MacOS and Apple hardware clearly has a prevalent place in our industry. Historical reasons made it the go-to platform to use and its use and adoption still remains strong to this day - many shops, if not all Mac, at least have some Macs running something important. Announced yesterday is the...

These guys do good investigative reporting. They also operate as a non-profit and are digital only, so maybe that helps. Investigative Journalism and News in the Public Interest

I believe so - they have a free version of Free Form they give away that can do simple stuff (check your Fiery Software Manager for the install) and a crazy expensive version of Free Form that ostensibly does more.

We use their Pace MIS, MarketDirect Storefront (MDSF) web-to-print, and Metrix imposition software. MDSF is just a dumpster fire. They integrated Metrix into Pace but we have yet to find a way to get it function properly, and Pace itself is the "OK-est" of the bunch with some head-scratching...

Maybe the Fiery team is better at this than EFI's other software product teams. We're 6 years in using three of their other software products and making our voice heard to them hasn't panned out. Now I do both =)

Was that a joke?

Can any previous users of CHILI comment? Did their pricing scheme used to involve a single, large up-front license payment? Or did they always charge monthly (SaaS and all that)?

They got bought shortly after I talked with them - I guess their new owners jacked up the price from what I was quoted back then. Sorry to hear that - I'll stop suggesting them as the cheap option.

Yeah, it doesn't really answer any questions like that which is why I asked.

So is the difference you can now use CHILI publisher with a month-to-month subscription rather than buying it outright? Is this just a change in pricing model, or did functionality change?

Our shop is stuck with a high-priced piece of junk software so I don't have experience with anything else but it (EFI's MarketDirect Storefront), but in trying to find replacements I found Print Reach | MyOrderDesk Web-to-Print Software for Print and Mail Shops to be pretty cheap and powerful -...

Never tried the corporate portal feature or custom templates, so unfortunately I can't give you any insight there. We already had web-to-print software in place for corporate portals and the value to this in our eyes was the pre-built B2C storefront. Yes, you can get the CYMK PDF for yourself...

Yeah, this is kinda how you have to view health insurance in America. But it'd be nice if routine medical care could be made affordable as well. Or even regular things like having a kid, be made affordable. And maybe that $100k brain surgery shouldn't actually cost $100k? But it does cause...

We use one. We got it set up but never put much effort into driving traffic to it so it's say pretty silent. One downside is that it's pretty standalone - there is little to no opportunity to link it up to your own software and systems if you want to produce an order received through it...

True, they are. A quick google search allows me to answer: "US senators & governors" https://time.com/5815652/national-stockpile-medical-supplies-unusable/

We have the option of enrolling in the plan negotiated by and offered by our employer. If they don't offer one (or you're not eligible for it), you can then enroll in an plan through the "Marketplace" required to exist and established by the ACA law. You're either not eligible for those plans if...

A bunch delivered from the US national stockpile were reportedly faulty as well...so that stockpile could use some restocking as well apparently.

I wonder if this is a fair comparison to make as the full impact of the coronavirus death-wise has yet to be felt? It seems to require a lot more medical intervention to survive than the flu and the high strain on a given medical system caused by that can have rolling impacts not immediately...

Father-in-law had to get tested. He had shortness of breath to the point of driving to the emergency room. They triage him outside in a tent, administered the test, then admitted him to a room in isolation. He stayed there 5 days waiting for the test results (they all get sent to a single lab...

I mean for many businesses their two options are: 1) Close down now because it is definitely bad now and they can't make payroll, or 2) Take the emergency loans and possibly survive long enough to support themselves again when it may not be bad anymore...or close down later if not. Don't have...
