Dear PrintSmith Users and Friends,
 
With this issue I am announcing the availability of a  new bar code scanner. See below for more details.
 
Many PrintSmith users have asked, "why should I hire you instead of someone else (PrintSmith personal). Read some of those answers below, you may be surprised to find the truth!
 
The latest version of PrintSmith is 8.1.15, watch the website as 8.1.16 was suppose to be released in July -- we are still waiting!
 
Thanks all for looking at my website, I hope you enjoy it and find it both informative and interesting.

New Product Introduced

ValueScan II

  

I am introducing a new scanner today that i very similar to the one alot of my readers have purchased. This scanner, the ValueScan II is lighter and has a bigger light to scan with. This means that you can be further from the bar code when scanning. It also comes with an optional stand to place it on when not in use.

 

The cost is slightly higher than my Econoscans that I sell, but about 30% less than others sell it for.

 

For a limited time only, I will give you the stand for free as long as you purchase atleast 2 bar code scanners! This is a $25.00 savings on each scanner!

My Consulting Visits
  
People ask me, why should I hire you instead of someone that works for the software company?
 
Aside from my impeccable credentials, here are some other reasons. All of these reasons can be backed up with lots of references from my clients and you are encouraged to ask me for references.
 
1) 15+ years as an Independent PrintSmith Consultant.
2) 35+years in the Printing Industry, with many of those years as an owner of a multi unit printing franchise.with over 35 employees in 5 locations.Knowledgeable in all forms of printing.
3) Normal work days are 8-5 even on the final day. I normally leave your town on the next day. This way you get full days of training.
4) Unlimited, free support after the visit.
5) Hardware products for sale at lower prices.
6) Accounting background to help you integrate PrintSmith with your accounting software.
7) Many references available. Talk to other users who hired me and get the facts directly from them!
Here is my resume for your review!
Are you backing up PrintSmith and
are you restoring it?
 
Well it happened again! This time a user in Michigan lost his PrintSmith data. Although he was backing up PrintSmith on a regular basis, he failed to restore PrintSmith as I strongly suggested in this newsletter before.
 
Jim failed to take his backup copy of PrintSmith and restore it to see if it would work. As such, it didn't work and he lost approximately 2 years worth of data.
 
1) Back up PrintSmith
2) Restore PrintSmith at least once a quarter to verify the data is backing up correctly.
 
This is another topic I discuss at all training sessions!
PUSH Support Expands
 
Thanks to everyone who signed up for my PUSH - PrintSmith Users Support Hotline. It is growing and adding PrintSmith users each and every week! The rates are $550.00 per year or $300.00 per 6 months. For this you get 24/7 support and this includes nights, weekends, and holidays!
 
Try it, you will be surprised on the level of support I do give!
BAR CODE WARNING
 
As many of you know, I sell the bar code scanners that work with PrintSmith. They are guaranteed for one year (unless of course you drop them or break them).
 
Please be aware, not all bar code scanners work with PrintSmith and not all of them can be programmed to work with PrintSmith. Although you may find similar one on the web, please note that I only support the ones I sell.
 
They are priced at a discount as I sincerely believe ALL PrintSmith users should be using them. They save time when tracking jobs and if you use Tracker, they are a must!
 
Please call or email me on pricing.
