Hey all: Thanks for the replies! To comment on Rich Apollos post, you pop up in the weirdest ways, This has to mainly do with "aesthetic" issues. Different terms, a pet project from up high, yay for bosses. I have been instructed to find a way to "protect" jobs after they are off the press...

Good stuff, now all you gotta do is get with Erik and make it happen. Good luck! :):)

Again, if we are continuing the discussion concerning Erik's idea about this experiment I believe this could be achieved. Problem is there needs to be someone in the college who can manage it. You need someone within the college to communicate with all the local printers and on top of that...

The Print CEO Blog - Printing Industry News - Rhode Island College Drops Graphic Communication Concentration RI college is dropping their Graphic Communications major. I think it has to do with the economy and to use the resources of the major in other areas. One of the teachers is Dr...

Hey all: Just wanted to give an update to my own 5S initiative. With our new press, a Komori X29; 5C with varnish/aqueous, we got rid of our old Heidelberg 5C and have a specific area setup for our ink section. I don't have pictures of that, but that's what is in the works so far. I wish I...

Another question might have to be, is all these specific type of tools proprietary to companies or is there a specific open ended tool that a lot of companies use?

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any specific tools out there that specifically deals with the ideas of multi-channel media campaigns? I have been looking for more information concerning this topic, but haven't found much of anything.

David, when you say "super efficient", I think of many ways that phrase can be defined. Do you mean a company that has very little waste within their workflow or do you mean a company that has constrained their parameters in order to make every job basically the same as the next? I know some...

Over the past few months I've seen an explosion of change within the print industry. Primarily dedicated to a few key areas: 1) Change from just printing to cross-media style of business a) i.e. - Printing company with its own mailhouse, or printing company with...

Still looking for an individual to fill this position.

Hey there. My company has a Polar-Mohr 115 ML and we have had some issues come up recently from it. I have tried to contact Polar-Mohr concerning our issues, but they have not gotten back to me yet. This cutter is mainly a backup, as we have two newer cutters that work just fine. If we need...

After re-reading LoweringTheBar's response I've had to redefine the stance I take in this argument. Call me crazy, but I think people have two different ideas of sales right now. One of which is the hands on approach. These sales people do cold calls, deliver proofs, do press checks and so...

micromanaging: Bad example, but its what I could come up with. Lets say you pay someone 20 dollars an hour. This person does X, and to set up the process he has to take 30 steps to get the job done. Each step takes about .5 to 1 second. Now lets say we figured out how to reduce his steps to...
