VISTA & LEOPARD
We've been hearing about the new Microsoft Vista operating system for years. It has finally arrived and we now have at least one user successfully running PrintPoint 5.0 on this new operating system. As soon as Apple releases Macintosh OSX Leopard in Spring 2007, we will begin testing to insure compatibility.

Success Story: Brooks Litho
 

We looked at a number of print management systems and the majority of them were extremely costly and not very user friendly. Certain systems required us to purchase modules or features that a smaller digital printing company like ours would never use.  PrintPoint was virtually one of the only systems that addressed the majority of our needs, is easy to use and is reasonably priced.
 
Before PrintPoint, almost everything we did from estimating to billing and shipping had to be done manually.  With this program in place we have been able to automate and seamlessly transition all jobs from the estimating stages right through to shipping.  Our employees love being able to track jobs right from their workstations rather than having to track the customer service rep down!  PrintPoint has enabled us to streamline our estimating and billing procedures which gives our employees more time to focus on servicing our customers??? needs.  The entire PrintPoint system has helped us become a much more efficient business ??? and it integrates with QuickBooks which is a bonus for our Accounting department!  Not only do they have an excellent product but we found their technical support people to be some of the best in the industry. There is virtually no down time when it comes to upgrades and any technical issues we experience are - more often than not - resolved on the spot!  We owe much of our increase in productivity over the last few years to the PrintPoint program and its knowledgeable staff.

Helpful Information

Data File Sizes
 
Some users are beginning to see larger data files, which can present a little bit of a headache for the user. Not to worry, we have two ways which this issue can be resolved.  If your data file begins to gets close to 1.5 gig in size, we can quickly add a Data Segment to the file without the need to quit PrintPoint. If your data file is already larger than 1.5 gig, give us a call so we can use 4D Tools to add the needed segment. The process is painless except that you will need to have all users log out of PrintPoint before we begin.

Today's Tip

Suppose you want to create an estimate for a 64-page book plus cover and you would like the estimate description to contain as much information as possible. The descriptions to be printed in the quote and job ticket should also be detailed. However, when the job is completed, the descriptions printed on the invoice and shipping documents can be more generic. To learn how to modify these different descriptions click HERE
