How do you make an already successful prepress/printing operation even more successful? That was the question facing Gist and Herlin Press.

Since merging in 2001, Gist (a prepress/retouching shop) and Herlin (a commercial printer) have been on a roll. They've acquired several other printing companies to become the largest privately held graphic media services company in southern Connecticut.

If there was one thing lagging, it was their production file server. Their Color Central system was getting old, and they wanted a replacement that would keep them at the forefront of production innovation and let them provide new client-friendly services.

Among the items on their wish list: a Web presence to give clients access to files and archives online, digital asset management capabilities, and Web-to-print services so clients could print jobs themselves. The trick was finding one solution that could do it all.
