ThinPrint Announces Lower Prices!

Increase Your ThinPrint Sales with Lower Prices and Win a Wii or iPod Touch!

1.) 25% lower prices for .print User-Based licensing

ThinPrint .print with named user-based licensing is a great and affordable way to provide a world class print solution to:
a) Your customers with small environments
b) Environments of almost any size especially those that use print servers

New pricing advantages:

ThinPrint .print is now much more affordable especially for 64-bit environments as well as for customers with high resource demands and a lower users/server ratio.
The print server is now more affordable: Print servers are a great asset to almost any environment! If you are not sure how to sell the print server concept to your customer, contact us!
Now ThinPrint .print pricing is more competitive. You can now offer your customers the BEST print management solution with the best pricing. It’s the best deal for their dollar.
Simplified offerings: Licensing is the same regardless of environment

Important to Note:

b) Each print server needs 1 .print Print Server Basic Pack which includes 10 users
c) Named user-based licenses are added as needed
d) The application servers (e.g. XenApp or MSTS) printing to the print server can be load balanced
Without a print server:
a) Application servers should not be load balanced. In this case, server- based licensing is more favorable
b) Each application server needs a .print Application Server Basic Pack
c) Named users are added as needed

Reseller Competition:
The first VAR to exceed 500 named user licenses sold in Q2 2008 will win a Nintendo Wii!
