PersonalEffect StoreFlow Pro
HIGH-VOLUME WEB-TO-PRINT STOREFRONTS THAT SUPPORT ANY ADOBE INDESIGN DOCUMENT FEATURE
PersonalEffect StoreFlow + InDesign Server = PersonalEffect StoreFlow Pro
Get the best of both worlds. StoreFlow Pro combines XMPie's high-performance composition engine with Adobe InDesign Server, automatically using the most appropriate engine for each product. The result is maximum speed for everyday jobs and full support for even the most sophisticated Adobe InDesign documents.
Two Composition Engines. One Powerful Storefront.
- XLIM for speed. XMPie's proprietary composition engine delivers fast, efficient output for high-volume personalized products.
- Adobe InDesign Server for creative freedom. Compose directly from native InDesign files and support even the most sophisticated document designs.
Choose the right engine for each product, combining maximum throughput with complete Adobe InDesign compatibility in a single storefront.
- High-volume production environments where composition speed and throughput are critical to profitability.
- Brands that refuse to compromise on design and need support for the full Adobe InDesign feature set.
- Commercial printers, agencies, and marketing service providers working with client-supplied InDesign artwork that must be reproduced exactly as designed.
- Enterprise web-to-print operations that need both production-scale performance and complete Adobe InDesign compatibility.
Common Questions
Do I need StoreFlow Pro, or is StoreFlow enough?
For most web-to-print applications, StoreFlow is the perfect place to start. StoreFlow's high-performance composition engine powers the vast majority of personalized print products. StoreFlow Pro is designed for organizations that need advanced Adobe InDesign functionality, higher composition capacity, or support for particularly complex document designs. Because StoreFlow Pro builds on the same platform, upgrading doesn't require you to rebuild storefronts, products, or workflows.
What is a composition engine, and why does it matter?
The composition engine is what transforms your templates and customer data into print-ready output. It plays a critical role in personalization, production speed, and design flexibility. StoreFlow Pro gives you the best of both worlds: XMPie's high-speed XLIM composition engine for efficient large-scale production, and Adobe InDesign Server for products that require the full Adobe InDesign feature set and complete design fidelity.
Does StoreFlow Pro include everything in StoreFlow?
Yes. StoreFlow Pro includes all the storefront, personalization, production automation, and integration capabilities of PersonalEffect StoreFlow, while adding Adobe InDesign Server for advanced document composition. The result is a powerful web-to-print platform that combines enterprise-grade automation with complete Adobe InDesign compatibility.
