Editor's Notes
Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market. In Asia, publication and commercial printing is a growing business fuelled by developing markets such as China and India. Printing in Asia is ready for a period of dynamic growth, driven partially by high-end packaging applications, especially in Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia.

Project:MyPhotoFun Provides Web-to-Print Portal for PhotographersVertical Market:Printing ServicesBusiness Application:Specialty Printing/Retail TED Gigaprint, a large digital printing service in the Netherlands, developed MyPhotoFun, a convenient and inexpensive way for amateur photographers to produce albums, calendars, and agendas from their digital photos. The program has created a significant new revenue stream for the company and has spread across Europe through partner printers.Program ObjectivesOffer amateur digital photographers a convenient method of making quality prints from digital images Print images in book formOffers faster and more convenient production compared to traditional methodsSignificant Results Reported by UserSignificant new revenue for TED Gigaprint Print volume doubled during the first few months Number of business partners grewBusiness continues to grow 10% per monthDescriptionTo generate more digital printing business, TED Gigaprint decided there was a market for printing digital images for amateur digital photographers. The key was coming up with an attractive alternative to the usual practices of uploading images and printing loose prints. The program, dubbed MyPhotoFun, provides users with an easy-to-use Web-based system for arranging digital photos into bound albums and calendars. When they choose to print, they get high-quality color printing at about half the cost of processing film per print. Customers download free software, add captions, and drag and drop their photos into a choice of formats and sizes. Then they upload the file for printing. TED Gigaprint and print partners fulfill orders using automated Web-to-print software to print on Xerox iGen3 digital presses. The customer receives the finished products within five days of the order. DocuTraffic software at TED Gigaprint handles billing and payment to Web and print partners automatically. The MyPhotoFun service generates significant revenue for TED Gigaprint and its partners. Consumer-oriented Web sites post the MyPhotoFun link to collect a percentage of revenue from each job initiated at their sites. Consumers pay in advance, eliminating credit concerns for printers. Print partners receive jobs fully imposed and ready for printing on the iGen3 press; and TED Gigaprint’s workflow enables automated, profitable batch printing. Since the service launched in June 2005, total print volume has doubled in each of the first few months of operation and continues to grow at 10% per month. New partners join regularly, adding geographic reach and incremental revenue for all.
