eQuorum Launches plot.com, an E-Commerce Marketplace
for On-Demand Large-Format Printing
ATLANTA, Oct. 17, 2000--
plot.com - where engineers, architects, manufacturers, map publishers
& others make direct digital print submission to reprographics
providers worldwide
eQuorum, a leading provider of Internet-based business solutions for a wide range of industries worldwide,
today announced the launch of plot.com, a global marketplace for plotting and printing on the Internet.
The site, which includes a comprehensive network of reprographics firms from around the world, enables
reprographers' current customers as well as potential customers to easily and securely submit plot jobs.
plot.com offers numerous benefits for both reprographics firms and their customers. One of the most important
is that plot.com delivers print ready images to the reprographer in industry-standard format. plot.com
automatically generates print ready documents from any Windows application for submission to reprographer.
This ensures that the printed paper is exactly what the customer expects.
Another key benefit to customers is eliminating the need to print paper copies for their print service provider to
duplicate. Submitting digital plot jobs over the Internet saves the time and expense of first printing hard copies and
then sending them out for duplication. Using plot.com and Web delivery can help save days or even weeks of
time to complete a project. A complete record history of each print transaction is maintained in a secure database
for use by both the client and reprographer.
plot.com is open to anyone. Customers can work with their preferred print provider, or locate a service
provider in another geographic area. Neither the reprographics firms nor their customers have to subscribe to a
project web site to use plot.com.
"We're looking forward to doing business through plot.com because it will eliminate the headaches of receiving
native CAD files with incorrect line widths, missing fonts, files and other key components," said Bob Kraft,
vice-president, MasterGraphics, Madison, Wisconsin. "Because plot.com converts the native CAD file to a plotter
ready format, we save a great deal of time. Customers can be assured that what they send us is what will be
printed."
"The time required to distribute copies of deliverable documents can delay design and construction projects,"
said Frank Fortson, president and CEO of eQuorum. "With plot.com all of the time consuming steps are
eliminated, helping users complete their jobs in a faster, more cost-effective manner. plot.com emphasizes
convenience, reliability, and repeatability for production plotting and delivery."
plot.com users can organize and review their jobs online before requesting print services. Then, they can select
from a global network of top-quality reprographics partners. plot.com offers one of the most secure processes
available to print and distribute the resulting documents. Only the user has access to their plot data. Only their
chosen reprographer can download the files.
