PRINTSMITH VISION
If you haven't heard yet, PrintSmith's next version will be PrintSmith Vision.
Having seen an advanced copy of it at GraphExpo in October, it will be a browser based program, which means, no more dongles and to activate PrintSmith, you would launch your browser. The benefits are many, any workstation can do price changes, can do daily/monthly closeouts and it will operate on any operating system, both Windows and Apple!
From what I have also heard, only the bare minimum of PrintSmith (no tracker/scheduler/Report Writer) will be launched when it is ready for the public use. This may hinder some users from starting PrintSmith Vision when it is released.
Release date should be sometime in 2012.
I for one am looking forward to this improvement in PrintSmith.

PUSH Support vs. PrintSmith Support
I have had many inquires on which is better to spend money on, my PUSH (PrintSmith Users Support Hotline) or on PrintSmith support by EFI.
This is a decision each user has to make. I have many users on PUSH support AND on PrintSmith Support. I also have many users that are only on PUSH. Although I won't sway users one way or another, keep in mind that the benefits of PUSH are virtually 24/7 support, yes, I DO answer and respond to calls 7 days a week! You also get a dedicated phone number that is answered by me!
Remember, although I give high quality support, I can not give you upgrades on the software, you would need PrintSmith support, however, I do support any and all versions of PrintSmith

BAR CODE READER INFORMATION
I had some users purchase bar code readers from another source. They informed me that they looked just like the ones I sell. However, they don't work with PrintSmith!
There are hundreds of different bar code readers on the market, some look exactly like the ones I sell, however, they won't work on PrintSmith as the ones I use have to be programmed to work. Although I make a small profit on the readers I personally:
- Program them to work with PrintSmith
- I test and re-test them
- They come with a full 12 month warranty
Sometimes, I do get bad readers, but if you ever do from one that I sold you, I will make sure they get replaced at no charge to you!
That is the difference between my readers and other readers!
The same applies for the credit card readers. |
