For Your Information

Well, we just got the February issue of Quick Printing out to the printer. It should be in your mailbox the first week in February and up on our website around the same time. Everybody knows that trade magazines in our industry don’t have as many pages as they used to, however we managed to get a lot of good content in the space we had available. Karen interviews vendors on CTP advantages and trends, Nancy DeDiemar outlines the challenges ahead for printers, mailers, and the USPS, and John Giles discusses Quark Marketing Services and QR codes. Meanwhile, Dave Fellman talks about grabbing customers when a competitor goes out of business, and Tom Crouser points out the perils of letting an employee disrespect an owner’s spouse who works in the business. Finally, John Stewart leads off talking about printing scams and then shares the wisdom of a printer who has successfully transitioned out of his business into a comfortable retirement. That’s just in the printed edition. Additional content that will be available exclusively at www.quickprinting.com includes a roundup of CTP products available to the quick and small commercial printer and a discussion about what makes a digital press different from a digital copier/printer. Also, while the printed edition only comes out once a month, you can find daily news updates on our website and get weekly industry information in this e-newsletter. At Quick Printing we are well aware that technology is changing our industry and we are committed to using technology to keep our readers up to date on these changes and on the best business practices necessary for success. There may be fewer pages today, but that doesn’t mean less information.
