Printable Technologies FusionPro Users Forum Passes 1400-Member Milestone

Press release from the issuing company

November 30, 2007 -- Today, Printable Technologies®, Inc., a leading provider of Integrated Marketing, Web to Print, and Personalized Direct Marketing Solutions, announced that membership in the FusionPro Users Forum has exceeded 1400 members. "In late 2005 it was clear to us that printing and marketing service companies were finding it difficult to adopt variable data printing solutions. Design source limitations confined designers to one document design tool; a tight link between design and production required a pre-selected production workflow; and document composition applications were expensive," said Coleman Kane, President/CEO, Printable Technologies. "We drastically cut the price of FusionPro Desktop and the market has made it clear that we made the right move; and participation in the User Forum reflects the interest of the user community." In just two years, the FusionPro Users Forum has become the "go to place" for users of the suite of FusionPro products. The dynamic community provides peer support for questions ranging from "How do I return a variable graphic based on a field value?" to "How do I reference a second database file and perform a relational cross-reference lookup?" "The FusionPro Users Forum is an invaluable tool to our customers. With basic product questions from new users through extremely advanced VDP workflow discussions, the forum addresses the needs of our entire user community," said Mark Hilger, Senior Product Manager, Printable Technologies. "Customers consistently tell us that this is one of the best support resources we offer for our VDP products, so we are happy to continue to both promote and support its use for all of our customers."
