Design Conductor

edu Business Solutions (Booth 357) is unveiling its new web-based graphics solution called Design Conductor at Graph Expo. Since 2002, Print Shop Pro, edu’s flagship web-to-print solution, has been helping in-plant print shops streamline operations by offering online ordering, job tracking, automated charge backs and inventory control. Now, they are offering a solution that will enable anyone in the organization to create professional looking marketing materials.

With Design Conductor, anyone in the organization can create professional looking marketing materials with absolutely no graphic design experience. Design Conductor is all you need to create newsletters, brochures, flyers, posters, certificates, post cards, invitations and more. This easy-to-use web-based program provides a library of customizable templates and a gallery of images specific to each organization.

All the user has to do is:

1. Choose the template they wish to use
2. Click on the template to enter text or insert images
3. View a watermarked PDF
4. Submit the job to the print shop

It’s that simple. Design Conductor automatically:

• Fits content to the available space
• Crops and expands images
• Preserves image aspect ratio
• Applies custom borders and backgrounds
• Wraps text around images
• Creates a print-ready PDF including crop marks and imposition

Design Conductor protests your brand by ensuring that all documents meet your organization’s publication standards. While Design Conductor is a stand-alone solution, it can link directly to Print Shop Pro for easy job submission, estimating and charge back.
