Print & design

Plan the paper. Send it to press.

Print isn’t an afterthought bolted to a web CMS. The planner, the layout engine, the InDesign panel and the e-edition are one loop — from story budget to press-ready PDF.

Return PDF in, e-edition out

  • Edition Planner — pick the stories, shape the sections, build the whole paper from one screen
  • A layout assistant trained on your paper — auto-builds pages from the patterns in your own back issues, with zero overset
  • Send-to-press PDF — pagination, jumps, folios handled
  • The returned press PDF becomes the e-edition automatically — no second workflow

Design Desk runs inside InDesign.

Your designers keep the tool they’re fastest in. The panel pulls the story budget, places stories and photos, fits heds, sets jumps and mugs, and sends the finished page to press — all connected to the same platform the newsroom writes in.

Pull the budget → place → fit → pressPhoto Desk panel for Photoshop, too
