Printfarm
Development of the marketplace for fine print products
Metapaper has the best rounded paper range in the market. And with its so-called print partners, Metapaper has the best network of printers for high-quality print products. The logical step was to develop a platform that forms the interface between customer and print shop.
The Printfarm was launched. An easy-to-use configuration tool in which designers can define the specifications for print projects. Based on the specifications, the platform selects the print shops that are best suited for the project. We created our own world for Printfarm – a colorful mix of explanatory illustrations and a simple rendered plasticine look.
Thanks to the very simple processes in the configuration tool, printing expertise is not necessary. Users are guided step-by-step through the entire print product, enabling print shops to submit a binding offer at the end.
How can you know what you don’t know?
Young designers today find it more difficult to build relationships with printers and paper experts who can provide valuable insights into traditional techniques as well as new and emerging printing processes. Gradually, designers are losing access to the knowledge that would help them create more imaginative and beautiful print projects for their clients.
Printfarm shows which techniques exist at all
Printfarm is Metapaper’s platform to help designers realize their print projects from start to finish. Articles and tutorials on print processes and special techniques highlight possibilities that young designers may not be aware of, so they can use these techniques to bring their print projects to life.
