CHICAGO, IL, – Sept. 13, 2005 – PowerQuote Software, Inc. and PagePath Technologies Inc., chose the Print ’05 Show to announce a major breakthrough for digital print shops. PagePath’s MyOrderDesk, an Internet orderflow system for print shops, will now integrate with PowerQuote’s new version 11. This important estimating and management capability was designed especially for Indigo, Nexpress, Docucolor, and similar digital print production equipment. It will enable the print provider to easily reuse the online MyOrderDesk job ticket as a digital (or offset) job without the expense and potential errors associated with manual data entry!

Unlike other systems, this is not merely a new coat of paint slapped on an old system intended for offset jobs. Instead, it was built from the ground up using all new input screens and calculations designed specially for digital print production equipment and it builds on solutions the two companies have previously developed together.

Bruce Moore, President of PowerQuote said, “In addition to the time savings the shop will get by reusing MyOrderDesk job ticket information, we add the incredible flexibility to choose from 3 different estimating methods for each machine. The shop can choose from Budgeted Hourly rate, Cost Per Click, or Price Grid! PagePath is known for its best of breed technology. With PowerQuote 11, it will be nicely matched on the digital estimating side and our customers will enjoy the significant cost savings that come from using it.”

“I was blown away by the attention to detail and the way PowerQuote 11 addresses the unique needs of a digital shop,” commented Greg Witek of PagePath. “Bruce and his team at PowerQuote addressed a long standing need. Until now, many digital shops have been forced to make do with a system designed for offset shops. Instead of trying to force an offset system to do digital, PowerQuote started with a clean slate. Digital shops will be thrilled.”

PagePath’s MyOrderDesk©, named “Product of the Year” and “Best of Breed”, enables printers to automate printing orders and services over the Internet. The system can be “plugged into” a shop’s existing Web site or a complete Web site can be hosted by PagePath. For information about MyOrderDesk, see http://www.PagePath.com, phone 630-689-4111, or email Info@PagePath.com.

The PowerQuote Printing Estimating and Management software is the first print estimating system “Built for Mac OS X” and also works on Mac OS 8.6 and later. It handles offset, copy, digital and brokered jobs. The user friendly system has written quotes, job tickets, invoicing, easy recall of jobs for reorders, and more. A free demo movie is available at http://www.macestimating.com. For more information, phone 800-686-0067, or e-mail powerquote@macestimating.com.

The Printer’s Plus software is a business management solution used by print shops to estimate, process, schedule, and invoice orders. The MyOrderDesk system from PagePath is used by print shops to receive and process orders via an Internet storefront.

“We rely on continuous input from experts within the industry – our customers. They are telling us they need a simple way to re-use orders from the Web without hand entering the data. Working with PagePath, we believe we can provide a solution,” remarked Julianne Finley, president of Printer’s Plus.

Since 1983, Printer’s Plus has been at the forefront of business management software for printers. The system encompasses estimating, sales processing, scheduling, analysis, and general ledger activities.
With a continuing focus on providing the most advanced products available for the printing industry, the firm has delivered a system that is unrivaled for performance, features, ease of use, and set-up.

“Print shops need their systems to work together. That’s why PagePath started the Workflow Alliance, a group of printing industry vendors, in early 1997 to provide advanced workflow solutions to print shops. Early members included Xerox, Scitex, InfoNet and Indigo. We continue to move forward with this and believe there is an opportunity for the MyOrderDesk and Printer’s Plus systems to work together,” commented Greg Witek, president of PagePath.

Plano, IL, April 2, 2005: The new QwikCharge(™) System, when added to a print shop’s Web site, enables customer’s credit cards to be processed into the shop’s merchant account. The result is faster payment to the shop and time savings for both the shop and their customer.

The system allows the shop to take advantage of discounts provided for address verification of the buyer, card security code, etc.

Whether used to provide an online selling advantage, save labor, or provide enhanced customer service, QwikCharge will be a great addition to a shop’s online system.

The QwikCharge system can be restricted to specific clients of the shop, or open to the Web public. The simple and easy to use controls allow the shop to quickly charge the full amount of the sale; a portion representing a deposit; or even credit the buyer. This enhanced efficiency frees the shop staff to work on other activities.

QwikCharge joins the existing MyOrderDesk online orderflow tools including the QwikPrice pricing system, the PDF2U proofing and print ready document delivery system, the DocMart inventory management system, the ezMerge variable data system for business cards, etc., the SimpleSend and LAUNCH! file transfer systems, and the Ready2Run approval system for purchasing agents.

