On-Demand Printing – A Winning Solution

On-demand printing has brought Percy’s Porch Paint to achieve record sales. Like it said, ‘on-demand’, the service was started upon receiving the demand from the customer. As a result, it was a win-win solution for both parties.

In Percy’s case, the company was able to satisfy its customers with excellent service and product quality. They did the production digitally and without a third party. This way, the production process was finished within the deadline, since any problem could be discovered and fixed quickly. 

There were three essential job desks for on-demand printing in Percy’s Porch Painting, which were operator, designer, and producer. The three worked as a team to make the turnaround as quick as possible.
