If you are consolidating printing or outsourcing your printing and the printing plant is having problems with your files, tell them about us. Better yet, put Automator in at your location and prep all your files before you send them on for printing.

Or, if you are the one responsible for the printing and you keep getting prob-lem files that have errors, or worse yet, can’t be used at all, take a look at what Automator can do for you.

These are hard times, let PuzzleFlow make them a little easier, and a little more profitable for you.
