Tired of always making new holes in the walls? Try repositionable vinyl for your next poster projects instead of the traditional framed look.
This product works great on glass and is a fantastic fit if you have limited walking space through a hallway. It is low profile, so it takes up very little space. Repositionable vinyl is also a cost effective alternative if you have to hang something for a limited time. Perfect to use for signage for an upcoming event or for a limited announcement.
There’s a variety of vinyl’s available to fit all your needs. We carry white and clear - permanent adhesive and removable. The permanent adhesive is ideal for applying to beverage bottles, salsa bottles, vinyl binders or even covering up that pesky little typo on your large vinyl banner that you don’t want to reprint. We’ve even had clients adhere them to boxes that will be shipped and large machinery. The removeable is more ideal for window displays and temporary applications or adhering to something you may want to peel off later.
Add repositionable vinyl into your marketing repertoire. It is a fantastic complement to all of your other print collateral. Call your Sales Representative or CSR today to see how this product may work for your next poster job!!
A one stop source for multiple layers of information needed to develop and create the highest quality printed materials from industry experts.

Timeliness vs. Quality
As a printer, if you found a mistake on a piece and knew that fixing it would make the job late, what would you do? Even though it can be an uncomfortable conversation, these are our thoughts ….
A recent example: A large, new client has a quarterly catalog they brought to us to produce. We saddle-stitched the books incorrectly and went into panic mode to correct the problem and still deliver the product on time. There was no way we could meet the deadline if we fixed all of the books. We called the clients, tail between legs, and told them the books did not look good. They kindly agreed to give us the time to fix the catalogs. In return for their understanding, we added a complimentary varnish that enhanced the look of the catalog and reduced smudging.
In the end, everyone was thrilled with the outcome. We were lucky they had a little time to give and they were very pleased with the high-quality product we provided. There are definitely situations when meeting a deadline may reduce the level of quality able to be provided, but we have found that keeping clients in the loop is vital in empowering them to make the final call that best suits their needs. Just like mom always said, honesty is the best policy.
What have you done in a sticky situation like this one? Would you admit the mistake? Let us know; we always want to learn from others’ experiences!
Contact the customer, share the issue, and let him or her make the decision.

“If you don’t take care of your customers, somebody else will.” - FedEx
Customers want things to move more quickly and have better quality, but they still want to connect with an actual person when they call your company. Do the rules of yesteryear like using customers’ names, remembering something about each customer, and making them feel special still apply today? We think they do.
With so many companies offering similar products, you have to set yourself apart. Even though technology has made so many things easier in our society, people still like talking to people. Customers love and will rave about great performance, not only to their colleagues, but across social media networks as well.

Customers love and will rave about great performance, not only to their colleagues, but across social media networks as well.
Consequently, even in a tech-driven world, making that personal connection has far-reaching benefits. Each of us has the power to reach a much broader audience than we could a few years ago, and that audience has innumerable outlets to make its experiences with us known.
Your front line employees play a critical role in how your customers connect with you. It is very important to empower these folks. Make sure they understand how valuable top-notch customer service is to your customers. Quality in customer service is as important as it is in your product or service. Don’t be afraid to direct customers to your online ordering systems, websites and social media sites, but always make sure there is a person available behind the technology. Empower the front line to make things right when they go wrong. Teach them the power of “yes”.

Can you imagine what a powerhouse your company could be if you coupled these customer service rules with an awesome product and speedy turnaround times?

Picture Perfect Photos
A lot of times people think that a photo that looks good on screen or on line will print just as clearly. That all depends on the resolution of the photo and the scale you are enlarging it to. A file will always be fine if you reduce it, it’s blowing it up that can get you in trouble. To help understand the restrictions and how much enlarging is too much here is my rule of thumb.
- Never enlarge a file more than the resolution it is.
So, if a file is 72 dpi - don’t enlarge it more than 72 percent.
250dpi - don’t go any bigger than 250 percent and so forth.
- Always remember to be thinking about your end product. If you are building a file at half size, you have to do double the math to make sure your photos will stay in top notch quality.
Just remember, we are here to help! So, anytime you are in doubt send us the image in question. We can take a look at it and guide you through the process.
