Print Suite released (at last)

At Rad Inks we have finally been able to release our long delayed web based printing software. The reasons for the delays are numorous but one of the major causes is that we have been too distracted with our other products and working on customizations.

Another major stumbling block that we ran into was the licensing issues of the mysql database. Initially we planned to make print suite compatible with mysql and microsoft sql databases (microsoft is not my choice). Then mysql decided to interpret the GPL in completely different way from everyone else. They caused a lot of uncertainty about whether or not our clients would need to pay license fees. We are not the only company to be faced with this uncertainty but our approach was to dump mysql all together and move towards postgresql.

Well we have finally managed to overcome all obstacle and as a result the print suite became available for download for the first time on 31st of August.
