Blinkplan, an online flatplan system, has been launched,which saves time and helps prevent potentially costly pagination mistakes at print stage, the company says.
Implemented through a web browser, Blinkplan’s online flatplan system automatically reflows pages when a spread is relocated, removing the need to manually shift spreads and rename them, and displays a running subtotal of how many adverts and editorial pages.
The system calculates ideal locations for bind-ins and checks content-filled pages against print section sizes to make sure they match up. It also generates a PDF to easily email or print the flatplan, allowing colleagues to view. Payment is calculated according to the number of flatplans required.
