Mimeo Print

Print on demand (POD) is a type of order fulfillment where documents are printed only when, and as soon as, an order is placed. With POD technology, you can print in single or small quantities, rather than pre-printing materials in bulk. There are no minimum order requirements. The main benefit of POD is the ability to print the exact number of documents you need, when you need them, reducing costs and eliminating waste from unused, excess documents. In addition, POD lets you personalise documents via variable data printing (VDP). VDP allows for customisation of elements, such as text, graphics, and images, from one printed piece to the next.

Mimeo Print is an online, on-demand print platform that allows you to build, proof, and print as much or as little as you want at any given time. There are no minimum print order requirements. Customers can order printed documents from any device, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mimeo Print includes an online document library, where you can securely store the documents you build for future access.

Mimeo Print is easy to use. You don’t have to be a tech genius to use our platform. Both simple and intuitive, Mimeo Print helps to streamline file upload, document building, proofing, and ordering in just a few clicks.

Yes! Mimeo Print provides full visibility into your document’s journey. Now, you can see where each package is in the delivery stage, all on one page, and without having to manually check a tracking number.

Mimeo Print provides real time pricing, instantly reflecting document specifications and changes. You’ll always know your exact price prior to placing an order – no hidden surprises.

Yes! Mimeo enables you to place orders remotely from anywhere, from multiple devices, including smartphones and tablets. Additionally, we support the latest versions of all web browsers.

Mimeo has an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in place at all of our production facilities. In the event of power failure caused by outages or inclement weather, Mimeo’s production facilities automatically utilise UPS, ensuring continuous operation and full security implementation.

Mimeo’s UPS operates for 3 consecutive days without refueling. Additionally, contracts are in place that guarantee Mimeo priority during extended crisis events. We pride ourselves in being available for our customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Mimeo allows you to ship your documents quickly. If you submit your order by 4 PM BST, we can deliver it to any destination in the UK as soon as the next morning.

Every Mimeo Print order is unique, produced on-demand through a defined production process. Mimeo’s production facilities work in conjunction with on-demand orders, by only producing orders in the quantity needed at the time needed. This helps us to levelise our production, eliminate the need for inventory, and reduce document waste.

Employees are only granted access to those tools required to complete the tasks assigned to them. The Mimeo production process is managed by sophisticated, computerised systems that govern all access control and task allocation to fully prevent any unnecessary access.

Each time a file is uploaded to Mimeo, a unique certificate is automatically assigned to the user. The file can only be decrypted by Mimeo during the transfer of this data. A secure protocol (HTTPS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are utilised within all of Mimeo’s platforms. These are the same encrypted document transfer technologies utilised by financial and retail institutions. Numerous financial services companies in the Fortune 100 entrust Mimeo to secure their documents.

Mimeo not only enables sites to have their own file repository, we also provide users with a robust content library. This includes the ability to securely store, save, and share documents through their individual content libraries. Additional sharing permissions can be set for documents, such as read-only, customise, or full control. Our customers often organise their libraries, permissioning access to the most current folders of their content. Outdated content can be removed or archived, organisation wide from a single account, eliminating any room for error in terms of version control.

You can upload PDF files.

Mimeo Print’s online proof will show you what your document will look like. If your content isn’t quite fitting with the folds or cutlines of a document, we provide free templates for download. These templates give you guidelines and dimensions for your content layout in either PDF or Microsoft Word format.

Mimeo Marketplace

Mimeo Marketplace is a central portal for all your print and digital content. Create your own corporate storefront where your team members and external partners can order approved materials, branded merchandise, templates, business cards, and much more.

For the majority of our products, there are no setup fees. For low volume specialised documents, there are nominal setup fees that will be included in the real-time quote for clarity. Based on the size of the order, these fees can be discounted or potentially provided at no cost tied to a customer commitment.

Mimeo Marketplace enables you to create a completely custom, branded storefront for shoppers. Additionally, Mimeo Marketplace can be white labeled at an additional cost, meaning that all Mimeo branding is removed, and the platform appears to be integrated with your own internal portals/platforms. The way in which both platforms operate, however, are fully customisable through setting permissions, building a content repository, and establishing an address book.

Mimeo allows for customers to warehouse their items. Warehousing occurs at our production facilities. These items can be pulled and placed into shipments of printed items. These items can be kitted, bundled, and shipped with other print, or nonprint items.

Yes. You can have one or multiple administrators, and provide full level administration and secondary level administration.

