What is YourPrinter.com?
 
YourPrinter.com is an online solution to maintain Corporate Identity. It is a way to insure
all company employees are receiving consistent business stationery, with the same layouts,
ink colors, processes, fonts and paper stock.



How does this work?

• The customer logs onto YourPrinter.com and uses their company specific User ID and Password.
• They select or enter the location information where the product will be shipped.
• A custom billing page is set up to collect your requested information from the end user.
• We take the customers layouts and corporate specifications and create an on-line template
for each item that the customer can order. We then allow the customer to fill in information
that can be customized on these items. Once all variable information has been entered the
customer proofs their product instantly on-line.
• The customer has the option of changing the item and re-proof or save the item to their
shopping cart and continue shopping.
• The customer completes order which goes direct-to-plate at a regional facility.

  Miscellaneous
• Site Codes – This is information used to pre-populate imprint data on items as well as
shipping and billing. It can also be used to determine the need for approval and which
items a person or group can order.
• Usage Reports – Shows what product and quantity being ordered.
• Inventory Status – Keeps track of how much inventory is on hand for the products ordered.
• Re-order – Easily place a re-order on-line and add or remove items from your shopping basket.
• User Profiles – Allows a person placing an order to enter all of their personal information,
phone numbers, email, name, title etc. During the ordering process, this information will
pre-populate text fields, avoiding re-keying of information.
• Approval – Site can be setup to have multiple levels of approval. This allows end users to place
their order, but still gives upper management control over what is being ordered.
• Bulletin Board – A customized page that shows after the initial login to the site. This page can be
used to give the customer directions on what to do, offer links to other sites, helpful hints and
information about their company or yours. The possibilities are endless.
• Hosting – We can host items on our site that we do not produce for customer ordering. We set
up the item on the site, but redirect the order to another producing company via an email.
Additional fees may apply.
• Order Confirmations
• Confirmation that an order has been received can be set up to include proofs as attachments
or contain a link to view the proofs.
• Confirmation that the order has shipped, includes tracking information for the order as well.
• Customized URL – We can create a custom URL, embedded with the User ID and Password.
This allows easy access on the customer’s intranet site.
• Restrict use by IP address – We can restrict use to the site using your customer’s IP address.

get their Corporate Identity manual.

setting up a Corporate Identity site.

If you receive a blank page with “Object Moved Here” on it, please contact your technical
department and ask them to adjust or “patch” the firewall to work with Active Server Pages.
This problem has also been attributed to Internet Explorer 4.0 in some situations. If you are
