This model is cool! I have been in print all my career and understand it completely...but found that providing "solutions" to what my clients need NOT what I have to sell is a win / win! No longer am I "feeding the iron" I am feeding many irons th…

Oberlin Plant Shutdown Sets Tone for Print Industry

Sad news today from Oberlin, Ohio. The World Color Press plant, located in Oberlin, (not far from our home in Cleveland!), is closing. 119 printing employees will be out of a job as of May 21st.

How a Printer Becomes a 'Marketing Communications Provider'

An MCP is a printer who doesn't just offer a technical service so much as a comprehensive marketing package. This printer probably woke up and smelled the coffee right around the time web-to-print was coming into vogue, and realized that to survive, printers were going to have to do more than just print.

Is There Anything You Won’t Print?

Last week, I was blogging about the resilient and disruptive nature of print (in response to all the talk online about “The End of Print”), and some research I did reminded me of how often print has A) been the engine of political and revolutionary change, and B) been suppressed because the newspapers, pamphlets, and tracts that printers reproduce and distribute were considered too inflammatory.

Even in recent years, in countries like China… Continue
