:: True Warnings®

Our True Warnings fonts product contains the warning labels that are printed out and applied to Prescription pill vials.

Most customers request these in True Type format for use in a Windows environment. For Unix users we can offer the special ability to use True Type fonts with their operating system with our custom programs, or we can offer them as a "font library" collection. And for those who still prefer hardware based fonts, we can offer them on flash cards (DIMMS, daughter boards, etc.) to install directly in printers.

True Warnings^® - our True Warnings fonts product contains
the warning labels that are printed out and applied to Prescription pill vials.

The Printed Solutions Advantages:

1. Have you ever really looked at the Warning labels on a prescription medicine vial? Yes, I know that you look at them, but have you ever looked at the graphic and known immediately what it was trying to tell you? Probably half the time you did, and half the time you had to read the text part of the label, or maybe even the Patient Advisory Leaflet that came with it. This is because our competitors have simply copied the same graphics that their competitors have been using ever since warning labels were pre-printed (from 40 years ago). So 40 years ago, many people bought their milk in milk bottles, and the graphic to direct you not to take dairy products while using that medicine showed a milk bottle with an X through it. But how many people buy milk in bottles today? How about none! So why do they still show that graphic? It doesn't cause any recognition in consumers! Now, take a look at ours:

You may smile a little when you see this warning label, but it gets your attention, and you know what it means don't you? This is why we at Printed Solutions decided not to just use similar graphics to what others have been using, but for many of these to come up with totally unique graphics. We think that this gets better customer reactions and compliance, and hence perhaps it reduces a pharmacies liability.

Need Spanish? No problemo!

2. The First DataBank solution: One of the biggest headaches for pharmacies is keeping up with the new warnings that are needed for new drugs. While it is nearly impossible to do if you have printer based fonts (SIMM or DIMM), it is still very difficult even if you have computer based "soft" fonts. When do you need to upgrade? How often do new warnings come out? (It is never on a regular basis.) How do you perform the upgrade? If you subscribe to First DataBank's NDDF file for prioritized warning labels, we can make these questions irrelevant for you. Printed Solutions will provide you with the license for True Warnings^® fonts, but First DataBank will supply you with the actual file. Then, on the weekly, monthly, or quarterly updates of data that you regularly receive from FDB, you will also receive the new warning labels that have come out. This means that you receive all of your data at once, and send it to all of your servers for updating at once, just like you are now - no changes to your present methods! It couldn't be easier, or less expensive. Why get a separate piece of data from a separate supplier, when you can get it all at once without changing your present methods?

For those of you who use the MediSpan data files, we can also help you with a version of our True Warnings^® for MediSpans recommended warnings.

Do you need to use bar codes with these warnings? If you are printing these on a laser printer, then you probably do, and we will be happy to provide the necessary Bar codes (3 of 9, UPC, Code 128) for free. However, if you are using Thermal printers, you will not need these, as most thermal printers arrive from the factory with more Bar Codes than you could ever need.
