The New Customers Are In Town Today's customers are increasingly demanding, in Asia as elsewhere in the world.

Bridge Story - A Tale of Two Dragon Cities For first time visitors to China, one of the most stunning entry points is Shanghai. The view from the mouth of the Yangze River, which looks out over Shanghai and other cities, reveals an incredible urban and industrial panorama, clearly one of the most rapidly developing areas among all the cities of the world. And yet . . . The Chinese have described themselves as "A plate of scattered sand grains" that would never join or unite with each other. Piset, in his latest Awakening Dragon column, tells the story of Two Bridges to illustrate just some of the underlying dynamics of China's explosive economic growth. Barrel of Monkeys, 2004 Edition: Notes on Philippine Elections Well, it's election time in the Republic of the Philippines, and that means the monkeys are rolling around in those political barrels, having as much fun as they can while laughing their heads off at the strange goings-on that characterize a democratic process loosely based on the American model but that de facto looks more like a Fellini movie crossed with a Tom and Jerry cartoon - column includes a useful election-year glossary! Globalization Circa 2003: Random Reflections The word 'globalization' seems to have evolved into a cliche and handy dandy fighting word for ideologues. The alternative (and often conflicting) definitions and interpretations are enough to make you dizzy. Oldsmobile: The final parking lot Why General Motors dropped the Oldsmobile. The four brand paradoxes GM had to face - the name, the product, image re-positioning, and the consumer - all added up to a brand that had little hope of rebranding. Not All Jobs Belong To The White Man: Asian Minorities, Affirmative Action, And The Quest For Parity At Work Although a smattering of Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Indians, Thais, and others may crow about seeing their kind sitting in prominent positions in corporations and organizations in the USA, these accomplishments become mere cultural high-fives and ritualistic chest-thumping goaded and impishly patronized by 'mainstream society' - the milder and gentler term for the white-dominated populace. Downhome Pinoy Blues, Intersecting Life Paths, and Heartbreak Songs The Blues is alive and well in the Philippines, as evidenced by this appreciation of the Pinoy Blues band 'Lampano Alley', penned by columnist Clarence Henderson as a counterpoint to his usual economics, business, and culture fare.

Wholesale Cheap Printing: Making Offset Printing Work Best For You By Joel Owens When printing for a certain project, most companies or businesses settle for wholesale cheap printing to lower printing costs. However, though bulk printing is the most cost-effective way to print your advertising materials, it would be best to know the pros and cons to decide if it really suits your need.
You have to be careful in choosing what printing process to use to avoid a shoddy print job. Offset printing is used in bulk printing. This is the most cost-effective printing method to achieve the large quantity of prints with high-quality results.
Advantages
1.It works well when you require high print volumes for your project. Bulk printing works best when you’re printing multi-page prints like books, catalogs, booklets, newsletters, calendars or even large-scale marketing prints like postcards, business cards and flyers.
2.It is cost-effective. Offset printing can help you lower printing costs since most offset printers observe gang run printing. Gang run printing is a printing process where printers integrate multiple works on one plate. Using this method, they could maximize printing capacity and lower printing costs. The more you print the lesser price you get per piece.
3.You get consistent high-quality prints. In wholesale cheap printing, printed materials remain consistent even if your print projects run large-scale. You can ensure color fidelity, quality consistency from the very first print to the last. Offset printing provides better resolution and produces deeper, richer, solid colors. And prints produced via offset method do not fade easily.
4.You can get your prints fast. Bulk offset printing usually offers faster turnaround in print production. Offset printers can have your printed materials ready for delivery within 2 to 3 days. If speed is a requirement, bulk printing can accommodate your project faster since offset presses are dedicated to work efficiently in large-scale
projects.
5.Printing as big as 28 x 40. Aside from the standard sizes many printers give out for specific products, you can actually have any print processed for as big as 28x40 since offset presses accommodate this size.
Precautions:
1.When there’s a human error, it would be very costly to make up for the damages. You need to ensure that you review your proof first, better if you have it printed to avoid errors that would be printed in thousands of copies. Some printers have proofing departments but it is required on your part to check and re-check your proof before it goes to print.
2.Shipping Always remember that printing companies only specify the time the production time of your prints – this is the 2, 4 or 6 business days turnaround time. Shipping time is not included, so you need to remember to plan ahead to get your prints on the right date.
When all these aspects are considered, you can be sure that your next wholesale cheap printing job would not just rely on a toss of coin and a matter of luck. You can avoid future printing problems and unsatisfactory print jobs if you ensure that what you specifically need is provided by your printer.