MyOrderDesk orderflow tools are private-labeled solutions that are added to a shop’s existing Web site or used in a PagePath supplied web site. With MyOrderDesk, a graphic arts service provider can avoid the significant investment in time and money required to create and maintain a sophisticated e-commerce website.

The firm pioneered the use of the Internet to place orders and transmit documents with an easy to use “point & click” system in 1996.

MyOrderDesk enables print solution providers to streamline production processes, saving time and increasing profits. Their customers benefit by getting VIP treatment, receiving a customized “PDF2U” desktop print driver that provides one-click access to create, proof and send ready-to-print, high resolution documents via the Web for printing.

“PDF2U really knocks out the steps,” says Brian O’Day, owner of Kwik Kopy Printing in Tigard, Oregon. “It allows customers to easily create a PDF, which decreases our turnaround time because we don’t have to open and preflight the file.”

PagePath was the recipient of the 2003 Product of the Year award from the PrintImage International association, formerly the National Association of Quick Printers (NAQP) for its PDF2U Web-based orderflow system.

“Our strategic growth plan calls for our franchise centers to evolve into total solution providers,” said Brian Gay, president of print and copy brands, ICED. “Licensing MyOrderDesk is our first major investment in this plan for 2005.”

Aurora, IL, April 10, 2003: PagePath Technologies has, for a second time, received the Product of the Year award from the PrintImage International association, formerly the National Association of Quick Printers (NAQP). During the association’s Annual Conference, PagePath was presented the award for its PDF2U Web-based orderflow system. Established in 1999, the Product of the Year Award is given to the product or service that best improved the product offering, profitability or customer service and satisfaction of quick and small commercial printers.

“This award is a great honor and one not bestowed lightly. PrintImage members seek aggressive, forward-thinking suppliers to partner with to establish their company as a leading edge printer in their marketplace,” said Steve Johnson, PrintImage International President & CEO.

A Web Site enabled with PDF2U can make significant improvements to a shop’s profitability by eliminating many of the common file problems the shop must correct. In addition, PDF2U enables the shop to replace extensive customer training with an easy to use “File >Print” capability that automatically delivers print ready files to the shop and creates a proof for the customer to approve. Since many end users can’t make PDF files correctly even after extensive training, the automated PDF2U system provides extra convenience to the customer while saving the shop hours of valuable training and prepress time.

The QwikPrice system eliminates the cost and time spent on handling online pricing requests from the general public or specific clients. It can be added to an existing Web site or a private branded MyOrderDesk site supplied by PagePath.

“What a great idea, this online quoting! Just about the time I think your product couldn’t get any better, it does!”, remarked Jerry Oliver, Printing Services Memphis City.

PagePath Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1983 with its Silicon Prairie headquarters in Aurora, Illinois. The firm pioneered the use of the Internet to place orders and transmit documents with an easy to use “point & click” system in 1996. MyOrderDesk was named Product of the Year by PrintImage International & Best of Breed by Xerox.

Aurora, IL, February 04, 2002 – PagePath Technologies has expanded the control a shop has over the messaging component of the MyOrderDesk online workflow system. In response to customer requests for increased customizability, the automated e-mail messages MyOrderDesk sends to a shop’s customers during various phases of the online workflow process can now be easily edited in the message customization center.

The private labeled solution provides a sophisticated online workflow for print pros. The free upgrade is in addition to recent enhancements to the existing SimpleSend™ and LAUNCH!™ file transfer options, the PDF2U™ print ready file output and proofing system, as well as the ezMerge™ variable data input, proofing, approval and file output system.

“Delivering this new, free add-on so quickly after last month’s release of Version 9 of MyOrderDesk strongly demonstrates our tradition of customer responsiveness,” said Steve Ciesemier, vice-president, PagePath Technologies, Inc.

Up to now only the “Job Received” message and Signature (added to all the e-mails) were modifiable. Now, messages alerting the customer to changes in the Digital Asset Manager, the Job Status, the Job Ticket information, and the Job Approval status can all be edited. Finally, the Forgot Password, Proof, New User Greeting, and error alert messages are also open to customization.

With MyOrderDesk, printers, reprographers, signmakers, and copyshops, etc. can easily add an automated system for file transfer, order entry, re-order, proofing, and approval. After receiving a customer’s order, the shop’s MyOrderDesk system can automatically create a proof for the customer, notify the shop’s staff, request approval from the customer’s appropriate supervisor, or purchasing agent, and create a print ready output file.

A free Trial of MyOrderDesk can be obtained at PagePath’s Web site: http://www.PagePath.com. A demonstration site is located at http://www.PrintVia.com.

