- Visually flexible: custom templates can mold the look/feel, globally

Why the name Stanhope?
Stanhope, named after the Stanhope Printing Press that improved upon Gutenberg’s design by using sturdy iron and steel parts and hand levers to increase printing speed and quality.
Ideal for isolated network systems!
Although Chromium-based web browsers are invoked to convert HTML to PDF, no internet connection is required.
Stanhope is ideally suited for "LAN in a can" and virtualized environments, as it is portable and works offline.
Works Everywhere
Stanhope works client-side, on a shared filesystem, server-side, in the cloud, and on any operating system.
Build your own interfaces: invoke the software with PHP from your own web app!
