Print Pelican Printing Tech Tips:
Browser Blues
If you are a Mac OS 9 user and you’ve been trying to build your job with our online printing templates using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may be suffering from the browser blues. Some of you have called us to report that functions such as “Preview & Save” and image upload do not work properly in Internet Explorer under Mac OS 9. Alas, it’s true.
Operating systems and web browsers go through constant change; unfortunately they sometimes get out of synch with each other, leaving us high and dry until the next update. Fortunately, most browsers do work well with the Print Pelican online printing templates. The table below gives you some tried and true alternatives:

In the coming weeks, we will continue to test browsers with our printing templates, and we’ll keep you updated on the results. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please send us an email at techtips@printpelican.com.
