Pudding, now with Smart Printing

I got an email from Kathy King at UThinkIt Graphics, and she was incredibly disappointed in the way Pudding printed out her creative pieces. (Pieces = proofs/concepts/mocks) The printing in Pudding was so bad that under some circumstances the image wouldn't even appear on the page!

I never paid attention to printing before. I figured everyone would want to view everything through their browser. Now, even if I did take the stance that printing isn't the main focus of the application, there's no excuse for how wretchedly (that's actually a word?) terrible the printing in Pudding was, so I fixed it.

Let's say you've got the Greatest Client Ever, and you create them logo. This is what it looks like when you upload it and view it in Pudding. (Awesome logo design, huh? I did it myself. :) )




Originally when you printed it, all the navigation would show up , the form elements, etc...

Now, when you hit the print button in your browser, this is what you'll get.

I want to show you another view. Let's say you upload another version of your piece, it is approved by the Greatest Client Ever, and you decide to hide the comments. This is what you'll see in Pudding.


And this is what you'll see when when you print from your browser.

I call the improvement, Smart Printing, and it's now live in Pudding.
