7. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
     The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale.
At April 1, 2000 and December 31, 1999, securities available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with the net unrealized holding gain or loss included
in shareholders' equity.

8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     During the three months ended April 1, 2000, the Company issued 6,063 and
6,946 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan at $1.91 and $1.86 per share, respectively.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in
June 1998.  The Standard will require the Company to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are
not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.  If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in
fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item
is recognized in earnings.  The change in a derivative's fair value related
to the ineffective portion of a hedge, if any, will be immediately recognized
in earnings.  The Company expects to adopt this Standard as of the beginning
of its fiscal year 2001.  The effect of adopting the Standard is currently
being evaluated, but is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results in operations.

ITEM 2.                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
                   AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
                      APRIL 1, 2000 AND APRIL 3, 1999

    Total revenues for the 2000 quarter were $1.26 million, an increase of
37% from revenues of $920,000 for first quarter 1999.  The increase was due
primarily to an increase in Platesetter equipment sales and start up
SilverStream supply sales in the 2000 quarter compared to 1999.

    The Company's gross margin was $527,000 in the first quarter 2000 versus
$336,000 in the comparable quarter in 1999.  Gross margin as a percentage of
revenue increased from 37% in the first quarter 1999 to 42% in first quarter
2000. The increased percentage margin in 2000 was due primarily to increased
equipment sales that have a higher margin as well as more favorable
manufacturing variances caused by increased equipment production.

    Research and development expenses decreased to $154,000 in the first
quarter 2000 from $190,000 in the first quarter in 1999.  The decrease was
largely due to reduction in headcount and related costs caused by the
completion of the PlateStream development, and despite increased expenses for
the new Internet-related Web-to-Plate developments.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $356,000 in the
first quarter of 2000 from $437,000 in the first quarter of 1999.  Selling
expenses decreased by approximately $26,000 in the first quarter 2000 due to
tighter management of expenses during this period.  General and administrative
expenses were down approximately $55,000 in the 2000 quarter due primarily to
lower accrual of executive incentive compensation and decreases in professional
service costs.

    The Company anticipates an unusual expenditure occurring during the
upcoming quarter ending on July 1, 2000.  On March 31, 2000 a committee of
dissident shareholders (the "Dissidents") launched a proxy contest in
connection with the Annual Meeting originally scheduled for April 13, 2000
and expected to be convened June 7, 2000.  As a result of the Dissidents'
proxy contest, the Company has had to retain its own solicitation and advisory
firm and to engage in other professional services, significantly increasing
the cost of the Annual Meeting.

    Interest and other income in the 2000 quarter was $124,000 compared to
$194,000 in the 1999 quarter.  The decrease in interest income in 2000 is due
primarily to a decrease in cash and investments of over $4.2 million from the
1999 quarter compared to the 2000 quarter.  This is primarily due to the $3
million repurchase of stock from Deluxe Corporation that the Company undertook
in the third quarter of 1999, and the Company's lease financing.

    The Company's income tax expense primarily consists of federal and state
taxes due in the current year.  In 1999, the Company did not record income
taxes on a quarterly basis due to its deferred tax asset status and
significant valuation allowance.

    Net income for the first quarter of 2000 was $92,000, or $.03 per common
share, up from net loss of $97,000 or $(.02) per share in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Working capital was $10.5 million on April 1, 2000 compared to $10.5
million at December 31, 1999.  Cash, cash equivalents and investments
decreased by approximately $140,000 at April 1, 2000 compared to December 31,
1999.  The decrease was primarily due to an increase in sales-type leases
financed by the Company, partially offset by increased revenues and lower
operating expenses.

    As of April 1, 2000, other than increased expenses of the proxy contest
described above, the Company has no material commitments which would result
in a significant cash outflow other than purchases of inventory in the normal
course of business, and the financing of additional Platesetter leases.

              Amendment Number 1 to Change in Control Severance Agreement
                               Dated April 13, 2000

      This Amendment No. 1 to the Change in Control Severance Agreement by
and between Printware, Inc., a Minnesota corporation with its principal
offices at St. Paul, Minnesota ("Printware") and Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D.,
residing at 12900 St. David's Road, Minnetonka, Minnesota  55305 (the
"Executive"), dated as of April 25, 1996 (the "Agreement") is dated as of
April 13, 2000.

      The parties hereto agree as follows:

      1.  All capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
the Agreement.

      2.  Paragraph 3 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

      3.  Termination Following Change in Control.  If a Change in Control
occurs during the term of this Agreement, and if Executive's employment is
terminated during the 12 month period following the date of the Change in
Control (i) by Printware other than for Cause, Retirement, or Disability or
(ii) by Executive for Good Reason or (iii) by Executive for voluntary
resignation, then Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided below:

      (a)  Printware shall pay Executive, through the Date of Termination,
the Executive's base salary as in effect at the time the Notice of
Termination is given and any other form or type of compensation and benefit
otherwise payable for such period;

      (b)  Printware shall pay Executive a severance payment (the "Severance
Payment") equal to 24 months of 125% the Executive's monthly base salary of
of the Date of Termination (base salary shall include any amounts contributed
by the Executive to any cash or deferred arrangement that qualifies under
Section 401(k) of the Code or any cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the
Code sponsored by Printware).

      The Severance Payment shall be made in a single lump sum within 60 days
after the Date of Termination. The Severance Payment herein shall be in lieu
of any other cash severance benefits payable under any other policy, plan or
program of Printware.

      (c)  All nonvested options to purchase the capital stock of Printware
held by Executive on the Date of Termination shall immediately vest in full
and all restrictions on any restricted stock held by Executive shall
immediately lapse and Executive shall be entitled to exercise all rights and
to receive all benefits accruing to Executive under any and all Printware
stock purchase and stock option plans or programs, or any successor to any
such plans or programs, for a period of 90 days following the Date of
Termination, which shall be in addition to, and not reduced by, any other
amounts payable to Executive under this Section 3.

      (d)  Executive shall be entitled to receive all benefits payable to the
Executive under any of Printware's pension, life insurance, medical, health
and accident, disability, deferred compensation, or savings plans in which
Executive was participating immediately prior to the Change in Control, which
shall be in addition to, and not reduced by, any other amounts payable to
Executive under this Section 3.

      (e)  Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment provided for in this Section 3 by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in
this Section 3 be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the
result of employment by another employer or by any other amounts of
compensation or benefits payable by Printware after the Date of Termination,
or otherwise.

       3.  All other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and
effect in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed and delivered
this Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, all as of the day and year first above
written.