Your administrator(s) set permissions in place for those accessing your content and materials in Marketplace. You are able to control what content users can view, who can share, and limit who cannot. Full level administrators can change Marketplace settings. They can enable or disable account credit, order specifications, and even documents on specific accounts. Secondary administrators are able to publish content.

Your administrator can add as many or as few shoppers as you want. This can be a small defined group, or to the public. There is no limit to the number of shoppers.

Available ordering permissions include order approvals, access requests, and budget controls for customers with multiple shoppers, all at no additional cost. Administrators can set order limits, shipping methods, and document number limits for specific or all shoppers.

Yes! Include up to 4 custom fields for your shoppers, which capture any data you would like to on a per order basis. This data will feed into invoicing and reporting features, and can provide additional information to help catalog orders and track material usage.

Mimeo Marketplace is multilingual and can also support different currencies for EMEA-based customers. Each individual account and Marketplace storefront can be set up in one or multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, and German, at no additional charge.

Mimeo’s robust reporting features give you insight into how content requests contribute to lead generation tracking. With Marketplace, your administrator can view which documents are ordered, provide recipient information, and see what is contained in each specific order. Mimeo can alter messaging and modify materials based on your reporting needs.

Yes! If you want more detailed information, ad hoc or monthly billing reports are available and customisable.

Mimeo allows for document edits and real time proofing. Combined with quick turn printing capabilities and no order minimums, creating a Mimeo virtual library eliminates the need to warehouse. As a result, our customers who have warehoused documents in their previous solutions experience substantial cost savings by eliminating document waste and other associated soft costs.

Yes! Mimeo works with a network of trusted partners to produce non-paper items (small selection of merchandise articles). Non-print materials can be warehoused, on-site, by Mimeo. All warehoused items can be bundled, kitted, and shipped with documents, further minimising related shipping costs.

If you are redeeming content from a phone or a tablet and currently do not have a Mimeo account, start by downloading our Mimeo Digital App from Apple’s App Store, Amazon Appstore for Android, MS Windows 10 Store, or Google Play. From there, you can register for an account.

Alternatively, create your account by going to https://www.mimeo.digital/sign-up

Once created, you can begin to download content at will.

In your account, click the “Redeem Key” button located on the bottom of your screen. A pop-up window will appear. Enter the alphanumeric code provided to you by your content distributor. Click Add. Once the code is verified, your library will automatically be populated with the requested content. If your code is denied, please contact your content distributor to verify that the code you received is valid. Also, feel free to use the assist bubble in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen for fast technical assistance.

To take notes on a piece of content, make sure that the file is open and that you are in the secure reader. Once inside, look for the icon tools in the upper right-hand corner. If you hover your cursor over each one, a popup will appear, telling you what the tool does.

After selecting a tool, you will need to select the location in the document where you would like to use it, by clicking on that part of the screen. To view more tools, use the down arrow icon, which will extend the toolbar.

When you archive your content, you’re not deleting it from your Mimeo Digital account. Instead, you are storing it in a separate folder.

If you archive a piece of content that you want to access again, simply click Archive on the left navigation pane. In this screen, you will see all of your archived content (or nothing if you haven’t archived content). You can interact with and view the content like you normally would in your Content Library. To unarchive content, click the content action menu (indicated by 3 small vertically aligned circles) located on the right side of the file name. Now, select Unarchive. Your unarchived content will now reappear in its original library and content category.

Admins can allow or revoke offline access as well as file downloading and printing.

The group notes feature allows all of the members of a given content distribution to see one another’s notes and to post a reply, if desired.

Turning group notes on or off is a tool housed within your distribution settings. Each time you create a new distribution you will be able to manage this tool. (Much like file download, local printing, and expiration dates.)

To turn on or off group notes, simply toggle the Group Notes setting within the distribution window.

Mimeo Digital users can categorise their content using the Categories tool associated with each file.

Each file can be categorised into multiple locations. Once categorised, content will no longer appear in the general library, but rather in those designated categories.

Tools available to you include renaming, downloading the original file, publishing to Marketplace, and more.

A Unique Key can be used by a single audience member. Upon use, it becomes null and void. This prevents the passing on of access to an unauthorised user.

A Shared Key is a single code used by multiple participants/audience members. Once the number of uses on a shared key is reached, this code becomes null and void.

After clicking the Finish button on your distribution window, you will be provided with both a Copy Key and a Copy Link option. Admins can use either option to communicate access to their end users.

The URL for the Mimeo Digital Library is mimeo.digital. If you have a custom URL, the format will be something like awesomefactory.mimeo.digital.