MyOrderDesk is widely recognized in small and mid-sized print shops. It was voted “Product of the Year” by the membership of PrintImage International, and was named a “Best of Breed” technology by Xerox. Headquartered in the Silicon Prairie city of Aurora, Illinois, PagePath was founded in 1983.

Aurora, IL, December 06, 2001 – Version 8 of PagePath Technologies’ MyOrderDesk online toolkit for print pros has been released. In addition to improvements to the existing PDF2U™ and ezMerge™ components, the free upgrade to this private labeled workflow solution includes a job approval system and enhanced reporting capabilities.

“Working with MyOrderDesk is easy,” according to Ray Sziber, president, Capitol Copy Service. “Even our least computer savvy customers can use it. During a recent training seminar, one of our non-profit organization customers interrupted with many “computer 101″ type questions. We really wondered whether he would be able to use the Web to send us jobs. Surprisingly, we received a job from him via our Web site the following Monday! He basically taught himself. Now he enjoys sending all their newsletters this way and it saves me time and pickup expense. I have another major customer about a half hour away who I am also working on. Using our Web site for order entry and file transfer will save us both a lot of time.”

With the new approval system, printers, reprographers, signmakers, and copyshops, etc. can easily turn on an automated system for gathering approvals on a job submitted by a customer’s employee. After receiving an order, the shop’s MyOrderDesk system automatically requests approval from the customer’s appropriate manager, supervisor, or purchasing agent. A multi-step approval process can be accommodated when more than one approval is needed. Those approving the order can review the job details as well as enter comments, PO numbers, etc. The print provider is kept informed throughout the process and can quickly review approval current status.

“For the shop owner, the addition of the job approval system is a great time saver on many different jobs, and is particularly well suited for orders of items such as business cards, letterheads, inventory items, etc.,” said Steve Ciesemier, vice-president, PagePath Technologies, Inc. “It perfectly complements the ezMerge variable data module, ” he added.

A free Trial of MyOrderDesk can be obtained at PagePath’s Web site: http://www.PagePath.com. A demonstration site is located at http://www.PrintVia.com.

“We’ve always taken the opportunity to leverage our highly trained people with appropriate technology to become the printer of preference for thousands of companies across the country. Value-added services such as those produced by MyOrderDesk help us to build lasting relationships. That’s how we maintain our position as the best business printing service,” said Matthew Fox, Director of Technology, Insty-Prints Inc. “We think of MyOrderDesk as a Swiss army knife for our industry. The built-in file compression alone is reason enough to use MyOrderDesk. Even users with a slow Internet connection can select multiple, large graphic files, click a button, and have them all quickly sent to us in one, compressed package with a job ticket. The delivery of ready to print files, the online creation of business cards, and proofing are icing on the cake. It would take me a half hour to go through all the capabilities we get with this one package.”

For other types of Internet-enabled printing, MyOrderDesk’s PDF2U™ technology will allow users to print directly to their local Insty-Prints location from any Mac or Windows application, as simply as printing the document to their desktop printer.

“When an Insty-Prints Web site visitor submits a printing job using PDF2U, the document is automatically converted by the MyOrderDesk system into an industry standard PDF file, eliminating many common file problems in the process. As a result, the customer can view, print, or download an accurate proof of the document. After the customer releases the file for production, the Insty-Prints store receives a print ready file. Included with the file are the contact, production, shipping and billing instructions. The job status and job history can be easily viewed on the Insty-Prints Web site and re-orders are as easy as clicking a button. It’s incredible technology that saves our customers time and increases our store productivity,” said Rob Warmka, Vice President of Franchise Services, Insty-Prints Inc.

With MyOrderDesk, Insty-Prints customers can use order forms tailored to their specific needs. They have the option of sending large graphics files in their native format; creating and proofing the document on the Web site; or “printing” the document directly to an Insty-Print location.

MyOrderDesk will be available to the more than 200 Insty-Prints stores nationwide. By adding MyOrderDesk technology to its national network, Insty-Prints will provide their customers with the most productive document creation, order entry and file transfer capability available.

“For over 18 years, PagePath has provided affordable solutions that make it easier for printers to do business with their customers. MyOrderDesk was voted “Product of the Year” by the membership of PrintImage International, and a “Best of Breed” technology by Xerox. We are obviously pleased that Insty-Prints chose us as a partner,” said Steve Ciesemier, vice-president, PagePath Technologies, Inc.

Chicago, IL, July 10, 2001 — Print shops looking for ways to reduce labor costs and production delays have a new tool at their disposal, ezMerge™. Added to a print shop’s Web site, ezMerge enables a visitor to have their order data merged with pre-produced artwork to create a proof and print-ready files. By clicking a button, the user’s information is seamlessly combined with artwork for newsletters, business cards, price sheets, letterheads, envelopes, and more. Ideal for contract printing, the ezMerge templates can be made unique to the end user and their requirements. The process provides an immediate proof to the end user and eliminates the traditional manual labor involved with print shop staff re-typing the customer-supplied data. Besides eliminating a source of costly reprints, ezMerge provides a faster turnaround time for both end user and print shop.

