As some printers have requested, we have recently added the GASAA and PODI membership to the Toast Print supplier accreditation list.
So for all Toast Print suppliers, if you are a member of GASAA or PODI, please follow the steps below to add these accreditations to your account:
We are excited to announce the the upcoming release of a set of new features for Premium Printers.
As a result, Toast Print will be scheduled for maintenance on 4th April 2010, 14:00 AEST and will experience an outage for approximately 2 hours.
A quick sneak peak of the new features:
| Company logo in search listing Premium Printers can now upload a company logo via their My Account. When designers search for printers, printers who have uploaded a logo will have it displayed next to their company name in the listing. This gives the designer a better sense of who they are working with and distinction amongst other printers. |
| Showcase past works in slideshow Premium Printers can upload examples of their past works and showcase it to designers. This gives the designer a better sense of the range of works that each printer offers and an indication of quality and what they are capable of producing. |
| Industry accreditations and membership recognition Perhaps a designer is looking for a printer who is more environment friendly. Toast Print keeps track of a list of major industry accreditations, and now Premium Printers have the option to specify any accreditations that they are qualified for and these will be displayed in their profile. |
Recently we’ve had a lot of enquiries asking whether it was possible to sign up both as a designer and printer on Toast Print. The short answer is yes. A more elaborate version is yes you can, providing you use a different username and email for each account.
Say for example, you sign up to Toast Print as a printer using the following:
Username: joeblogs Email: joeblogs@gmail.com
When you sign up to Toast Print as a designer, you cannot use the same details as above. You can use something like:
Username: joeblogsdesign Email: joe.blogs@hotmail.com
Logging into Toast Print is simple – whether you are a designer or printer, you can login via the same link. We recommend that you bookmark this link for quick access:
On 4th March 2010, we found a glitch in our customer support system that blocked all incoming enquiry emails to Toast Print. Some of these enquiries dated back to 13th Feb, which meant some of you would have lodged enquiries via our website and would have been extremely frustrated at the lack of response from our end.
This is an absolutely unacceptable error on our end, and we sincerely apologize for this mistake to all those who have tried to interact with us during this period of time.
Customer service is a high priority at Toast Print and we promise to deliver prompt responses in the future.
Our dedicated team has worked hard through the night to get back in touch with those affected, so for everyone who has asked for help over the past weeks, please check your inboxes as you will most probably see a response there.
We know precisely why this issue occurred and have made some significant changes at our end to ensure this will not happen ever again. We will continue to keep all happenings at Toast Print (both good and bad) transparent to our users so that you can stay up to date with what’s going on here.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, and to all who have supported Toast Print so far.
We are excited to announce that Toast Print is already up and running 2 weeks ahead of schedule!
A few designers have already signed up and started pumping in jobs already. Feedback has been great so far with no-one reporting any bugs/issues with the application.
We are glad to see that our efforts have helped the community solve one of the most frustrating operations in the graphic design business. It’s always nice to see that people are getting the hang of the app and are using features as intended just through their first interaction. A pat on the back goes out to all team members of Toast Print, and a big thank you to all those who have supported us over the past months to make this happen!
After months of hard work, Toast Print is at the final steps prior to launching. Most functions are fully developed, tested and tested again. We are very confident in delivering a robust solution to the design and print industry.
Although our official launch date is 1st March, printer pre-launch registration has started today. It is part of the plan to accumulate substaintial numbers of printers on file before our launch to the design community. This way, designers can look through a variety of printers for their printing needs immediately.
Printers, registration is FREE.
To ensure that you don’t miss out on the influx of designers and jobs in March, please take this opportunity to become the early adopters of Toast Print.
As a design professional, there are many facets of our work that can help contribute to a better environment.
