printCafe vs. PrintTalk--Waging a PrintWar?

While printCafe was busy with its acquisitions, PrintTalk was also in its genesis, reveals Jess Walker of Noosh, a founding PrintTalk member. "It happened after printCafe had acquired a few of the companies, but before they began to give us any definition of what they intended to establish." Although PrintTalk would not be formed until June 2000, Impresse, Noosh and some other founding PrintTalk e-commerce companies had completed integrations with some MIS systems on their own. "Noosh demonstrated an integration with Logic Systems about six months before printCafe launched their company," Walker reports.
