Marsid-M&M Advances Web Technology

The Marsid-M&M Group, Carle Place, N.Y., has streamlined production and is saving clients valuable time and money by harnessing the power of the latest Web technology.

Over the past several years, Marsid-M&M has integrated features into its Web site that bring the production process directly to the client's desktop. Clients can access several programs at the site.

With the Direct-2-Press System, clients can send files from any design/layout program by selecting the print command. The artwork onscreen is then automatically converted to Marsid-M&M's file standard and is sent directly to the company's raster image processing station, which is the final step before printing. This eliminates all compatibility and font issues.

Marsid-M&M's Webstore Systems, custom-built online order management systems, are geared for large companies that frequently re-order supplies, such as business cards. Webstores allow a client's staff members around the country to order supplies through one location, using a template-driven online ordering system.

Other recently added programs include one-stop printing and mailing, and a new bindery department that allows the company to offer a competitive pricing structure by bringing all production in-house.
