Abstract
A system and method of producing labels at remote locations worldwide in communication with a server and central database via the internet is shown and described. The present invention accommodates vastly different printing methods including thermal printing, lithographic printing, etc. For lithographic printing or other printing methods using plates, a ratioing algorithm is used to determine the optimum number of plates and label layout on each plate to minimize production costs.
