Manager Digital Support

For the price of the solution I don't think it can be beat. Great product and service is a winning combination.

Prepress

One of the key benefits I liked is that it has so many pre-built layouts for a good 90 percent of your digital needs and it's very good at ganging up different jobs into the same medias.

General Manager

Has freed up our graphics team to do what they do best, and CSRs have more time to consult with customers versus just keying orders all day long. Support team has been amazing.

Owner 

Overall experience has been great. We procrastinated on our end and it was great having their team nudge us a long to get this software up and going.

President

Ease of use, order status tracking and auto batching and queue to our presses are the main pros that drew us to to the software. Also, customer service was very good in helping decision making.

If you are a small press shop that does a lot of digital and offset, this is one of the better options out there for you. The Customer Support and overall work flow of this software is just great.

Service Delivery Manager

Excellent company to work with. In addition, the sales and support staff are very quick to respond and very helpful and knowledgeable.

My team finds themselves saying, "it moves so fast. My team loves the ability to do their job from anywhere.

Assistant Executive Director

Presswise opened up a whole host of new ways of looking at our operation and gave us the ability to modify our processes to better fit our internal needs and our customer's needs.

IT Manager

Sometimes updates have severely affected our templates and other areas of the system. A longer beta cycle may be necessary.

Pricing tables are somewhat tedious to set up; handling multi-item orders in the quote is awkward, and there is no automated way to quote custom outsourced work.

Partner

Vital to our growth and we become more reliant on the software every day.

I'm very happy with the investment in PressWise.

president

We are both a Indigo shop and we have a large format department which we were able to integrate into the software. BIG Thankyou to the staff for helping us grow smoothly.

Owner

This program has allowed my company to grow rapidly while maintaining a good workflow. Creating accurate estimates and orders is easier to manage and maintain.

I push the envelope on all things I buy. I would say partial shipping is the feature that is the largest struggle.

Director of Operations

There are many bugs and some of them have not been fixed; there is no account function so we have to export the data to Quickbooks for accounting.

Manager Finance & Admin

The storefront is customizable and intuitive. The system, when used properly, has solid processes that delivers many, many efficiencies.

Head of Vendor Relations

We sell mostly to universities an this is a great advantage and helps so much. Maybe because it was also developed at University Melbourne.

Network Coordinator

It help reduce cost in printing, and helps ecological sustainability. It saves lots of paper, and its managment controller helps having control of the entire printing system.

Records and Registration Specialist

The only problem I have encountered using this software is it can be delayed. The paper cut box doesn’t always pop up.

Adjunct Instructor

Thanks to PaperCut, this has started to change. Its ability to show users the energy costs of their printing needs helps to instill more cognizant consumption.

Assistant Aquaculture Engineer

From the get-go, PaperCut impresses with its simplicity in installation and operation.

I can put in my department code quickly and retrieve the job with my ID card at any available printer. It has saved my college a great deal of money all over campus, especially at our Library.

Student Technology Assistant

The most helpful thing about PaperCut MF is it is easy to navigate the needed software and it's easy to use the machines that run this software.

Helpdesk & Systems Tech

It also is a great way to track people that are overusing printing rights like color.

We've realized no benefit from the product. We've only realized a tremendous loss on our investment and continue to do so.

Head of Computer Services

We've been using PaperCut for just over a year, replacing our previous system, PCounter. After the initial setup, we haven't experienced many issues but when we have, their support has been great.

However, clicking the icon on the desktop often fixes the problem immediately.

I like the ease of use most. The paper cut menu pops up immediately after selecting print.

HRIS Manager

Papercut has been helpful in rationalizing the use of paper, printing and resources withing the organization.

Support for multiple departments for users. Useful integration with multi-function devices.

We had some trouble getting it to work with recently adopted Macs. There are some features that are only available with a client on end user machines, but that's not a deal breaker.

Student Representative

Very easy to integrate with cloud storage of documents in One Drive. Balances on account update immediately.
