Printing can be a significant expense to any company. Before sending something off to the presses, make sure you, your employees and your printer all understand exactly how the flow of documents and approvals will work by using the pre-press process flow swimlane template included in SmartDraw. Modify the steps or participants to reflect the specific process you will be following, and share the completed process chart with all the participants.
