1. Introducing SmartDesign Print, template based print artwork production in MediaFerry*
Details
In addition to our revolutionary SmartDesign Digital workflow, we're now introducing SmartDesign Print. The new system will allow users to create print artworks using a browser. Users can select templates from our template library and update copy/image to create a new print artwork in no time.
Alongside, this will also let users handle last-minute changes and late-request effectively. They can use SmartCorrect Print (a part of SmartDesign and MediaFerry Proofing module) to make changes in the artwork directly using any web browser.

We're glad to introduce SmartReports, a custom reports builder in MediaFerry. This would allow users to view, create, save and share customized reports based on specific business requirements.
