All-in-one Print MIS, Web-2-Print and Marketing solution changes the way printers do business. ORLANDO, FL, Sept. 25 – There was a time when taking print orders over the web meant re-entering that information into the Print MIS (management information system) and added time and errors to a printer’s day. Today, Marketing Ideas for Printers (MI4P) announced the alpha release of “Odyssey,” the codename for its new Print MIS designed to end printers’ double-entry dilemma. MI4P is previewing Odyssey at Graph Expo Sept. 25-28 in Orlando. “With Odyssey, we’re staying true to our mission to help printers sell more printing,” says Dave Hultin, President, MI4P. “Eliminating the double-entry headache that has plagued printers is important, but Odyssey will provide value all along the print buying cycle – before, during, and after the print order.” That’s because Odyssey is designed from the ground up to be more than “just” a print MIS. “With Odyssey, the website IS the print MIS,” Hultin says. “Entries made on the web form are automatically updated on the MIS side.

Scheduled Maintenance We’ve received word from our technology partner that the DesignEdit system will be undergoing some significant updates to the database. They have managed to perform nearly all of the updates while still keeping the system active, but there are some processes that much be installed while the system is inaccessible. Therefore, the DesignEdit tool will be unavailable on Febrary 1st, beginning at 8 AM GMT (that’s 3 AM Eastern, 2 AM Central, 1 AM Mountain, Midnight Pacific). The technicians anticipate the updates will take around 6 hours. Thank You For Your Patience We know it can be an inconvenience to have software unavailable for any length of time, and would like to thank you in advance for your patience. Fortunately, these kinds of updates are a once-every-5-years kind of thing.


Tech Support For Level 1 Sites To Continue Indefinitely Sometimes just a few words gets taken out of context and the rumors begin to fly. It has come to our attention that some of you have the impression that we’ll stop supporting Level 1 sites in 2014. We are happy to tell you that that’s not correct! We will continue to support the Level 1 websites, and have no plans in sight for discontinuing support anytime soon, and certainly not in 2014. This means that if you have a question about using your Level 1 site, or have a technical problem that crops up, we’ll help you resolve it just as we always have. New Development Of Level 1 Sites Ended January 2013 What may be causing the confusion is that new development on the Level 1 sites ended with the release of the Level 2 and Level 3 sites. All of our programming resources are now directed at the new websites, and have been all year long. This means that no new features will be developed for the Level 1 sites, but the sites will continue to run in their current state into the foreseeable future. We Won’t Push,
