhaul of the website was more than necessary. So much has happened here in the last 12 months alone, and many new features needed their own space. In addition to the modern and much lighter look, we’ve now structured and organized our digital home more clearly. The homepage serves as a central “takeoff” point with an overview of the various sections, and the new site navigation offers quick access to all sections, guiding you effortlessly through the rissc universe—whether on desktop or mobile.

Our printformer, the heart of our Web2Print passion, not only features a redesigned logo and its own section on the new website, but also provides a detailed overview of its capabilities in the Web2Print sector. With our cloud software, we’ve created our own standard that’s ready to use in just a few minutes and can be integrated into any existing system. Automatic updates that continuously expand your Web2Publish offerings and catapult your business into a whole new galaxy—included, of course!

The printformer.io section is a brand-new addition to our rissc universe, featuring a fresh color scheme, logo, and functionality. As the name suggests, we’re introducing a special version of the printformer software here—the printformer.io app. With this innovation, we’ve combined the best of both worlds and seamlessly integrated our printformer into the Shopify e-commerce platform. We’ll walk you through the process step by step to show just how easy, straightforward, and fast it is to set up your own print shop with an integrated editor using printformer.io. Web-to-print has never been easier.

We’re thoroughly enjoying all the new features in our revamped digital home, and we’d love for you to take a closer look at our new rissc universe. We always welcome your feedback—have fun exploring!

On your marks, get set, go! Once again this year, the Online Print Symposium in Munich was on our agenda in early March. As in previous years, we were there as a premium partner and had the opportunity to introduce our “rissc universe” to the approximately 300 attendees.

Although the outlook for OPS 2020 wasn’t exactly positive—as was to be expected—due to the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, canceling the event was never an option for us. This made it all the more delightful to discover not only many familiar faces from the industry but also plenty of new ones among the attendees. With around 300 participants, the Infinity Hotel in Munich was once again well-attended this year and provided the perfect backdrop for our now-familiar blue “rissc universe.” Visually, however, there was a small but no less important addition—bright green balloons now adorned our booth alongside the blue ones, and within just a few minutes, they were already sparking the first inquiries.

The answer to the riddle became clear to anyone who looked not only at the new color scheme but also at the printed logos. Alongside Shopify, a brand-new logo—that of printformer.io—now took its place there, as OPS was the perfect event for us to present our new app to a wider industry audience. Attentive visitors had already been given a creative hint by our CEO Alex Sperrfechter in the teaser videos for OPS (click here for the VIDEO ), and anyone who wanted a live explanation afterward had plenty of opportunity to get one.

Our printformer.io app, a version of our printformer specifically designed for seamless integration with Shopify, now combines the best of both worlds. After implementing the first integration of this kind in Logolini®Präsente’s Shopify store at the end of last year (click here for the article), we continued to rely on the innovative e-commerce platform Shopify as our e-commerce backbone with its presentation at OPS 2020. Even before the current COVID-19 crisis, the topics of transformation and digitalization posed a real challenge for many companies in the printing and media services industry. The crisis now clearly demonstrates how important it is to address these issues in a forward-looking and sustainable manner. If not yesterday, then all the more so today. With the release of printformer.io, we’re giving companies of all kinds an easy way to overcome these previously insurmountable entry barriers in the Web2Publish sector and are supporting the process through this integration of the printformer software into Shopify, which can be implemented in just a few steps. Anyone who wants—and needs—to seize the moment right now can set up their own shop in just a few minutes and launch a professional print shop with an editor and print data upload feature on the market using the printformer.io app. Never has fast time-to-market without lengthy implementation processes been more in demand than it is now—as evidenced by the feedback from interested visitors at our booth at the Online Print Symposium. Those who want to learn more can find additional information in advance at www.printformer.io.

For us, the days at OPS in Munich were once again a resounding success. The abundance of positive feedback, the generally upbeat atmosphere, and the many interesting conversations and inquiries all underscore the significance of this event for us. With the launch of our new app, we’ve struck a chord within the industry, offering many companies a genuine option for securing their future prospects. Reason enough for us to continue impressing others with our passion for print, our experience in Web-to-Print and Web-to-Publish, and our customer-focused software solutions. We are already looking forward to 2021 and the next OPS in Munich.
