Epsen Hillmer needs to take advantage of better technologies in the label printing industry. Currently the company provides litho, flexo, letterpress, silkscreen, and combination plate printing with varnish and lamination capabilities to meet the needs of their current custom label customer base. Litho printed labels are found on juice bottles such as Apple Tree and Langer's Juices. Flexo printing is often used to print simple labels such as meat, bakery, and deli merchandising labels; EHG stocks many of these labels. Letterpress is used in a great deal of four-color process work (4CP), this would include Campbell's Foodservice labels, Dannon Whips labels, and Seminis Seed labels. Silkscreen is often used on shampoo products, such as Alberto-Culver's labels, to provide a pop to the label. These are all plate printing methods, which are often used to reduce overall costs for the customer; however, the plates wear out and break and need to be maintained for best print capabilities. When the plates deteriorate they can be greater color variation in the labels, which makes customers unhappy because these labels are their product image. The steps that need to be taken to prepare a plate job for print can take a great deal of time, which can be detrimental to Epsen Hillmer Graphics because many of the customers work in just-in-time (JIT) and don't allow for a lead time of 3-4 weeks before their labels are even shipped.

In my grand visions, I overlook a slightly smaller medium: the postage stamp. Caught in my busy routine, I rarely stop to closely examine these gems. A square inch canvass can often reward the viewer more than a mural will. With his unique Picasso meets Dali style, Hans Erni rekindled my interest in stamp collecting. Born in Lucerne, Erni shared my Swiss heritage as well as boasting a considerable amount of artistic prowess. More than 90 postage stamps from Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the United Nations feature his designs (American Sport Art Museum).
... be less likely to smear the prints. Large objects should be fastened down with string on wood or heavy cardboard (Andrus et al., n.d., para 53).

As we take a look at how to preserve your memories with scrapbooking let’s take a look at the history of scrapbooking. “As early as the 1825, the first serial of scrapbook idea book called “The Scrapbook” was issued”, (History of Scrapbooking). In the early days, scrapbooking was not about preserving photos as today because the camera was not even invented yet. It was more about keeping memories and preserving special mementos such as a ticket, card, quote or poem. This still holds true today and we collect the things that are important to us and want to preserve them so our families can relive our memories for years to come. “In mid-1990s, with the explosion of scrapbook idea publications, scrapbooking picked up speed in becoming one of the fastest growing hobbies in America:, (History of Scrapbooking). Now that we know about the history of scrapbooking, are you ready to get some scrapbooking done?
Paperclips are an everyday use in today's world. They hold our papers together, when we don’t want to use a stapler that will poke the unwanted holes into our paper. They also keep our papers organized and neat. There are many types of paper clips that were created, but only a few really were the ones. Over the many years, since ancient Eurasia, the clip has made its way through many patents, inventors, machines, and much more. There are many different colors, sizes, forms of paper clips.

When a person thinks of scrapbooking, what do they think? I think of all the pictures and memorabilia that I have saved to create a portrait of my life which I can cherish forever. Scrapbooking is more than making cute pages. Scrapbooking is a unique craft and strange hobby that is rapidly changing (“What”). One wants to make sure all the photos in the scrapbook are safe and won’t be destroyed. As the science of photography is changing, the life of the pictures is being increased, as long as all the safe materials are being used and precautions are taken in what they are doing and how it is being done (“What”).
As part of an assignment for my writing class, I was asked to invent my own writing technology including something to write with and on. For my writing technology, I formed words with the juices of leaves and wrote on a piece of bark. To do this, I first needed to find a piece of bark that was big enough to write on and light enough so that the writing would show up. After getting a few pieces of bark from the trees near my house, I began experimenting by printing on them with the leaves from a houseplant. I did this by twisting one end of the leaf and smearing it onto the bark. Once I figured out the bark that worked the best, I wrote the words “Not a pencil.” I wrote this for two reasons. One reason is because it pointed out another writing technology that people rarely consider, the pencil. Secondly, it referenced the emphasis Denis Baron puts on the pencil in his article, “From Pencils to Pixels.”
The two main ways printers work is either impact or nonimpact. Impact printers have a device that touches the paper and then creates an image while nonimpact does not touch the paper. The type we use most often in our homes is the nonimpact printers; these include the ink-jet and laser printers. The ink-jet printer drops ink from a nozzle onto the paper. The laser printer is a bit more complicated because it uses toner, static electricity, and heat to get the ink where you want it on the paper. This is nice though because it decreases the drying time that may cause ink to smear, especially when you are printing pictures. (Tyson)
