Ed and jlazerus...my gosh, you guys must have worked with the same salespeople I used to. This was a good laugh for a Monday after 4 day weekend!

Thanks kaiserwilhelm, How was the training, documentation, online support/forums? I'm asking because I've had enough with situations of poor customer service(XMPie) and useless documentation(Objectif Lune - PlanetPress) that I'd like to hear what actual users have to say. If you have...

Anyone else get a chuckle whenever the see the words "Digital" and "Reliability" in the same sentence?

Has anyone used this software and if so please give me your thoughts on the usability/functionality. We've been using PlanetPress for our transactional printing and are finding it just is not as versatile as we and our clients would like. I just had a demo of PrintNet at Graph Expo and was...

Aaaaaahhh....job security for those of us who know what they are doing! Keep it coming.

Hello all. I'm considering a move to Seattle and would like to tour/visit some top notch Seattle print/design facilities. I will be in Seattle from Sept. 29 - Oct. 1 2008 and would like to meet as many people as possible. I'll have my portfolio and resume on hand, but you can view it all on...

What are you using for crash stamping NCR forms? We're on the market to buy one, I need to know what is being used and how reliable the machines are. Thank you!

Apparently Adobe is listening as well.

acrobat.com This is very cool but I don't know much about it. Essentially acts as a free FTP site. Very good for the prepress department trying to survive without an FTP.

Hahahaha, So true. My last place had our CFO acting as IT! Is it me, or is there generally a serious lacking of any common sense in todays print owners? They have no idea what it takes to run a shop successfully and have no intention of investing in their most important asset of all....THE...
