The 2008 version continues its distinction as the only product in the industry to offer complete support for every printer and plotter manufacturer on the market.

“Version 2008 is the most significant upgrade to Print Manager Plus in the history of our company,” said Software Shelf CEO, William Feeley. “It marks a milestone in the development of all print management solutions that corral the accounting of and cost of printing, helping our customers to cut printing related costs by up to 75%.”

Without the need for outside services or complex new software, Print Manager Plus makes printing efficient, increases cost savings while lowering IT resource requirements. As a software-only solution, Print Manager Plus 2008 is available at a fraction of what you pay for similar IT products on the market.

With the new native Active Directory integration, the solution offers customers a completely integrated platform to control, audit and precisely manage their entire printing environment with unsurpassed speed, security and efficiency.

File-Rescue Plus by Software Shelf Granted a Consumers Digest Best Buy Award



Software which works on all Windows operating systems, external drives and digital cameras is considered, independently, to be one of the best on the market for recovering deleted files, photos and music

San Francisco, California and London, United Kingdom: Software Shelf, developer of File-Rescue Plus software, today announced that Consumers Digest, a leading publication in judging the best products and best-priced solutions on the market, has awarded its file recovery software, File-Rescue Plus, a 'Best Buy' recognition for excellence in quality and price. A photo of the award and a review of File-Rescue Plus appears in the April 2008 edition of Consumers Digest, now on newsstands as of March 2nd.

File-Rescue Plus software works on all Windows Operating Systems. It allows the user to undelete any kind of file, lost due to inadvertent deleting or virus attacks from their computer, external drive or camera.

Consumer Digest editors write, “A Consumers Digest Best Buy is defined as a product that offers the most value for a given amount of money. That doesn’t mean it is the least expensive product in its category, nor does it mean it is the best-known brand. A Consumers Digest Best Buy is a nationally available product identified as one that merits special attention from consumers, based on its combination of performance, ease-of-use, features, durability, warranty, efficiency, styling, and maintenance and servicing requirements.

“On average, a Consumers Digest Best Buy rating is awarded to fewer than three percent of the competing models in any given product category.”

File-Rescue Plus includes a 'shredder' for extreme security. This is the Clean Free Disk Space Option allowing one to securely wipe all free disk space or deleted files on the computer. The software also includes a Live Electronic Update Option to automatically download the latest updates and upgrades in seconds at the click of a button.

Customer comments include: "I purchased and downloaded your File-Rescue Plus program because I was pretty desperate to recover about 100 great photos I accidentally erased from my camera by mistakenly pushing the "erase" function. The program worked perfectly, restored almost all the pictures immediately on the first try, and I was delighted (and relieved).” —SW.
“I recovered almost 8000 files yesterday off of two drives which had (we think) been maliciously deleted. Nice tool you have there." —MAM.
“I, all of a sudden, had 72 jpg's disappear from a SanDisk SmartMedia card. With your software, I was able to recover them.” —JS
