Bringing Automation to the World of Print
Welcome to Cyan 7 Systems

We are a Internet systems developer specialized in designing and creating automated processes for clients who wish to automate various print related workflows.

Over the past 6 years, we have pioneered the development of web-based systems that automate the online creation of documents subsequently used in state of the art print-manufacturing applications. Our most widely used product - the Automated Business Card Module is now used by many companies and printers to automate a previously very manual and error prone process.

As well, we develop custom workflow solutions that link clients to integrated manufacturing processes to produce end-to-end automation projects. Innovative design and the use of advanced tool sets can deliver stunning levels of automation in a variety of print manufacturing scenarios.

We like to think of this overall process as one that links the RGB world of the Internet to the CYMK world of print manufacturing. There are very few software developers with extensive experience in high end print imaging applications. For over 30 years, we have been creating world class print imaging applications and, in the past 6 years, we have been applying and extending these efforts to bring high quality print systems to clients via the Internet.

Printing & publishing meet the web
Web business processes a must !

Printing & publishing is an entirely digital process that can benefit tremendously from the new capabilities offered by Internet technologies. New digital workflows have made new relationship models possible. They also allow radical reengineering of business processes for clients that vastly improves their experience in creating, ordering, and managing their printed products.

It is clear that both print and electronic forms of communication will coexist for a long time. The challenge is to develop the online capabilities required to exploit an e-business world as well as to ensure that printers and publishers will be able to effectively participate in rapidly expanding electronic supply chain processes.

E-structure leads to specializations

The foundation to being able to offer truly differentiated services for a printer or broker is an e-infrastructure. We develop the minimal infrastructure required in order to support initial client oriented services. These services can include online ordering systems, inventory fulfillment systems, or specialized demand publishing solutions.

A history of innovation

The principals of Cyan 7 have been responsible for some of the most important innovations in the printing and publishing fields over the past 30 years. They invented electronic imposition which paved the way to automated prepress solutions including large format imagesetters, CTP systems as well as demand digital printing systems.

Additionally, we have pioneered new approaches to automated database publishing which encompasses programmatic control of high quality page makeup systems.

Harnessing the Internet to serve new printing and publishing business models is simply a continuation of the pioneering work done since the mid 1970s.
