    how's business

    Credit/ terms Credit/ terms There aren't "successful" business people here actually complaining about paying bills at 60 days out (or longer as I read)? Are you joking me? If you can't pay CASH for an item you need, what makes you think you can pay MORE for it at a later date? Any responsible...

    how's business

    Hansman, nicely put. It sounds like you are one of the few printers who bases their strategy on value plus, and not the cost plus systems that is killing so many others out there. I agree, cost is only a minute factor to any business (i.e- why save money on cost if you spend more just to use...

    how's business

    Change Change Why are printers adamant of change, especially when it's for the betterment of your company and it's clients? Everyone on here seems to post that business is so terribly bad, yet they continue plugging away offering the same products their competitors are, selling on price (which...

    AirLine Tickets Printing

    I am not sure of the exact process of how the paper is "carbonized" as I do not believe it is done through a coating process. I could be wrong on this, but the best thing I could suggest is to speak with Goodwin out of Texas (as referenced in my previous post). They should be able to...

    how's business

    It is obvious this customer, requesting the quote is sadly misinformed. His statement is a complete hypocrisy of itself. The best quality for the lowest price. Has anyone ever asked the Mercedes Benz dealership to match Hyundai's prices? If so, I bet you got laughed out of the showroom. You...

    how's business

    How's Business How's Business I had a recent discussion with some fairly successful yet small to medium print owners over the weekend, and an interesting comment/point was brought up. A couple printers we know whose business has been off lately made a remark about the economy getting better...

    Buy Paper?

    Accent Opaque Accent Opaque If you are asking me, Accent is not a line we carry or manufacture. Sorry. We specialize in Carbonless NCR paper, Boise products, and Inks (Van Son, Spinks, Handschy, Hurst, etc.) and Press supplies (chemicals, washes, etc.). You can see our full catalog at Guy's...

    Digitally produced NCR sets

    Duplex NCR Duplex NCR Billy, I can provide you with the only NCR paper that can be instantly duplexed with ZERO issues. Although I will say most Carbonless- Our brand, Imation, Appleton, and Excel are very nice paper stocks and should run without issue. However, over the last few years, most...

    Digitally produced NCR sets

    Digital Carbonless NCR Digital Carbonless NCR It is not uncommon for me to hear that many people have issues running NCR paper on digital equipment. It also can add insult to injury because most digital Carbonless is more expensive than standard offset grade (typically because of the...

    Vanson Ink

    Van Son is a great product- and probably one of the more widely used inks. I also hear fantastic things about Spinks Ink (Titan, etc.). It probably comes down to a matter of preference; I like Coke-Cola and my wife likes Pepsi for example. If interested, I get "mill pricing" (large volume...

    Paper rippling

    Quick Printer- I would also like to point out that the Boise HD:P line of products- 24#, 28#, 32#, 80# cover, and 100# cover are the only brands we use for our high speed copiers, fax machines, and printers. It is the smoothest, most lint free surface I have seen in the many years I have been...

    NCR Paper

    No worries baldbug. It did appear that they were confused, but since you commented there was not a lot of margin in it you weren't going to print it for them (and just have the customer buy the blank stock)- I thought I could offer a way for a larger return on your investment (if you printed...

    NCR Paper

    Carbonless Carbonless Baldbug, Please don't be fooled by what the manufacturer tells you about their own products for their own machines. Xerox does NOT manufacture paper, and taking any kind of paper advice from someone who doesn't make paper or specialize in Carbonless (or bonds, etc.) is...

    how's business

    Of course I have read Dr. Joe. He doesnt' get paid by printing companies to write his reports, and his economics and research commentaries aren't sponsored by printing companies. It's an objective view, while sometimes contrarian, and these people have a great idea of what they are talking...
