    How to Treat Employees

    Sometimes the case to be sure. But if one has something to say it should be directed to those responsible, especially when that input has been requested. Whether suggestions are followed through with or not is not the point and ultimately not your problem. The point is to put your position out...

    How to Treat Employees

    I generally found that those who grumbled & whined the loudest among their fellow staff members typically were dead silent during staff meetings with owners/management. I'll spare you what I think of people like that.

    Plate Pricing

    Will you match this price for a 'matte' laminate order? Sorry, can't to that. We don't use matte laminate. We use 'dull' laminate.

    Competition? Or collusion?

    Proof disclaimers

    This doesn't address the proof approval notice but I thought I'd throw it in. Part of the reason I said screw it & retired, along with being fed up with chasing people for money, was people looking at proofs on a 5 inch telephone screen and then having the gall to tell me something is missing or...

    The Negotiation

    I've never known a customer to require an excuse in order to blame the printer. Customers tend to confuse printers with ad agencies. The difference of course being that printers accept their limitations, or simply have little desire to make up a bunch of fancy drivel to fill a printed piece. Ad...

    The Negotiation

    When customers came to me for a bulk mail piece - often a post card of sorts - they'd ask me what to put on it - how to word it. I'm like; WTF! It's your business, not mine, how the F am I supposed to know? I might have expressed that to them a bit differently. But I would nearly always advise...

    The Negotiation

    Not entirely true. When corporations have been awarded a monopoly, or perhaps just 2-3 companies control a market, they can charge what they please with little, or only pretend (to pacify the minions), oversight. As it stands now the system isn't working. The result is an unjust society - one...

    Photoshop with AI Generation

    It could be argued that politics has always been artificial & fake. And speaking of news; it's been the trend for a number of years that the photos supplied with news stories are not from the current story but from who knows where & when - as often as not from sources such as Getty Images. Many...

    The Negotiation

    I suppose I was aiming more at those corporations that fall under the 'monopoly' category. That's not a fit for commercial printers, who still must compete for market share. Besides, most commercial printers that I'm aware of don't even have CEO's. Owners & bosses maybe. CEO is a title reserved...

    The Negotiation

    What if we lived in a world where corporations didn't have hundreds of people doing jobs designed to produce 'sale' items and design ways to scam and deceive their customers into believing they were getting a deal instead of being played with and in a nutshell, screwed. What if corporations...

    As Cornish says. It's common practice to wear cheap (white) cotton gloves, UV coated or not.

    Raffle Ticket Books stapling

    Agreed, electric stapler would help. Use earplugs. I recall them causing a sharp bang each hit that could start to get damaging after a few hundred. A hand stapler used that often seems like a direct route to carpel tunnel.
