Custom Printing: Thoughts on Promotional Magnets

Thursday, March 29th, 2018

A friend and colleague in the commercial printing field recently brought to my attention a flyer from a magnet company, or, more specifically, a manufacturer of magnetic paper used for custom printing.

Monday, March 12th, 2018

I read an article yesterday by a company that prints clients’ photos on canvas. The article, entitled “The Rise of Canvas in Art: From Oil Paintings to Photo Prints,” written by Jessica Stewart and published on www.mymodernmet.com on 3/6/18, got me thinking not only about the history of canvas but also about the sense of importance and permanence it conveys.

Custom Printing: Thoughts on Adding Inserts to Your Magazine

Tuesday, March 6th, 2018
