Web-to-Print for In Plant Print Rooms

Seasonal Greetings to all our Skyline customers and Partners from the ePrint team.

Thank you for your business and support throughout 2016.
We look forward to working with you all in 2017 and to helping many more in plant print rooms extend their horizons.

As we conclude 2016 and look forward to the approaching New Year, ePrint wanted to share with you Service Plus. In  a busy print room we understand there isn't always time to focus on additional projects, Service Plus is our newly launched range of supplementary professional services. Watch our video on our Service Plus Storefront Management Service.

Customer News customers
We wanted to briefly mention some of the great customers initiatives we are currently involved in supporting. 

The University of West England (UWE Bristol) has recently launched a new eye-catching University Brand.

A lot of time and effort has gone into designing, planning and launching this new look and it is a reminder of the value an organisation places on its brand and the importance of safeguarding this asset. 

It is no surprise that the print room has a key role in promoting and managing the use of a brand. Already a long-standing Skyline customer, UWE Bristol have recently chosen to invest in Skyline Publish, to further protect their new look and to provide the tools needed to develop their products and markets.


We were delighted when Nottingham Trent University recently agreed to host the ePrint team and a visiting University for the day. It was a chance to showcase Skyline in action and was extremely  useful to the visiting team. Our thanks to the Nottingham Trent Printshop  for their time and effort. 

It is great to see industry print rooms sharing knowledge and advice. It was such a successful day that we would love to do it more often. If you would be happy to host an open day, or would like a opportunity to go to a live demo, please do get in touch.
ePrint joins the ACUP Conference 2017 ACUP

ePrint will be sponsoring and attending the ACUP (Association of College and University Printers) annual conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 2-4 2017.

We look forward to seeing many of our partners and   K-12 & higher education in plant customers there. If you will be joining the conference and would like to arrange a specific time to meet with us, please do let us know.

A quick plug for the ACUP Awards as entries close on 31st December. The Awards recognise 2016 print room accomplishments and there are 15 categories for management initiatives and production excellence. 

We see lots of great work when we are visiting customers; go on shout about it!
Starter for 10. What is SQL? SQL

Many times when talking to customers  it is evident that the software terms we use need more explanation than the 'print' part of Web-to-Print. 

Our new 'starter for 10' series is aimed at giving you a short explanation of some of the terms we often use when meeting  with customers.  To begin  we tackle SQL:

SQL  stands for Structured Query Language  and it is standard language for accessing databases.  SQL allows a program to search or request stored data, in a quick, structured and standard way. 
  • There are different types of SQL (Oracle, Microsoft, Sybase), but they all operate fundamentally the same way. 
  • SQL is structured and defined, it can process requests in fraction of a second and perform complex tasks. 
  • SQL can cross-reference records in different Tables. A Table contains 'columns' and 'rows', each row in a Table is called a Record, each column within that Record is a Field.
  • SQL can find any part of data, a complete Table, a Record or a Field within that Table or multiple Tables.
ePrint require SQL to be installed prior to the Skyline software installation and we use SQL Management Studio to backup client's data prior to any upgrades. 

This is because Skyline uses SQL to store data about the job and production process, to record information and, if required, to start other operations and functions. 

For example; when a job is marked as complete by the User, an entry is written into the Database using SQL which means another part of Skyline knows to add that record to the Accounting file.

For more information on how Skyline uses SQL or any other questions about Skyline installation and/or operation, please do contact us.
And finally...... Danwood
