FELIX01 I need to say right up front that I don't use this app but when I see a company just today touting POSTNET barcoding as a "new" feature, I can confidently tell you that you're dealing with a developer who places no priority whatsoever on keeping the software updated. I mean, get real, mail barcoding and pre-sorting by Zip Code has been required for years and years to receive the USPS reduced-mailing rates; yet, this app is marketed, in part, as a "Small Office" application. And if it takes this long to implement barcoding, what do you think will happen when an OS update "breaks" this software? Will you be dead in the water for an extended period? Or forced to delay the OS upgrade to accommodate Chronos while they take their own sweet time providing a fix? I'd say run, don't walk, away from this software. There are plenty of alternatives by developers who are on the ball. BTW, now that Chronos has finally implemented the ancient POSTNET barcoding, I should also mention that starting in 2009 the USPS standard is Intelligent Mail® Barcoding. It's required for small offices receiving the maximum USPS discounts on their mailings. Wonder how long it'll be before SOHO Labels gets around to incorporating that requirement? The Intelligent Mail® specs were published in 2006...2½ years ago! http://ribbs.usps.gov/OneCodeSolution/

A. B. CARRACHO Unless I fail to understand your premise, I believe you have misinterpreted the December 10, 2008 announcement from Soho Labels 4.0.
Could it be that you inadvertently combined the software's new ability to print a varied range of Facing Identification Marks mentioned under the "What's New" heading with the phrase "Supports 15 barcode formats" in the opening paragraph, resutingin belief that the software was only just now capable of supporting U.S. Postal POSTNET printing?
In any event, visitors to this page should be aware that from the very beginning, which was Version 1 of Labels & Envelopes, Chronos's SOHO products have been capable of printing POSTNET barcodes. (Not to mention PLANET, U.K. Royal Mail, Japan Post, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN13, EAN8, Industrial 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, Modified Plessey, Code 39, Code 39 Extended, Code 128, and Codabar barcodes.)
No, i don't work for them.

Before you wrote your comment two weeks later, the developer removed POSTNET barcoding as a "new" feature in the MacUpdate "What's New" (in the version) area. That's why my post didn't make sense to you. :-)

Just because I replied to your comment without taking the time to first ask you about the underlying detail, I get modded down a point. How dare you make a fool of me by pointing out the truth! Only my wife and kids are supposed to do that. Also, now that I read it again, I perceive a hint of snarkiness -- and a lot of know-it-all -- in my words. I apologize for that. You could have been righteously indignant in your reply, yet you weren't. I thank you for that as well.

HARRISTYPE What's the difference between this and SOHO Print Essentials version 3?

WHICH BUTTON IS THE ANY KEY? Oh well, they're still there, it happens I looked for them under 'Media Labels' since I was delighted with the new CD-DVD labels support and went straight to Media Labels looking for DYMO's… in a nutshell, they're still there but not what I wish… I guess I still have to rely on far from stellar DYMO software…

TOM46 The new version (2.0) is even better than the earlier one. What's more, the transition from 1.x to 2.0 is completely transparent to the user. Well worth the upgrade price.

ANONYMOUS This is a great program. I was previously using Synex MacEnvelope (which apparently is not going to upgrade to OS X) and DYMO's DLS (which is a piece of junk). SOHO is easy to use and far outdoes both of the aforementioned programs. Apparently there's no tech support during the 30-day free trial (at least for the past 48 hours); hopefully that improves once you purchase.

STUNNING I agree that "company" sorting is needed for the professional user, but I am sure that knowing Chronos that they'll get to it shortly. This app is nothing short of stunning in its execution, GUI, depth, and professionalism. Truly what Mac apps need to aspire to being. I had another labels app that I loved, but now I smitten with this one.

ANONYMOUS Great app overall - fills a much needed gap for envelope printing from Apple's Address Book, however, be aware that the current version (1.2) only sorts for First Name or Last Name. There is no way to sort on Company. Those doing labels for bulk mailings cannot sort on the postal code to take advantage of USPS requirements for bulk mail rates.

DOUGLAS Great Application, does everything it says and pretty easily too. It has crashed on me a couple of times however.
