Press release from the issuing company

Milwaukee, WI, October 2006 -- Tailored Solutions Label Traxx—the popular print business management software for flexographic narrow web label printers and converters—now connects seamlessly with MACtac, a leading supplier of pressure sensitive adhesive coated papers and films.
