HubCast synchronizes a world of print through a network of some of the greatest on demand offset and digital printing companies around the globe. Our web based software interface allows graphic professionals to submit print orders for production anywhere in the world, often overnight or even the same day.”

Matt Fates of Ascent Venture Partner states, “Commercial print is one of the largest industries around the globe. With recent developments and modern technology, it just makes sense that you should be able to print what, where and when you want to.”
