A printing apparatus according to one aspect of this invention includes a sheet holding unit configured to hold an envelope, and a detection unit configured to detect an opening width between guides for guiding an envelope held by the sheet holding unit. The printing apparatus further includes an identifying unit configured to identify a flap size of the envelope based on the opening width detected by the detection unit and a size set for the envelope held by the sheet holding unit, and a printing unit configured to print an image on the envelope by shifting image data based on the flap size identified by the identifying unit.

Printing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium

Portable display boards of the type commonly used for business and educational presentations in conferences, trade shows and fairs, for example, that can be made from a variety of materials including foam board and rigid paper pulp are provided with multimedia device mounts for attaching a multimedia device to the front face of a display board, base stands, and protective corners.

Portable display board for multimedia devices

In some embodiments, a method which includes receiving an indication of the presence of a first message from a first client device, the first message including a first specification file and a first network address associated with a first print data file. The method includes retrieving the first print data file from the first network address. The method includes processing the first specification file and the first print data file by a raster image processor.

System and method for printable document job submission

A computerized, web-based, method and system for improved (high-end) stationary designs for invitations to weddings and other important events. The method and system is based on two software components. One component is a plug-in for a graphics program, often a high end graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Indesign. This plug-in allows the graphics program to communicate with the second component of the system, which is a remote Internet web server loaded with a variety of different invitation templates. Using this system, the user can, while working within the familiar user interface of a stand-alone graphics program, import templates for custom paper product designs, and rapidly produce highly realistic images for client evaluation. These methods are also highly suitable for allowing users to communicate interest in new designs, as well as directly ordering materials from the manufacturer from within the same graphics program.

Graphics-plugin and server method for invitation designs

A method for the production of a print job by sequential or quasi-sequential digital printing includes forming at least one stack including signatures, print sheets and/or individual sheets produced by the digital printing. Components of the stack are transferred at least to a book-related printed product by means of at least one additional processing. The formation of the stack and the components thereof is carried out by means of production-related data or data sets which, by means of at least one workflow system, firstly select a specific sequence of individual book-related printed products made of the stack, and which secondly control a layout of the individual main printed products having same or different thicknesses and/or formats and/or having same or individual contents.

Method for the production of a print job
