Comment on Scanning: Tips For Adjusting The Image In Photoshop by pshizzy

pshizzy — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:07:37 +0000

A suggestion: Rather than trial and error, you can use the Ruler tool to figure out the degree of rotation needed. Simply draw a ruler on your document over any part of the document that SHOULD be straight but isn’t. It could be horizontal or vertical.

Then go to Image > Rotate Canvas > Arbitrary. You should see numbers already filled in. This is the degree of rotation that you will need to straighten the image.

It’s very quick and once you learn it, it’s easy to do over and over on many documents.

Hope that helps. I’ve already posted, and will be posting more Photoshop tutorials in the form of a Flash presentation on my blog at http://www.PShizzy.com . Feel free to take a look!

Adobe has long been the industry standard and become synonymous with print. While there are many programs available that offer similar features, sticking with Adobe products will ensure consistency with most print shops. That being said, knowing the diffe [...]

I have to respectfully disagree on the 80% business mailing list accuracy you mentioned. While some list services may indeed be inferior, I work with 3 or 4 that I have had very good results from.

Final step…CASS certify before you mail.

The original posting assumes that the data in a database comes from — where, exactly? If the distinction being made is that self-reported data is inferior to data confirmed via objective sources, you will get no disagreement — except, perhaps, from compilers who ask Yellow Page-listed companies to self-confirm their information.

Not sure where you get your statistics or information from but this is highly inaccurate. The D&B database is a multi-sourced database with the business owners being only one of the sources. Additionally, information accuarcy is benchmarked frequently with SIGNIFICANTLY higher results than your stated 80%.

Comment on Mailing Lists: Occupant List by Mark Gundersen

Mark Gundersen — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:20:24 +0000

The value of an occupant list is in the postage discounts and lead generation. The discounts can be significant over traditional mail advertisements ($10/m and higher). As for lead generation an occupant list contains every address as delivered by the USPS. Thus a client could ask for their own list to be supressed against an occupant file leaving non-customers. These can then be mailed, quite efficiently, generating leads not found in other traditional compiled files.

That will also depend on the type of printer your digital press center uses… some digital machines handle full bleed very nicely on the press! However offset pinting need to guilotined for creating a bleed effect on brochures and flyers… obviously $/hr come into efect then for both guilotine and staffing costs.

Thanks! Its painfully true how many people will send us their designs for flyers and brochures… especially graphic designers, and send in RGB or 70DPI for printing!

It seems a lot of graphic design schools don’t concentrate on prepress very well!

Comment on Digital Print Pricing: Low Quantities Can Be The Same Cost by Printing Australia- flyers, brochures, pamphlets, postcards & fliers

Printing Australia- flyers, brochures, pamphlets, postcards & fliers — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 05:35:43 +0000

Its interesting that you do note this… however the cost to the printer to set up a job for “digital printing” is neglible… most digital presses work very similar in fact to you own laser colour printer… So in reality, the cost for one flyer, brochure, or business card can actually be the same as 1,000 on a digital press.

On the other hand, offset printers are very expensive to set up, with plates, and inks all needing to be set up, as well as the machines neding to be cleaned after each job!

The benefit is that after about the 1,000 to 2,000 mark, they absorb their costs.

Go digital printing for less than 1,000 short runs, and go offset for larger runs of 1,000+
