PR & NewsUK Photographic Calendar TestThe best way to create a calendar with your own photographsThere are three different ways to make your own photo calendar. If you have many photo prints which you prefer to stick onto paper and if you want to add hand drawn images, an old style pre-printed calendar template will still be useful. More versatile and interesting is making photographic calendars through software, and the result looks most professional when printed by a proper photo service. For this you normally have to use the software which the (online) photolab provides (usually) for free at http://fotoinsight.co.uk/calendar FotoInsight offers wall and desktop calendars. All calendars are printed professionally on 250 gr/m2 paper using Indigo technology (except the Desktop calendar in tin box which is processed on photographic paper) and cost between £4.99 and £16.99 per calendar plus £2.80 delivery (Europa wide, also with seperate delivery address). Printing-1 is the independent option for photo book calendars for Mac OS and Windows PC users, but no wall calendars. Printing-1 websites includes a kind of photo sharing service, which allows to show the layout to others online prior to a print order: http://www.printing-1.co.uk - Discount: First order £5 off.

Worth Knowing About the Letter Box – Now New in the InternetEveryone likes a nice letter of a friend or other friendly regards per mail. Not to mention the heartbeat when receiving a tender lover letter. Every letter box is like a showbag that can include new surprises every day when the mail god is in a good mood. But there is even more delight when the mail goes into a beautiful letter box. This you can imagine with a visit of the new website http://www.briefkasten-berater.de. Letter boxes have two tasks: on the one hand they certainly should reliably receive the daily mail and protect them against all weathers and unauthorized access until the true recipient opens them. On the other hand letter boxes are a kind of personal style avowal. And that is the reason why it is so interesting which types and forms of letter boxes there are and what design is most suitable for what function. Tobias Berke can help in an informative and entertaining way. The category “historical” tells worth knowing and amusing about the history of the letter box. “Letter box models” make clear in how many shapes and styles letter boxes can appear. The assorted „manufacturing techniques“ deal with the technical basic raw materials stainless steel, plastic, aluminium cast and galvanized steel. Also “special letter boxes” have a chapter of their own – here you may find for example the night letterbox. And who would have thought that a “dead Letter box” can be very vivid as the corresponding history shows divertingly. Who really wants to know what’s going on with the mail takes the right choice with the letter box consultant. 1001 Jackets in the InternetIn the movie “Aviator” Leonardo DiCaprio embodies the dazzling and even mysterious character of the eccentric millionaire and visionary Howard Hughes. Following a real oil painting that shows the aviation obsessed man with a greasy pilot leather jacket the actor was dressed with a brown leather blouson made by a known manufacturer. And it happened what happens often in such moments: Leo’s leather jacket become a fashionable cult object over night. All viewers that had enjoyed the movie wanted to have such a jacket. Funny enough that the real Howard Hughes probably never had a jacket like this. But that did not do the strong demand any harm. And so the pilot jacket became the secret movie star. As you can see the topic jackets is full of surprises and amusing stories. And the internet makes you wish for more. The portal http://www.jacken4you.de pays attention to this piece of clothing with the categories baseball jackets, blazer, down jackets, fleeces, flight jackets in general, jeans jackets, hood jackets, leather jackets, biker jackets, outdoor jackets, rain coats, retro jackets, sports coats, ski coats, summer jackets, sports jackets, autumnal jackets, windproof jackets and winter jackets. The exciting stories about the stylish never ending topic were mixed up with an entertaining sort of “nice to know”. At the category “others” related topics are introduced (for example jewellery and bargains). Here you may also find the surprisingly easy way to get jackets for one Euro. The great partner website http://www.top-jacken.de joins the world of jackets and adds infotainment about “coats“. Here, everybody can find his or her favourite jacket. This is for sure. Successful Start of the PRINTplusX Workshop SeriesSuccessful Start of the PRINTplusX Workshop Series In the framework of the PrintCity Alliance / f.mp. shared PRINTplusX Project, over 100 representatives from all segments of the graphic arts industry met at the first two Workshops in Augsburg (10 July) and Hamburg (15 July) to discuss the possibilities of Value Added Printing.
The main focus was on the impact and benefit of high-quality print products for differentiating and positioning brands and products.
"The project and the workshop concept are obviously just what the industry was waiting for." That is the first conclusion drawn by Anke Böckmann (UPM), the PRINTplusX Project Manager for PrintCity. "One thing became very clear: there's a great demand for expertise and for an exchange of experience and information between all concerned."
This view is also confirmed by Martin R. Rossmeissl, Head of Production at Publicis in Hamburg: "All the players involved gained a better understanding of the (creative) idea. In future Publicis customer projects, we will definitely make even greater use of the expertise of all the project partners in order to optimally present the value of our customers' brands and also convey it emotionally. There's no question of just using value added techniques for the sake of ‘value added’."
The morning was devoted to examining value added printing from different angles. Anne Unger from Anne Unger Kommunikation spoke about "Print as a Medium for Positioning, Differentiating and Branding", after which Josef Handlos from Pantos Werbeagentur presented "The Road from the Idea to the Product" in an advertising agency. Klaus Valet from Hammesfahr printers examined "The Changed Role of Printers in the Media World". His conclusion: "Value Added Printing is an opportunity for the printing industry".
Also presented were the initial results of a diploma paper on the measurability of added value, which is currently being prepared in collaboration with Stuttgart Media University (Hochschule der Medien).
The diverse possibilities offered by finishing technologies and materials were subsequently actively elaborated on the basis of concrete cases in small working groups. The results of these creative efforts were then discussed, particularly as regards their technical and economic feasibility.
"I particularly liked the creative exchange of experience in the Workshop Groups. The great variety of suggestions I heard during the presentation of the results gave me a number of new ideas for print finishing," says Jörg Nagel (media production professional) from Philipp und Keuntje. "A mastery of this finishing toolkit is indispensable for picking just the right solution in a specific instance."
