Magnolia Soft is primarily a Print on Demand (or Art on Demand) solution.
Print on Demand definition
Print on Demand also known as Art on Demand, is the process of producing high quality fine art prints, canvas and framed pictures according to specific, individual requirements.
Advanced digital scanning techniques enable fine art paintings, drawings, photographs and works of art to be captured in immense detail. These images are then stored on computer so that our customers can order exclusive one-off reproductions. Once an artistic image or photograph is captured in this way it can be printed in single quantities, resulting in a bespoke service, whereby orders are tailored to your precise requirements according to our wide range of print products.
The traditional method of print production involved mass-production of a select image at a standard size and format. The process relied on the anticipation of future demand and resulted in limited consumer choice. In contrast, Art on Demand allows the customer to dictate directly the timing and nature of the print production process. Using an innovative method of printing direct from the image file, without the need for conventional plates or films, we can provide far greater flexibility when it comes to supplying prints. Whilst previous methods of production would make it non cost-effective to process a single unique order at a time, with Art on Demand the production process is only initiated upon submission of a confirmed order.
In fact the customer is in charge of the entire production process – from image selection to how it is manufactured. No longer do you need to feel constrained by the amount of space on your wall; with Art on Demand you get a completely bespoke service. This means a wider selection of images can be made available for reproduction, giving everyone much more choice when they come to purchase a fine art or photographic print.
