The YBsoftware product suite uses the internet to energize the school yearbook industry.
Close studies of yearbook sales proves that the number of copies purchased depends on the number of people whose picture appear in the book. Every student that appears is almost a sure purchaser (Yearbook Editing, Layout and Management, Medlin, 1966).
Steadily increasing school enrolments has made it increasingly difficult for the traditional yearbook publisher to leave no one behind. A small yearbook staff using traditional methods and processes simply can not take all the great pictures and get the inside story every time, everywhere. The YBsoftware product suite uses the internet to include everyone and free up the staff to be creative and produce their most memorable book. | |

printing8Judged by the cover
With over 15 years of experience printing high quality yearbooks, one of the largest commercial printers in North America will receive the digitally prepared pages transmitted over the internet. The digital pages are sent directly to press. The traditional, manual pre-press is eliminated which results in a higher degree of accuracy and much faster delivery times. Finally, the school baseball season can make it in the yearbook. There is no room for manual pre-press errors that create delays in delivery or undesired results. |
