Developed following close collaboration with key worldwide users and end customers, it provides market leading product flexibility and revenue generating features to maximise opportunities within photobook and photo gift."
Taopix Portfolio 3.3 is made up of three key solutions:

• Professional: A feature-rich solution designed to facilitate growth through B2B2C partnerships - now widely considered the industry standard
• Enterprise: The premium platform for self-publishing and asset-management connectivity
There is a set of five primary modules that provide 'end to end' functionality: Creator, Designer, Control Centre, Installermaker and Production.
Ensuring compatibility with leading digital printing solutions, Taopix Portfolio 3.3's Production module also offers JDF support.
The Designer module enables end customers to apply page style and background changes to all pages within a photobook. The company explained that this user-friendly tool dramatically increases the opportunity for creativity and personalisation.
