    Ha! Ok, fair point. Implementation is like what 95% of the game? I wasn’t at all trying to be ageist, I think it has more to do with comfort, recognition, and dependency... Speaking of implementation - Google must have missed the mark with the app - I had no idea they had that. I just thought...

    Interactive Book Featured at PRINT 18

    It was Google glass I believe - and I agree that the technology hasn't gained traction (yet)... but I'm not convinced it won't. Google was a little "too forward" thinking. I don't want to wear it - ie, glasses that look stupid. But I carry my phone everywhere, and would definitely use it for the...

    Interactive Book Featured at PRINT 18

    Gordo is spot on - I asked several people at the show if there was ONE app that reads embedded interactive media - and eyes glazed over. Several people told me I need to invent it and become rich. (LOL - ok, not my expertise, but I'll get right on that) There should be. Better yet, it should...

    Variable images (High-end photos) - who is doing these?

    Thanks SimonJester753 - fortunately for me, I don't have to worry so much about the actual print production since I work in a marketing dept and hand over files to a printer. Regarding the photos - we have an in-house photo studio, so all of our photos are controlled, and color managed. I'm...

    Variable images (High-end photos) - who is doing these?

    I'm looking for some experienced folks working with variable images of high end photography... photos need to be of people, not just products. I need some advice of what types of alterations can be made to the photos prior to releasing to a printer to help get a better result on digital...

    How do you name files?

    We name our files like such: [job#]_[Shortened description of project/version]_[page #].[file extension] This is specific to a marketing department creating files to go to a printer. Hence, the lack of [client name].

    Customer address list cleanup

    We typically charged a "flat fee" for "List Services" for a customer supplied list. Usually in the ballpark of a few hundred dollars (exact amount redacted intentionally). This includes CASS, Dedupe, and "basic" cleanup.. NCOA is additional at a "cost per thousand", but we will add "Or Current...

    Polar Guillotine cuts without using foot pedal

    Sounds like a lazy cutter operator bypassed a sensor of some sort... ;)

    Making ink from air (no kidding)

    Wow.. Very cool. Very forward thinking. For any companies out there emitting pollution as a by-product of their manufacturing process, could capture on-site and create ink to sell? 2 birds 1 stone.. In theory capture 100% of their pollution, while also creating a new revenue stream.

    New owner

    I think it's important to ask - (and by no means is this a complete list of questions, but only what comes to mind initially) - If you're completely new to printing, WHY are you getting into it? - What are your main objectives/goals? Short term and long term. Where do you want the business to...

    Net Neutrality and the Printing Industry

    Broadband access (mobile, or cable) will always continue to have increasing rates as long as it is controlled by just a few large ISPs with little to no alternative. I would think the "goal" would be to invoke an environment where smaller ISPs could compete, and thusly create a more competitive...

    Net Neutrality and the Printing Industry

    Here's a few graphics and links that help those who don't understand it... For the record - I'm totally 100% against ISP's being allowed to charge differently based on content, as well as against ISPs being allowed to choose the speed of allowed traffic based on how much the company who owes...

    Freelance Pre-Press Opportunities

    ...but yet after more than a year aren't important enough, profitable enough or useful enough to even mention on their website http://www.sgsco.com where they talk about being a "collective of companies"?

    Freelance Pre-Press Opportunities

    Disastrous all the same. Drives the market down, within time they won't have any subs, clients end up with shoddy work because it's subbed out to the lowest bidder, within time they won't have any customers... disastrous business model.
