About PrintFASTQ

PrintFASTQ by Pentaforce Software Solutions is an exceptional, deeply engineered Print MIS and estimation platform built specifically to tackle the high-stakes complexities of commercial printing and packaging.

PrintFASTQ by Pentaforce Software Solutions is an exceptional, deeply engineered Print MIS and estimation platform built specifically to tackle the high-stakes complexities of commercial printing and packaging. By allowing estimators to calculate five print quantities simultaneously and automate technical parameters like grain orientation or punch die reuse, it eliminates human mathematical error entirely. While the upfront licensing investment and highly industrial data interface represent a steep learning curve for entry-level operations, its unique ability to manage external client paper and push instant quotes securely over a VPN makes it an indispensable asset for high-volume offset, digital, and packaging print manufacturers who want to protect their bottom-line margins.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Built-in VPN capabilities mean sales reps can reliably quote custom jobs while sitting right across from clients.
  • Handles complex packaging challenges like paper grain direction and layout nesting right out of the box
  • Saves thousands in structural tooling costs by automatically locating identical matching dies from past jobs.
Cons
  • Operates as a full desktop or remote system, lacking dedicated, lightweight app store installations for phones.
  • The specialized entry-level pricing model can feel like a heavy hurdle for very small boutique print shops.
  • Expanding the software requires direct developer upgrades rather than a quick one-click app store download.
