Abstract
A system for proofing a product over a network comprising a first computing device (110) that receives a product from a user, an operation module (191) that analyzes the product for print intent parameters, and a second computing device (185) that allows a user to finalize the product through a three-dimensional visualization, in which finalization by the user of the product causes a contract to be established between the user and a selected print shop provider (115).
Claims15
A system for proofing a product over a network, comprising:
- a first computing device (110) that receives a product from a user;
- an operational module (191) that analyzes the product for print intent parameters;
- and
- a second computing device (185) that allows user to finalize the product through a three-dimensional visualization;
- in which finalization by the user of the product causes a contract to be established between the user and a selected print shop provider (115),
A method of proofing a product for printing comprising:
- receiving (205) a product to be printed from a user;
- analyzing (210) the product for defined intent parameters;
- choosing (215) a print shop provider (115) based, in part, on the defined print intent parameters;
- and
- confirming (220) entrance of a contract between the user and the print shop provider (115) when the user accepts a final version of the product via a three-dimensional visualization of the product.
The method of claim in which finalization of the product by the user further comprises referencing a master definition catalog (193), the master definition catalog (193) defining three-dimensional modeling components that are available to the user to further define characteristics of the product through the three-dimensional virtualization.
A computer program product for proofing product for printing, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code that receives (205) a product to be printed from a user;
- computer usable program code that analyzes (210) the product for defined print intent parameters;
- computer usable program code that chooses (215) a print shop provider (115) based on the print intent parameters and the print shop provider's (115) ability to produce a physical copy of the product based on the defined print intent parameters;
- and
- computer usable program code that confirms (220) entrance of a contract between the user and the print shop provider (115) when the user accepts a final version of the product via a three-dimensional visualization of the product.
