Image Processing for Web-to-Print Applications

This article highlights approaches to building interactive online editors that work in a browser and enable print design creation. Rendering graphics is key to properly displaying products in a browser. Customer's Canvas has shifted many image processing tasks to the front end, which has increased the speed of our editors, boosted the quality of graphics, and improved matching the design in the browser with the printed version. Our approach allows us to process designs on the front end with fewer requests to the server and without sacrificing performance. These innovations were recognized with a 2020 InterTech Technology Award from Printing Industries of America.
