CMYKhub has announced it will showcase its Design Desk and online Subscription, Graphic Design & Prepress Platform at PacPrint in June, with attendees encouraged to pre-book a demo or visit Stand D26 to learn how some printers are saving up to $50,000 a year on graphic design and prepress expenses.
Australia’s largest trade printer, CMYKhub has heard the calls from their 4000 strong trade partners for greater support in filling the gap between client brief and putting ink on paper.
Design Desk was launched 18 months ago to provide the print industry with access to a whole team of graphic designers and prepress operators at the click of a button. This service fills the void left post pandemic of many creative staff that were forced to move on or reduce their hours in the wake of business downturn. Design Desk has also provided many businesses including designers and creative agencies the ability to scale quickly at a very low cost.
The multi-level monthly subscription web platform connects the Australian Visual Media industry to CMYKhub’s team of qualified designers. Users simply select from the list of services, whether it be adding bleed to existing artwork or creating a printed product from scratch. Collaboration with the design team is easy via the Design Desk workflow. Anyone can instantly become a Creative Director to manage their artwork without any formal training.
CMYKhub’s National Communications Manager, Glen Francis explains that Design Desk was particularly useful to businesses earlier this year when the pandemic struck down much of Australia’s workforce.
“Design Desk never calls in sick and never goes on holidays, it is a dependable resource”, he points out.
“Many of our early subscribers have also utilised the service to be that extra half a staff member they need when they get busy or their designer needs to concentrate on a complex job”.
Design Desk in numbers looks like this:
As a trade printer, CMYKhub manufactures for other printers, graphic designers, signwriters, marketing and advertising agencies.
