Printavo is a strong fit for many decoration shops with a large installed base and mature production workflows. OBPrint is a different fit if you want live S&S, SanMar, and PromoStandards costs in the quote flow, timed press runs tied to job costing, and flat Full Run pricing with 10 seats included. Compare your seat count and whether press time on the floor matters before you switch.
Short Run is free. The Full Run is free for 14 days, no card.

OBPrint and Printavo, in detail.
01
Quoting and supplier catalogs
OBPrint pulls blanks from connected S&S, SanMar, and PromoStandards catalogs in the quote builder. Decoration matrices and overhead show margin before send. Printavo offers catalog and supplier tools; depth and setup vary. Verify their current integrations if live garment cost in-quote is your main filter.
02
Floor and production
OBPrint tracks timed press runs, piece counts, and floor mobile on The Full Run. Production board, list, calendar, and machine queues match how decoration floors run. Printavo has production scheduling and shop floor views; press-run depth differs. Compare how each handles run time vs job status if costing after the fact matters.
03
Money, seats, and plans
OBPrint Full Run is $120/mo or $1,000/yr with 10 users included and Short Run free with limits. Printavo typically prices per user on paid plans; run your headcount against both models. OBPrint trial is 14 days, no card. Verify Printavo trial terms on their pricing page.
04
Migration and coexistence
Many shops run new quotes in OBPrint while finishing open Printavo jobs. Export what you can from Printavo; we walk through parallel operation on a demo. Full history migration depends on what Printavo exports and what your team needs day one.
Make the call.
Choose OBPrint if
You quote decorated apparel from supplier catalogs daily, track press time and ink on real jobs, want costing tied to the floor, and prefer one monthly rate for up to 10 users.
Stay with Printavo if
You are already deep in Printavo, your team runs production there without friction, and switching cost outweighs the gaps you feel on supplier quoting or press-run costing today.
Best test: run one real quote and one real production job through both before you decide.
Can we switch from Printavo without losing production history?
You can run quotes and new jobs in OBPrint while you finish open work in Printavo. Full migration depends on what you export and how your team works. We walk through it on a demo call.
Is OBPrint only for screen print and embroidery?
No. Apparel is the core, but signs, wraps, promo, and install work are supported on The Full Run. If your shop mixes decoration with wide format or field installs, compare production board and install views.
How does OBPrint pricing compare to Printavo?
The Full Run is $120 per month or $1,000 per year with up to 10 users. Extra users are $10/month. Printavo typically prices per user. Multiply your seat count on both models before you decide.
Does Printavo have online stores?
Printavo offers online store and reorder flows; verify current features on their site. OBPrint merch stores publish on The Full Run with guest checkout into production.
How is press tracking different?
OBPrint uses timed press runs with piece counts from floor mobile on The Full Run. Verify how Printavo handles run time vs job status if post-job costing is your priority.
Can we try OBPrint without canceling Printavo?
Yes. Start Short Run free or a 14-day Full Run trial. Run the next quote or job in OBPrint while open Printavo work finishes.
Compare it on your own job.
