Artizan is low-cost and suitable for very small print operations
But, low-cost or not, it works for the larger business just as well! Also, it's a subscription based hosted application service so you can limit your commercial risk with a month-by-month plan or gain significant discount for a longer-term commitment as suits your circumstances.
Have a look at our 'how to buy' page for more info on how to get Artizan, or contact us and talk to us directly.
We have three versions of Artizan that range from the very small to the full-on commercial business, they are known as:
Artizan Journeyman - our basic entry level system with customer account features
Artizan Craftsman - a version with credit-card shop facilities for public e-commerce
Artizan Professional - a much larger system with multi-page capability and customer portals capable of being 'themed' to their corporate styles.
Our aim with Artizan for commercial digital print was to create a very intuitive and user-friendly system for configuring or versioning print documents online. More than that though, we wanted to make it easy for a user to be able to connect a database to their print piece and drive its content as a variable data item. We believe we have achieved these goals.
So for you, if you are a commercial print business or just a small print/copier facility operating inside a business, Artizan gives you or your customers a straightforward way to create more effective print output from your machine.
Artizan is a web portal for configuring and ordering digital print
Give your customers acces via log-in and they can select from the items you have published for them and place orders on you as they need.
Your customers can open an item, configure any variable images or text fields for that order, upload and link up a database if the job has data connected fields (images or text), and then having viewed their print piece in real-time, they can add the configured work to their shopping basket and place an order on you for it as they wish.

Artizan's template builder application for job creation
For you to create a configurable print piece or even just a simple non-variable stationery item that you want your customers to be able to order online, Artizan provides a simple-to-use 'template builder' tool.
This tool lets you set the size of the piece, set whether it's duplex or simplex in style, define backgroud and foreground imagery and draw any configurable content areas such as images and text fields onto the piece. The professional Artizan version also allows you to link projects together as multi-page items, extending your online capability even further.
Once created, you can publish your templates to whichever users you want to have configuration access to them and, in this process, set how these new items will appear in your online shop.
