About PrintStar
A print management and estimating software for commercial printers. It centralizes job management, including estimating, scheduling, inventory tracking, purchase orders, and invoicing in a single application.
PrintStar is a specialized print management and estimating solution designed for small to mid-market commercial printers. It serves as an end-to-end platform that consolidates critical business operations—including estimating, job scheduling, inventory management, and invoicing—into a single, cross-platform application. By providing tools for real-time shop floor data collection, barcode tracking, and detailed job costing, it helps printers improve operational efficiency and profitability. The software includes a web module that allows customers to track their own job status, review proofs, and manage finished goods inventory. While it offers robust features for commercial print workflows, including wide-format support and QuickBooks integration, it is a specialized tool that requires a server license and per-computer access licensing. Buyers should note that while the site provides comprehensive feature lists and support contact information, it does not publish specific pricing tiers, requiring direct contact for licensing details.