Visitors to a print shop’s online order entry page equipped with ezMerge can create and view a proof in just one click. A second click produces the print-ready file for the print shop. A built-in, customer activated approval process notifies print shop staff, confirms the transaction to the end-user, and time stamps the job ticket for future review and reorders. The print-ready output eliminates traditionally non-recoverable labor costs for fixing file problems, thereby increasing net billable hours.

Designed for use by print shops’ corporate accounts, the system is flexible enough to accommodate smaller customers as well. The end user can use ezMerge to produce the proof, accept it, and deliver a print-ready file to the print shop in the time it would normally take just to write out a faxed order.

The new ezMerge is available from PagePath Technologies, Inc. and is now a standard feature of MyOrderDesk, the affordable online toolkit for print pros. Widely recognized in small and mid-sized print shops, MyOrderDesk was voted “Product of the Year” by the membership of PrintImage International, and was named a “Best of Breed” technology by Xerox.

Aurora, IL, June 28, 2001 – PagePath Technologies, Inc. has completed its headquarters move to a new Silicon Prairie location. Having outgrown it’s former facility near O’Hare airport, the company is now located along the Illinois high tech corridor 38 miles west of Chicago in the city of Aurora, IL.

“We thought long and hard before making the move. But after 18 years in the previous location, the needs of our staff coupled with the continued growth of MyOrderDesk forced us to find a new, larger facility. A pleasant side benefit is the 15-20 minute commute time for our employees,” said Gregory Witek, president, PagePath Technologies, Inc.

PagePath is the developer of MyOrderDesk, a private labeled, Web-based solution that includes easy job and file transfer, automatic file compression, customer job tickets, soft-proofing of files online, job status, easy retrieval of jobs and files, and instant notification of job arrivals and proof approvals.

Aurora, IL, June 20, 2001 – PagePath Technologies, Inc. today announced five new, and enhanced, solutions for Web-Based job submission. The five solutions are known as Trial, Basic, Professional, Advanced, and Extended. Including the free Trial package all five have the same feature set, differing only in how many users are supported, storage capacity, etc. The Trial package is the “test drive” version and does not have a time limit. The top of the line Extended package is for those who have thousands of potential customers; who need hundreds of order forms customized for individual clients; or who need very large file storage space.

“PagePath has been helping printers work more productively with their customers for over 18 years. Although many VC backed services have made a big splash in the past year when they spectacularly entered and then exited our market, we continue to follow our original goal of providing affordable solutions that make it easier for printers to do business with their customers. These five new MyOrderDesk packages hit the mark,” said Steve Ciesemier, vice-president, PagePath Technologies, Inc.

Widely recognized in small and mid-sized print shops, MyOrderDesk was voted “Product of the Year” by the membership of PrintImage International, and is nominated a “Best of Breed” technology by Xerox. The Windows- and Macintosh-based solution provides private labeled submission services that include easy job and file transfer, automatic file compression, customer job tickets, soft-proofing of files online, job status, easy retrieval of jobs and files, instant notification of job arrivals and proof approvals and a product catalog.

MyOrderDesk can be used as a complete, standalone Web site or added to a print shop’s exiting site. Installation takes about 10 minutes and does not require technical expertise or an onsite server – only a Web browser and e-mail account.

MyOrderDesk has unique pricing. There are no contracts to sign, no yearly or monthly fees, no fees per job, no fees per customer, and no percentage of revenue schemes. There is a one-time signup fee of $300-$600. Thereafter, for any day it when the system is used for a transaction, the print shop is charged a $1-$9 fee for the day, not for the transaction. If it is not used, there is no charge.

Aurora, IL. (Nov. 2, 2000) – Brown & Joseph, Ltd., the premier credit collection agency in the U.S. for printers, publishers, and graphic artists, and PagePath Technologies, the leading provider of online print commerce tools for the graphic arts industry, announced today that they have integrated their respective online systems.

As a result, the customers of PagePath’s MyOrderDesk™ system will have automated access to top of the line receivables management services at significantly reduced cost. Brown & Joseph joins PagePath, printLeader, and Discount Labels in the Odyssey Initiative, an alliance aimed at furthering integration of print-related workflow activities on the Internet. Besides the opportunity for the customers of Brown & Joseph and PagePath to enhance their Internet-to-operations workflow, the agreement includes joint marketing efforts by the two companies.

