Top 04 Business Documents You Need To Have in the Printed Form

Wednesday, September 29th, 2021

None of us wants to stay deprived of anything in life. Even though we have a business generating massive revenue each month, we still want to enter other fields to make money. For example, maybe you are running a top-notch restaurant in Bluffton; still, you may want to launch a personal training company in nearby areas. So, the question is, how will you let your target audience know that you have started a personalized training firm and they should visit it to get personal services. That’s where flyers come in.

Custom Printing: More on My Client’s Fabric Printing Saga

Tuesday, September 28th, 2021

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

Aside from being a writer I am also a commercial printing broker. I’m a bit like a “tracker,” one who tracks animals in the wild, since I find the best custom printing supplier for a particular client’s job needs. I also make connections (like fascia tissue in the body). I make sure the communications between the printer and the client are accurate and understood by both parties. And I make sure my client is happy with the product, or I work with the printer (and client) to make things right. (more…)

Digital Custom Printing: The New World of Direct to Fabric Printing

Tuesday, September 21st, 2021

For the last seven years I’ve had a client who prints small color swatch books for fashion use. Think of them as miniature PMS swatch books but for garment and make-up choices based on one’s complexion. (She also makes “chin cards” that can be held up to one’s face to confirm these color choices without actually putting on make-up or clothing.) (more…)

On a daily basis I get a Google Aggregator list of articles about both digital printing and offset printing. I find these extremely useful on two counts. First, even if I just read the headlines, I can immediately see what’s trending in commercial printing. I know what to research. Second, I can click through and research in depth any subjects that interest me. (more…)

Custom Printing: The Current Wild West of Print Buying

Sunday, September 12th, 2021

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

I’ve just received five print book titles to price for two clients. Two of these books have French flaps (the 3.5” flaps that fold in on the front and back cover of a perfect-bound print book, making it look a bit like a case-bound book with a dust jacket). They are a poetry book and a book of fiction respectively, both 5.5” x 8.5” perfect-bound books. One is 272 pages plus cover; one is 72 pages plus cover. Each of these two has a corresponding “reader’s galley,” a book (without French flaps) for 75 selected readers to review and comment on prior to production of the final editions. (more…)

Custom Printing: Ghosts and Other Ink Density Problems

Tuesday, September 7th, 2021

What Are Ghosts?

Ghosts are scary things. Well, maybe not so scary in commercial printing, but they are extremely frustrating and time consuming to eradicate, and a pressman’s ability to remove ghosts demonstrates the knowledge base that makes him an artist and a craftsman. (more…)
