![]() Orders are received through our online ordering system, Print Shop Pro. Our equipment is shut down for the day at around 4:10pm. Our hours are 8:00am through 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. Our goal is to support the schools and departments with the printing services they need, as efficiently as possible. The Print Shop provides printing and copying services to District schools and departments. The information on these pages is intended for School District personnel. We are a division of the Media & Instructional Technology Department (MITD).

We have had other plug in's to indesign demonstrated for us but have not made the decision which to purchase. The software never lived up to the sales pitch. I will use the product for limited projects but am looking for other programs since the support renewal fee is equal to repurchasing the software. We would break the jobs up into smaller qty's and co-mingle them in the mail trays later. If your trying to do variable text and images at the same time we found that to be extremely slow, we have done it but not at a profitable production rate. We still use Printshop mail for variable data text products with up to 5 or 6 fields varying within the body of text successfully. When we paid for phone support other than the delay in getting a return call I found them helpful. I agree the software is clunky on PC's and the manual is difficult to understand. When we were sold the package we were told it was MAC friendly, it is not. It was sold to us by Konica Minolta with our first C6500. We have been using Printshop Mail since 2006. ![]() Staff becomes very sad, as does management with wasted hours with software that does not meet it's obligation. Our industry has had enough of the software problems that don't work. Thanks to EPICOMM for getting the word out and assistance. I personally tried again yesterday.no luck. This is not what we had in mind as a professional print company. We finally after hours of trying, decided to print 4-up on the Canon800 (with trim marks) then cutting to size and addressing on our Buskro. Without trim marks it is quite difficult to determine the bleed, trim, and back up position. Later he emailed that he was able to do this on his system). PROBLEM TWO: On 4-up postcards, 6" x 8", PSM would not print the ("standard" only choice or Japanese) trim or register marks, (and yes tech support logged onto our computer trying many times without success, finally asked us to upload the file to him. This month we decided to split the job into 4-groups of 200, however, it still took over 30 minutes to process each group before printing. I have tried every selection.this does not work properly. I had been convinced that the PSM software was the win-all for VD and that it would process the images only once to the printer which would speed the printing. PROBLEM ONE: When trying to print an 8-page color newsletter, self cover, the PSM Tech support finally suggested sending one newsletter at a time to eliminate the ending error when printing 840 newsletters after processing for more than 2.5 hours, several times. I think this would be a much better choice than PSM. Adobe's suite might be the way to go, even PhotoShop's VD will work. I have been thinking about InDesign, (and had a call this morning from a mailing software company who stated that he had a huge number of clients that use InDesign for VD). Thanks for your response and update on Print Shop Mail.
