NOTICE OF LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTION

Enclosed is a $2.00 per share partial liquidating distribution from Printware,
Inc.

This distribution is being provided to parties who were shareholders of record
as of April 16, 2002. It is being made under direction of the Company's Board
of Directors and is done pursuant to the Plan of Complete and Voluntary
Dissolution and Liquidation of Printware, Inc. approved by shareholders on April
16, 2002.

As an update on the liquidation, other than relatively minor non-cash assets,
Printware, Inc. continues to hold an investment in unregistered Select Comfort
Corporation securities, details of which have already been disclosed in both
Printware, Inc.'s and Select Comfort Corporation's public filings. Printware is
continuing its evaluation of the alternatives available relating to this
investment. The Company is not prepared to comment on (a) the investment's
value or (b) how or when the investment or net proceeds from selling the
investment will be distributed to Printware shareholders.

Also, in addition to the projected liquidation expenses and accrued liabilities,
which have been disclosed in the Company's public filings, there may be other
liabilities, the amounts of which are unknown, due to taxing authorities and due
to former creditors.

In accordance with Minnesota statutes, former creditors of Printware, Inc. have
been notified of the Company's pending liquidation and must submit their claims
to Printware, Inc. on or before July 23, 2002.
