The iPad, introduced in 2010, single-handedly changed the way we share information by way of apps. Apps are no longer a luxury and are quickly becoming a necessity in today's market. The forced adoption of this new medium is happening much sooner than expected as people are using iPads and tablets more than ever before. Over 30 million apps are downloaded daily and 1 in 3 people report using their tablet more often than their TV. The bottom line is that tablet use is growing and will continue to grow. How can you use this to your advantage?

Have you thought of creating your own apps to advertise your work or product, or to publish a catalog or a magazine?

Publishing an app can be overwhelming. The learning curve can be steep and expensive. With the number of digital publishing solutions available, choosing the right one is difficult. Adding interactive content, understanding how to design for tablets, and how to negotiate the complicated process of getting your app built and distributed to the Apple, Android and Google stores only adds to the confusion.

With your knowledge of InDesign or QuarkXpress, the right software and three days of training, you will be publishing your first app in three days! Just like we've done with color management, automation, and process control, we will do with digital publishing. Our turnkey solution includes helping you find the right digital publishing solution for your needs, implementation and training on site, and post installation support.

We make sure that your print and digital content complement each other while respecting the rules of readability that are specific to print and tablet.

Digital publication is growing exponentially. Don't hesitate and get left behind. Give us a call, skip the learning curve, and publish your app effortlessly and effectively.
