A MORE DEDICATED SUPPORT GROUP. ----- ### "Decent POS Software for Print Shops" — 4.0/5 > **Shoshannah** | *12 November 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having used PS for about 13 years I can say it has improved greatly over the years. I find it very functional and intuitive. I can take deposits, track orders and see our profitability. It is easy to do job builds and save presets. Looking up older orders and pulling them forward is very easy as well. I can take a job build and easily transfer to a different account for similar jobs. We have connected our PSV to SalesForce for sending out invoices, statements and following up on estimates. This has simply added to the functionality. We also have ShipExpress which allows us to ship right from an invoice and pull all the pricing into PSV as well as tracking numbers. > > **Cons**: I am no a big fan of some updates made in version 7.0.0.6166. Most especially the number search bar at the top. This used to hold the number so if you typed in a number for an invoice but it was on the estimate selection you could just change the selection to invoice and hit search. Now if you click anywhere on the screen the number disappears and you have to retype it. Sounds like a small thing - and had it not worked beautifully before that maybe it wouldn't be so aggravating. Also when processing a credit card we would leave the invoice \# in that bar so once processed we could click search and go right to the invoice to both verify and print a receipt (PSV won't connect to my printer for some reason for receipts). This version also has slowed down load time. We have 30 years of customer info in this program, since this upgrade it lags when loading account searches. Very annoying. Also issues connecting to Ship Express and losing printer specifications. Sometimes my notes disappear while saving. very annoying and time consuming when this happens. Sometimes it also happens when converting from an estimate to a job - but only on clients that have notes saved to pop into all tickets. > > Over all I use this program 4-5 hours a day and it has made our shop more profitable and able to work with a smaller staff. I am the main user in our shop and while the learning curve from a very old 2006 desktop version to PSV was steep I mostly like the program and can quickly get done what I need. The old program I had to open multiple windows and drag \& drop for bringing forward older jobs (more than one) into new jobs. Now we can import old jobs from any account using the add job window. I do wish there was more flexibility on packing lists for when we have split jobs. as it is I save as a PDF and edit the PDF to show what is actually delivering. ----- ### "its ok but" — 3.0/5 > **Russell** | *9 December 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the program as a whole. everything is clear and easy to use and accurate. > > **Cons**: The cost is very high and it needs a website as part of it so everything is one place. i know you offer a web site add-on but its not cost effective for most small printers. I have a website that is not attached to the printsmith system that is very reasonable but it doesn't integrate into you product so i have to run separate books for it. I don't even have the web site customers on the printsmith software because its too tedious to double up work. > > Most of my experience has been very expensive. but the staff is usually very responsive to my needs and helps me get through whatever the problem may be. Although i do not think i have talked to anyone there for over a year. i don't even know the new email for service. ----- ### "PrintSmith is a Workhorse" — 4.0/5 > **Darryl** | *25 November 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using PrintSmith since the early 1990's and while it has had some bugs, the tram is responsive and it consistently gets the jpb done. > > **Cons**: 1. Updates require an entire manual reinstall instead for thr self-hosted server instead of the more familiar single click authorization, then the software handles the updates seemlessly. 2. Forms require a third party app and specialized skill. while enterprise sized business may have the resources to "program" and make changes to fors, small family owned companies do not. Everything has moved to simple Codeless programming with drag and drop capabilites and the forms should as well, without the third party software. > > It's been good. And it's a workhorse. Just needs to be more intuitive and software management could be simplified. ----- ### "PRINTSMITH CLIENT SINCE 1997" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *11 November 2024* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have used Printsmith since 1997. Although there have been many updates and changes to the program, I have always found it invaluable in running our business. The ease at which you can create an estimate (utilizing comparable past jobs and estimates from any client account), seamless conversion to Job Ticket, Invoice and ultimately post to billing saves hours of work each week. Printsmith stores all of our Client Account History, allowing us to predict what our client base is likely to be ordering in any given month, and allowing us to them in advance to confirm upcoming orders. The built in accounting in Printsmith allows us to easily track profit and jobs won or lost, allowing us to print out comprehensive weekly and monthly close-outs that make the work for our Accounting Firm go off without a hitch. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints about the system in general. When the purchased Program PRINTSMITH converted to on-line PRINTSMITH VISION, it was a learning curve that we managed to overcome and move forward with the help of the PrintSmith online support staff. > > Overall I am pleased and grateful to have found Printsmith all those years ago. It has been an invaluable tool in bringing our Company from the age of hand written estimates, job tickets and invoices into the modern age of computers. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/211720/eps-printsmith-vision?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/211720/eps-printsmith-vision) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