As part of the MyOrderDesk e-commerce system, PagePath has created and is hosting an automated Brown & Joseph credit collection submission system for printers with late paying customers. Brown & Joseph will in turn offer the MyOrderDesk customers a substantial savings in collection fees, as well as access to Brown & Joseph’s recovery services and customized reporting system.

Brown & Joseph, rated as the premier receivables management service, operates a sophisticated and highly effective system designed to maximize the amount recovered. The resulting increase to the bottom line is frequently noticed within 60-90 days. Using a systematic and methodical approach to the handling of receivables, Brown & Joseph provides a professional, tactful, and highly effective service. Brown & Joseph’s primary goal is customer good will, as well as receivables collection. An integral part of the service is its customized reporting system.

“Brown & Joseph is a great resource for PagePath’s customer’s, many of whom struggle with inadequate receivable management.

PagePath’s growing client base will find ClickPrint to be a natural addition,” said Steve Ciesemier, Vice President of sales & Marketing at PagePath.

“You begin to lose money on an account whenever payment is not received within net terms. As the account gets older, the ability to collect decreases and your losses from an inability to use the money increases. If, for example, you are operating at a 4% profit margin, $1,000 that cannot be collected requires $25,000 in additional sales to simply break even. Our unique system has achieved collection of 90% of claims less than 3 months past due.” said Chris Cappuccilli, President of Brown & Joseph.

Aurora, IL.

In accepting the award, Gregory Witek commented, “We were very honored just to have been nominated along with companies like Xerox, Canon, Discount Labels, and Microsoft. For the PII association to have thought enough of MyOrderDesk to rank it among a stellar group such as this is very gratifying. To actually win the award is beyond words. I must say that MyOrderDesk was really designed by our customers, many of which are among the PII membership, by providing us with constant feedback and suggestions. We simply turned those suggestions into a reality. We have belonged to this association since our early days and have always found it worthwhile.”

Aurora, IL, June 23, 2000: PagePath has upgraded it’s MyOrderDesk e-commerce toolset with the ability to automatically create, transfer and softproof PDF files from a users native Mac or Windows application. As a result, the graphic arts service provider on the receiving end avoids problems caused by missing fonts or images. They are also able to print the document or file from either a Mac or Windows system without the customer’s native application. Addressing a problem that plagues many small to mid-sized graphic arts service providers, MyOrderDesk eliminates time consuming and profit wasting production problems related to ‘unprintable’ files caused by incompatible software applications, missing fonts, etc.

Released as the MyOrderDesk Premier package, the new PDF and softproofing capability dramatically reduces or eliminates one of the most common and frustrating problems experienced by graphic arts service providers such as commercial printers, screenprinters, copyshops, ad specialties, quick printers, graphic designers, reprographers, etc. Over 2,100 graphic arts service providers are now registered to use MyOrderDesk on their web sites or as a standalone service. MyOrderDesk helps graphic arts service providers increase the productivity and profitability of their online business. MyOrderDesk also increases the efficiency of the procurement process by enhancing the graphic arts service provider’s web site with sophisticated workflow capabilities. Released in December of 1999, MyOrderDesk supports both Macintosh and Windows users.

The new MyOrderDesk Premier package joins the February release of the Performance package. Both packages use a unique pricing model that charges only for days used or a monthly cap, whichever is less. There are no minimum usage fees, transaction fees or contracts to sign. The basic MyOrderDesk package is free and consists of a secure web-based order entry, file transfer, confirmation, and job management system.

Although it can be used on a standalone basis, MyOrderDesk is designed to be private labeled and added to an existing website. With MyOrderDesk, a graphic arts service provider can avoid the significant investment in time and money required to add sophisticated e-commerce tools to their website. MyOrderDesk is a turn-key system that is quickly and easily added to the graphic arts service provider’s website without special skills.

MyOrderDesk uses an order entry and file attachment web page linked to the graphic arts service provider’s website. The order entry page is private labeled with the graphic arts service provider’s identity. MyOrderDesk includes the LAUNCH! Web file transfer engine enabling multiple files to be easily attached to the order. Orders or files entered through the personalized MyOrderDesk web pages are automatically acknowledged by e-mail to the person placing the order or files. An e-mail is also automatically sent to the printer alerting them to the new order/files. A weblink in the e-mail uses the graphic service provider’s browser to retrieve the bundled order and any job files.

Both the graphic arts service provider and their customers can review previous orders by clicking on a weblink. Access to the order data is protected by individual ID and passwords. A monthly job report also is automatically e-mailed by MyOrderDesk to the graphic arts service provider.
