The Short Run Technology
by: Viojieley Gurrobat
Say you own a training or consultation company. You probably use training manuals and instructional materials often. These can include instruction booklets, user guides, training manuals and others. From time to time you need to add or change some information in these manuals so that all materials are up-to-date. But printing a whole set of new materials every month can cost quite a lot and most companies cannot afford these. Short run printing ensures that you don?t have to throw away obsolete materials and can allow you to print new manuals easier, faster and at low cost. Short run printing makes it possible to print high quality materials at shorter runs than before.
Short run printing has benefited from the changes in the printing technology and the growth of the Internet. For the first time, technology can make small print jobs economically possible. Perhaps the most expensive part of short run printing is the binding and cover. Many people have opted for simplified cover design that may be one color or unlaminated.
So why should you avail of short run printing? First of all, it offers improved quality of printed materials. In the past in order to avail of cost effective printing, the alternative is to avail of lower quality printers and copiers. These days it is now possible to print full color materials with no additional prices. Short run printing has made printing high quality materials possible. Additionally, short run printing requires less labor. Traditional printing press operation can be labor intensive from start to finish. Short run printing technology, on the other hand, requires little labor but it needs skilled employee to run a digital press. They have to be knowledgeable about pre-press and print.
Moreover, when revisions have to be made the cost of additional print runs and manual update can add to the overall cost of the document. When you are using short run printing, you make revisions just before the document is printed. And as fewer employees are needed for the short run printing workflow, administrative costs can also be lower. Likewise, the printing company can store your document and print additional copies as needed since your document is done digitally. So when you need additional print runs, the printer can produce additional copies that look the same as the first print run.
By and large, short run printing represents a bond of print technology, Internet development and skilled printers that can only work in the interests of greater sales to the benefit of printers, business owners and customers alike.

Art Myths Debunked
Art Myths Debunked
by: Corinne Cain
Assumption: Art becomes more valuable once an artist dies.
Actuality: Prices escalate only when demand is greater than supply.
Prices can increase if there was a shortage of the artist's work prior to his or her death and if the demand continues to be significantly greater than supply.
Art News (November 2003) presented an article on the ten most wanted artworks.
These would sell individually for more than $5 Million IF the present owners would let me them go.
However, as the collectors know they could not acquire a replacement painting/sculpture/drawing, they won't be selling these artworks.
Assumption: An artist's proof is more valuable than a print from the regular edition.
Actuality: Artist's proofs are routinely consistent with the regular edition in appearance and value.
On rare occasions, a color trial proof be judged to be more valuable than...

Are Tibetan Rugs Popular?
Are Tibetan Rugs Popular?
by: John Murray
We've all heard about Tibetan rugs, but are Tibetan rugs popular in our North American culture? The popularity of Tibetan rugs waxes and wanes from month to month. One minute there is interest in the North American market, the next there is none.
Tibetan rugs are a tribal tradition and their designs are pictorial and generally focus on the Buddhist element. There rugs will also include geometric patterns. Collectors can't seem to decide if these unique rugs are worth their investment dollars or not.
Older Tibetan rugs in good condition are hard to find. Most never left Tibet and thus the only ones available in the North American market are the more current rugs. Few rug dealers provide an opportunity to purchase beautiful old Tibetan rugs. More often than not the rugs that have found their way to the western world are the checkerboard rugs which are a variety of the tsuktruk weavings. They are...

How To Look Gorgeous In Red Women's Fashion
How To Look Gorgeous In Red Women's Fashion
by: Janice Wee
Red is a sexy color. Think of the lady in red who turns the heads of every red blooded man around her. Think of the Hollywood starlet in her beautiful red gown. Or Julia Roberts, so radiant, so beautiful in her red gown in Pretty Woman.
The irony is that red is one color that few women dare wear.
Some women feel that red is too glaring. Some tried wearing red dresses and felt they looked like fire engines instead. Granted, red is an attention grabbing color. Not for someone who wants to disappear in the crowd. But if you want to be a star, if you are sick of being the perpetual wallflower red is the color to wear.
Red is a fiery color associated with love, passion, ambition.. with living.
A woman who wears the right shade of red looks stunning. She garners admiring glances all around.
Every woman can look really stunning in red.. if she knows what colors in general...

What a Five-Year-Old Taught Me About Decorating
What a Five-Year-Old Taught Me About Decorating
by: LaJoyce Kerns
My 5-year-old grandson is getting his own room.
He?s very excited at the prospect and quite determined to put his own personal stamp on the decorating process.
I like to listen to him explain why certain things must be certain ways; it?s an entertaining and charming view of the world through his eyes.
I listened when he shared his decorating ideas, and this is what he taught me (my poor adult interpretations are in parentheses):
You should use your favorite color a lot (if you like pink or green or red, don?t be afraid to use it as much as you can).
If you don?t like a color, don?t use it (doesn?t matter what anyone says is popular, if you don?t like it, don?t use it).
You need room to put all your good stuff out where you can see it and play with it (don?t store your treasures away, display them).
When you get tired of something, hide...
