    Best MIS Scheduling Module

    I would suggest picking an MIS whose scheduling interface you like and that has an API you can utilize. You could, over time, slowly build out the set of rules yourself that determine how a job gets scheduled and use the API to represent that in your MIS. You'll just need to make sure you always...

    Advice about specific web to print job

    Current Digital Storefront user here. I'd advise removing it from your list of 4. We regret purchasing it and almost everything else seems better and cheaper. Has some nice features on paper but you'll be fighting bugs and defects that won't get fixed. We've been dealing with the some of the...

    A.I. Arrives in the Shop

    That actually is probably fairly realistic.

    Creating a Business Front Website

    Most "web-to-print" software packages require a lot of setup and time managing them and configuring them. Ones that you can set up and leave alone will still require quite a bit of initial setup. There are cheap ones which will look and act cheap without extensive customization ($200-$500...

    Aleyant Integrates EFI-PrintSmith Vision & EFI-Pace with Pressero

    We were charged like $10k by EFI to "turn on" the Pace API, so if you're a Pace user interested in this but don't have that licensed...be aware. The price gouging never stops on the EFI train! Happy to see Pressero expanding pre-built integrations though.

    Labels not aligned

    What software generated the label for you to print? The margin settings in the print dialogue seem to be fixed by the printer and it'd be better if we can get the software you used to generate this label PDF file with the extra margin in the file as it's generating it.

    Labels not aligned

    What software are you printing them from? The general answer may be a software setting that defines the margin on top of the page so that the image starts after that margin.

    Ricoh 9200 Pricing ?

    Kinda hard to know if you're getting a good deal if you have no idea what the going rate for other people is. Sharing that information is good for buyers. No vendor is ever going to take advantage of the hidden nature of the pricing in order to give you a good deal. It'll be to give you a bad...

    You guys get pensions?

    Avanti Slingshot users in Tennessee or Indiana?

    Current EFI Pace user here. I would strongly suggest not going with EFI Pace unless it contains features you absolutely must have that aren't found in your competing options. EFI has some great front-line support agents but once a bug or defect is found, it might literally be years before it is...

    Enfocus SWITCH and Fuji XMF - to intergrate or not

    You actually got Metrix to work good enough?

    Pressero

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of volume are you running through Pressero? Do you have a rough estimate of monthly number of orders or line items? Also, another one of our staff wanted to ask you: is there any ability to add custom scripts to some of the variable templates? Sometimes our...

    Finding Good Employees ? Are We Crazy

    I think most who hold the opinion that America is "greedy" or "unequal" aren't yearning for 100% equality, but would like a society to guarantee a reasonable quality of life (definition of reasonable varies from society to society) to even its poorest citizens (question #2) and observe that much...

    Logo Design -- legal review procedures?

    I have a memory of someone posting about a similar topic some time ago - some US legal precedent for the printer being liable for printing trademarked or copyrighted material supplied by the client? Sound familiar to anyone? I know our shop doesn't have the capacity to verify the client owns and...

    Pressero

    Ah, my favorite soapbox: we're actually a current EFI Digital Storefront (aka MarketDirect Storefront) user and are trying to escape to (hopefully) Pressero. EFI's DSF has a lot of potential and their document builder is definitely a strong selling point, but very few things actually work like...

    Pressero

    Thanks for your input Justin, that is super helpful. I've got a couple more questions if you're willing to answer them: Is there anything you wish worked a little bit better about Pressero? I know no system is perfect but the shortcomings/types of issues you deal with can say a lot about the...

    New Imposition Software

    Warning from a current EFI user: stay away from any EFI software if you can help it. We have Pace, Metrix, and (M)DSF. It might look nice on the outside (and it truly often has potential), but on the inside you'll find a mess of bugs, defects, and issues that are rarely addressed. 18-24 month...
