Mills are known to upgrade the quality of a sheet. Even though a sheet could pass for a No. 1 grade, the mill may have no offering in a No. 2 grade yet, so they sell it as a No. 2 grade to complete their palette and annoy the competition. It’s all about marketing.
As for colored paper, it can enhance a one-color job and serve as a background cover, but it can also affect the appearance of the printed text and images. Blue ink on an ochre-yellow sheet will look gree
There are some necessary procedures that should be in place to ensure that your office is working like clockwork.Did you know that you can gain a lot more hours in your day if you have an organized office. Organized and efficient = more productive = increased profit.Let’s take it one at a time and look at all of the different systems in your office.Let’s start by looking at your phone system: Do you have someone who answers the phone for you Do you need someone on a full-time basis to answer the phone or would a part-time person or a virtual assistant work better If you are the person answering the phone – Are you wasting valuable time answering calls all day How many hours a day are you spending on the phone Would this time be more effective if it was spent with clients? If you are spending a lot of time on the phone, maybe you should look at posting specific hours on your website as to when you are available to speak with clients and allow your voic
In part 1 of this article, we talked about the economy of the design, style and finish, and here in Part 2, are three more priorities to consider when making your selection.
Color and Brightness
There is white, white and white. And let no one tell you anything different. Papers are available in blue-white, balanced white, natural white, soft white -- you name it.
Blue-whites, which are very popular at the moment, have a higher-brightness and allow colors to stand out, while warmer whites, which have a lower-brightness, are more comfortable on the eyes for reading or extended viewing.
As you can imagine, not every white fits every purpose. Don’t print warmer tones, such as skin tones, on a blue white sheet. It can easily make healthy-looking people look grey. This is what warmer white papers are made for.
Brightness
Yes, there is a definite hype going on when it comes to brightness. Don’t get hung up on finding the brightest paper because even when two sheets are placed next to each other, you won’t see a two-point difference in brightness.
Originally, AF&PA standards for paper grades determined that a No. 2 sheet had a brightness of 83-84 and a No. 3 sheet’s brightness was 80-83.
So, why do we see No. 3 sheets with brightness levels of over 90 these days? Let’s just say, brightness is not the only paper mill concern anymore and a sheet is whatever a manufacturer chooses to call it. In the end, the grade is determined by marketing.
A good quality, bright sheet is usually a more expensive sheet to make. Fillers and chemicals, such as fluorescent dyes and optical brighteners, are needed to create the paper’s bright appearance. While they help give the paper a blue-white shade, they also take a toll on the paper’s stability and runnability on press.
When it comes to a premium or No. 1 sheet, you pay for great brightness and perfect runnability. But how do you know which sheet/grade is right for you? Once you are considering a sheet, ask your supplier for a printed sample of the best sheet one grade below and compare.

Many small-businesses offer business-to-business services and they make their money on helping companies do what they cannot do in-house, but not all corporations want to outsource for business services. Therefore it can get a little tricky trying to market and advertise such a service business.It therefore makes sense to do a little public relations in the industry sub-sector that you are in. If you are a generalist and work within a specific area with all companies then you will need local publicity and local community goodwill, which is not easy to develop either.One great way to do public relations for business services is to write articles for the local business column in the local newspaper or write specific industry articles for various trade journals. Now, writing will not be easy but it gives you a chance to show some of your expertise and to put it out in the marketplace so people know that you are good at what you do and you know what you are talking about.There really is no easy way to develop local community goodw

Things may be looking up on the economic horizon, but organizations are still watching their budgets. For many of these companies, high employee turnover is an issue for the HR department, not the finance team.Before an organization implements an employee training program, several considerations must be made. First, companies need to understand the goals for the training program and then outline how the program might achieve those goals.Support from executive staff is also a critical concern, and is only achieved if key leaders are involved from the outset. Executive teams can help select training areas that they consider most important for managers, while managers can do the same for their team members.Organizations should also evaluate the merits of providing rewards and recognition for course completion. Some organizations offer annual management excellence certifications to individuals who complete several hours—in some cases, up to 60—of specific management courses. Certification demonstrates the managers’ active commitment

As for colored paper, it can enhance a one-color job and serve as a background cover, but it can also affect the appearance of the printed text and images. Blue ink on an ochre-yellow sheet will look green. Some mills have made great promotions available which show exactly what you can expect when you print C, M, Y, or K on a their colored stock.
But there are other options than offset printing on a colored stock. Create an interesting cover with blind embossing, foil stamping and/or a die-cut window that reveals a full color image on the inside of the brochure.
Weight
Now that we know which finish and color we want for our print job, lets look at weight. We have writing papers for letterheads, text sheets for text pages in a brochure and cover sheets. We all know that these guidelines don’t really have a big impact on your paper choice anymore.
In keeping with an overall trend for heavier weights in stocks, a lot of designers spec 80-90 lbs. text for letterheads and use light cover stocks for complete brochures inside and out. With an eye on tight budgets, these heavier papers can make up for a lower page count and still give a credible, dependable feel.
If your project will be printed on both sides and especially, if heavy ink coverage is involved, the paper’s opacity is crucial. Make sure the paper you choose does not allow any show-through. If in doubt, go one step heavier in weight.
If you are working on a piece that will be mailed, the weight of the finished piece is a major consideration. Watch out for postage costs and make sure the finished piece is below the USPS requirements. Look at your dummy and don't forget there will be ink added to the weight, as well.
Always stay on the lighter side. I remember a beautiful holiday card I designed for a client that was ready to be mailed and fit the 32-cent postal requirements perfectly. But then, my client decided to add a gift certificate and the postage went up to 55 cents.
There is something else you should remember: if bulk and weight are important, an uncoated sheet will work better for you. Due to the clay coating, a coated paper will weigh more than its same-sized counterpart. Even though it weighs less, the same piece printed on an uncoated sheet will be thicker because uncoated paper naturally has a higher bulk.
If your job requires stiffness, such as with a business reply card, make sure the paper is manufactured to calliper and guarantees a specific thi
