What is PrintBos?

PrintBos is a cost-saving software solution that transparently intercepts print jobs and applies graphic formatting to create and distribute attractive customised forms, reports, labels, faxes and cheques that incorporate a range of graphics and text functions.

The PrintBos package is fully compatible with any combination of host environments, such as UNIX, mainframe, AS/400, SYS/36, VAX, RS/6000, DOS and Windows NT.

A script language allows the user to define if/then actions for maximum job flexibility and to interface with other applications via APIs.
