The growth of the Internet has created
an explosion of print content. A large percentage of printing
is off the web. However, most web content is optimized for

and print. The value of print is not fully realized in the

for distributing print in a web based publishing environment.
These revolutionary ideas hold the potential of transforming
the distributed digital publishing practices.
