If you've come to this article, chances are you are looking to buy printing for some project either in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Canada or the Eastern United States. I can look up in the yellow pages and get hundred of printing company's names so what's your shpiel?
My shpiel, is simply to make you think about what it is you are really looking for. Printing although thought of as a commodity it is really very specific to each persons needs. If you wanted a bottle of coke, you could buy it at Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, your local grocery or convenience store or even get it at a vending machine. The coke from all these places is manufactured at the same place with the same ingrdients and packaged the same. Your choice now comes down to either location, convenience or price? Printing though is specific to your needs. Your letterhead, business card, invoice, envelope, label, all have your logo on it. Paper stock for each item is countless. The type of printing, litho, offset, web, digital, thermoengraved and genuine engraved all give a different look to your product.
What kind of image are you striving for? Lowest cost? Highest Impact? Direct segmented marketing? What do you need most? Cheapest price, best service, guaranteed delivery time, guaranteed product or distribution? Do you enjoy impersonal dealing through the internet which gives you access 24 hours a day or do you like the personal touch of dealing with a representative who knows your business, your products and your needs?
Now we get to Solutions Ink. Solutions Ink is one of many Document Management Specialist. Another term being used is print broker. In today's age company's can't be everything to everyone, or can they? The traditional printer had presses that did one type of operation ( printing business cards or enevelopes or forms or labels). If you gave them something outside their domain they outsourced it to another printer who had the appropriate presses. Print brokers, like every other document management specialist, takes the outsourcing to the max. They outsource all their printing. For each type of job they have 5 to 6 printers with those appropriate presses. With their larger sales volumes they are able to sell for less than most direct printers and still get the best quality and service. If your direct printer has 5 rush jobs to do but only 1 press, four of his customers will be disappointed. With print brokers bank of printers they are sure to be able to do your job and meet your deadlines. Many print brokers have invested in e-commerce ordering systems for both printing and promotional products. With in house programmers they can have a live site ready in days.
If your ready to take the correct next step, find a document management specialist that you are comfortable with. Finding the right person to work with require a little effort on your part. Find out what the company is about, can you deal with the personality of the company or representative, what they have to offer you to better your business. Think of it as the dating process. You are not committed to them unless you'd like to be. If it's not a perfect match, continue to look. Try to find a provider who can offer you all the things you need and make you happy. Buying should't be the stressful part of your business!

Rubber Stamps ? Advice To Help Choose The Right Product For You
Rubber Stamps ? Advice To Help Choose The Right Product For You
by: Nicky Whatmore
Many of you may have used rubber stamps before either while crafting or in the office. Rubber
stamps are pieces of rubber that can be carved and molded into an image or pattern. The rubber
can be mounted onto a stable block and then the ink is coated onto the design and then pressed
onto some sort of fabric or paper so the colored image is transferred.
There are three basic types of stamps. These are listed below;
1) Regular Rubber Stamps
These are the basic kind that are used with a separate ink pad. They are easy to get hold of
and cheap to buy. However they may be messy if not used properly. This type is ideal for
crafters since you can own a variety of designs to decorate almost anything. However, these
stamps are also perfect for office workers. The stamp does not need to be replaced only the
inkpad when it runs...

A Graceful Flowing Font
by: Allan T. Price
Do you think anyone has declared moving type to be the end of civilization in the same way people said typewriters were killing letter writing, telephones were isolating people, and television and the Internet were isolating young folk from other people? Did anyone rouse the mob to drive out that wicked Johannes Gutenberg and his dreadful machine? Certainly the people who said that telephone was killing the art of letter writing have yet to suggest that email is bringing back that same historic art.
Obviously, few emails are works of art, and you can?t write and email in a graceful flowing hand on beautiful soft cr?me paper with an intense and delightful color of ink. But then, most people can?t write in a graceful flowing handwriting, and never could, even with the right pen, right ink and right paper. On the other hand, what people CAN put in an email is steadily expanding. We already have the option...

How to Remove a Permanent Marker Stain
by: Brenda H. Murphy
Due to the unique contents of various inks, not to mention the color and materials of a garment, no one solution works for all clothing or all types of markers. Remember when trying to remove a permanent marker stain, that you should first check the garment for its content, as well as any manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure you have a pad of paper towels underneath the area of material that you are trying to get the stain out of. Lay the item face down and work from the back of the stain, to avoid pushing the marker contents further into the fibers. Whatever stain removal method you choose, there are two basic rules: test it first on an area that will not show, to see if it stains or damages the fabric/color, and always air dry the garment after laundering, in the event the stain is not gone, and needs to be treated again. The heat from a dryer can set the stain so deeply that removal...

The Changes That Goes With Color Printing
by: Jinky C. Mesias

These new developed printing papers shows the same smoothness, brightness and opacity that are just perfect for any type of printing process. Plus with the continuous increase in the market share of ink jets and the equally high demand for quality ink jet printing especially on uncoated or lightly size-press-treated paper makes it further practical to develop new kinds of paper.
