of printing system automation at Mimeo.

The team has developed a complete set of APIs/Web Services called the Mimeo Print Factory. These services are not only the connection between Mimeo and its partners but its also used as the back-end system to Mimeo Connect. In this way both of these services are at the core of Mimeo's automation strategy.

system and print production

Use the Mimeo Print Factory API if...•you already have a front-end system and you need to drive your

print product into the hands of your customers.
