One of the most popular misconceptions about print is that it is harmful to the environment. Grinding up trees and using chemical-based inks for printing is (we are told) unsustainable. Large retailers, banks, and telecom companies tell their customers that switching to e-billing will save trees. For the most part, we believe this and repeat
The question is print dead? is superficial nonsense. The real question should be: What is print, and why should we care? Print is everywhere, and is likely to continue for many, many years. Putting oil-based ink on ground-up trees may decline,* but it will be replaced by other printing methods like toner or inkjets lot
We’ve now made it really easy to integrate PrintUI into web storefronts that are based on the free Magento Community Edition (see https://www.magentocommerce.com/product/community-edition). Once installed, the store administrator is able to easily create a customizable product in the catalog by just specifying a template name and size, and select yes that the product is customizable.

We’ve had many small updates between our launch and now, but this is our first major new feature push since launch. PrintUI now has full support for multi-page InDesign documents. This has
We are constantly expanding into new areas and forming exciting new partnerships!

Flash has gotten a lot of bad press over the past couple of years. Without getting into ideological discussions, we wanted to explain why we chose Flash as the technology we use for our web app. Flash was “killed” prematurely. Steve Jobs would have everyone believe that Flash is dead. “HTML5 is better than Flash.”
There are lots of web-to-print and web-to-web solutions out there. Why do we think ours is the best? Here’s some insights into our philosophy that went into creating our solution. Why InDesign? We chose to use InDesign Server as our rending engine for a number of reasons. The two most important reasons being workflow and
We’ve been really busy. Since PrintUI first launched earlier this year we’ve been hard at work. These are the new features that we’ve added: Web App Features: Locked frames. Support for all supported InDesign file types (including PDF, AI, WMF, PNG, BMP, GIF, etc). Support for placed linked images in InDesign. Support for embedded InDesign
We decided that it’d be useful to start a PrintUI blog. What will we blog about? As we add new features, we’ll let you know about them and also give you details about how they work and how you might use them. We also would like to give you some visibility into our development roadmap
