Print Shop Solutions

How do I start tracking inventory?
You simply conduct your initial inventory and enter it into the system. From that point on it is completely automated. Every time you do a job you put the order into the system and it will automatically deduct it from the inventory. You can also establish minimums and the system will notify you when you go below the minimum level.

Can I print ad hoc reports?
Absolutely. In addition to the built-in reports that are designed to help you manage your print shop operations, the program allows you to set up filters to pull custom reports in seconds.

Can I customize my quotes?
In a flash. You simply fill in your shop information and insert your logo. Once that is done, every quote will have that professional and custom look you are looking for. You can print and fax the quote to your customer or send it via email.

Can I pull reports based on account codes?
Yes. That is one of the built-in reports in the program.

We outsource our graphic design. Can your print shop solutions calculate this into customer quotes and job tickets?
Yes. Our print shop solutions have a customizable table to compute outsourced time and labor. You simply enter the cost per hour for each outsourced activity, and when completing an order indicate if the job requires any outsourcing. The program will then add the outsourced fee into the job amount.

Is it easy to install and use?
Yes. It was designed for print shop managers, not programmers. We send you a pre-installation checklist prior to training and we pre-install your inventory list and customer list to make setup easy. One of our knowledgeable software technicians will come out to your facility to ensure a smooth and seamless transition to the world of automation. Installation and training takes only a few hours.

What are the hardware/system requirements for your print shop solutions?
The hardware and software required to use our print shop solutions is very basic. The following is required:

• Intel Pentium 3, 800 MHz processor or equivalent
• 10 GB hard drive or greater
• 256 MB of RAM
• Microsoft Windows 2000, WinXp or NT with SP3 and IIS 5.0
• Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 SP1

Can I use Print Shop Pro on a Mac?
Yes. Although Print Shop Pro resides on a PC server with Windows NT or 2000, you can run the program from a MAC workstation simply by purchasing software called virtualPC sold by Connextix. Their website is www.connectix.com.
