Save $350 or more on server-based imposition software through the end of October 2008 only

Quite Hot Imposing is server-based software that lets you incorporate automated, sophisticated page-imposition operations into your workflow. Right now, you can upgrade from Quite Imposing Plus to Quite Hot Imposing for only $2,750.00 USD! This is $350.00 USD below the $3,100.00 USD retail price. This price is good through the end of October 2008.

If you don't own Quite Imposing Plus, you might want to consider Quite Suite 3, a bundle that consists of Quite Imposing Plus and Quite Hot Imposing. Buy Quite Suite 3 between now and the end of October 2008 for only $3,500.00 USD, which is $499.00 USD less than the retail price of $3,999.00 USD.
To learn more about Quite Hot Imposing and Quite Imposing Plus, click here.

REMEMBER: You must purchase no later than October 31, 2008 to get this special pricing.



DirectSmile price increase Sept. 27th — buy now!


  Prices for some DirectSmile packages will go up on September 27, 2008. For example, the price for DirectSmile Creator Pro will increase from $4,795.00 USD to $6,295.00 USD. Buy before September 27th to avoid the price increase.

DirectSmile lets you create documents that show names written in the sand, or embossed on poker chips, or spelled out with berries or chocolate chips — endless possibilities! Click here to get more information about DirectSmile.



Understanding the USPS Intelligent Mail bar code


The Intelligent Mail bar code is a new U.S. Postal Service bar code that allows for sorting and tracking of letters and flats. It combines the data of the POSTNET and PLANET bar codes, as well as other data, into a single bar code for routing and tracking mail.

Here is an Intelligent Mail bar code:


Along with data related to the delivery address, the Intelligent Mail bar code contains data that identifies the mailer (the company sending the mail), and it also can (optionally) contain data that uniquely identifies the particular letter or flat.

Currently, the Postal Service allows mailers to use the Intelligent Mail bar code in lieu of the POSTNET bar code in order to receive postage discounts.

Beginning in May 2009, mailers that want postage discounts on letters and flats will be REQUIRED to use the Intelligent Mail bar code. If the mailer includes a unique mailpiece identifier in the Intelligent Mail bar code, it will be possible to use the Postal Service's computer system to track each particular piece of mail.

Citation Software offers several products that support the Intelligent Mail bar code: For more information, go to www.CitationSoftware.com/UspsIntelligentMail.pdf.



Keep your PrintShop Mail dongle locked up!


  PrintShop Mail dongles (hardware keys) were stolen from two of our customers recently. Be sure to keep your PrintShop Mail dongle locked up in a safe place when your office is closed. The dongle is tiny, but in many cases it's worth more than the computer it's attached to!




"Lowest-Price Promise" (we sell for less!)


Citation Software is committed to offering the best prices on software. If you get a price quote from us, and you get a lower quote from another company for the same product, let us know: we will beat the other quote!



Quite Imposing/Quite Imposing Plus for Acrobat 9


Quite Imposing and Quite Imposing Plus are Adobe Acrobat plug-ins that allow you to do imposition tasks and related tasks from within Adobe Acrobat.

New releases of both products are available; these new releases work with Adobe Acrobat 9.
If you own Quite Imposing Version 2.x or Quite Imposing Plus Version 2.x, the new release of your product is a free upgrade. To get the new software, click the "Downloads" link at the left side of this page. Your Serial Number and Private Code will work with the new software.

If you own Quite Imposing Version 1.x, you can upgrade to the new version of Quite Imposing for $145.00 USD.

If you own Quite Imposing Plus Version 1.x, you can upgrade to the new version of Quite Imposing Plus for $295.00 USD.

If you don't own either product but would like to try a free demo, just click the "Downloads" link at the left side of this page.



Formatting addresses in PrintShop Mail


PrintShop Mail provides several features that allow for precise formatting of addresses.

To start with, you can control both the horizontal alignment and the vertical alignment.

And, the "Leading" feature gives you control over spacing between lines.

Plus, the "Remove empty lines" feature is useful when some records in your name-and-address list have suite numbers or apartment numbers and others do not.

Also — you can go beyond the basics by writing a PrintShop Mail Expression. Here is an example:

 
IF(LEN([Middlename]) > 0, [Firstname] & " " & [Middlename] & " " & [Lastname], [Firstname] & " " & [Lastname])

This expression formats the first line of an address block. It instructs PrintShop Mail to include the middle name or initial (and the required spaces) if the record has a middle name or initial, and it tells PrintShop Mail to simply print the first name and last name separated by a space if the record doesn't have a middle name or initial.

Fun stuff!


Exercise can be fun! Those of us that sit in front of a computer all day can sure use more exercise. This regimen lets you build arm and shoulder muscles right in your office.
Begin by standing with a five-pound potato sack in each hand. Extend your arms straight out to your sides and hold them there as long as you can.

After a few weeks, move up to ten-pound potato sacks, and then fifty-pound potato sacks, and finally get to where you can lift a one-hundred-pound potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a minute.

Next, start putting a few potatoes in the sacks.
