EDITORIAL It's Easy to Find the Silver Lining www.MyPRINTResource.com PUBLISHER Kelley Holmes 800-616-2252 x6104 kelley@quickprinting.com EDITOR Karen Lowery Hall 800-616-2252 x6108 karen@quickprinting.com Even when an issue of QP looks slim, there is still a world of content waiting for you. By Karen Lowery Hall Senior Consultant Bob Hall browndawg@aol.com Sr. Contributing Columnists Tom Crouser David Fellman John Giles tom@crouser.com dmf@davefellman.com john@johngiles.com or several years now, we have produced the official Show Daily for Graph Expo/PRINT, so our time in Chicago is dedicated entirely to that project. During the show, a lot of my email ends up on the back burner. So while traveling home, I was trying to catch up on some correspondence that had been languishing in limbo during the week. A subject line that read "Wow the September Issue" grabbed my attention. It was a wonderful note from Bill Harden of Accel Printing & Graphics Corp. in Mt. Kisco, NY. It read: Karen, Thank you for restoring my favorite trade publication to its former glory. I have just read it cover to cover, learned new stuff, got an idea or two, and feel my time was well spent. You brought back the sunshine after years of clouds of grey. Thanks again! Thank you, Bill! I immediately forwarded the message to the rest of our team. It was nice of Bill to give me credit, but QP is always a team effort. We share the ups and we share the downs. That email made all of us smile. Then I started to wonder...years of clouds of grey? I'm pretty sure that Bill was talking about the size and heft of the magazine (which was the subject of my editorial in that issue), but I feel he was missing something. And he's not the only one. I hear about this all the time. In months when the printed magazine is a bit lighter, as it is this month, there is still a world of good content at your fingertips. Literally. Turn to the table of contents and take a look. See that section called Web Exclusives? Those are the articles that were assembled for this issue, but simply didn't fit into the pages we were allotted. They are easy to find. Go to MyPRINTResource.com and just enter the number at the end of the address into the search bar. It will take you directly to the article. You say you'd still like it better if it was printed? No worries! Just click the print icon and slip the pages inside this issue. Before you know it, you'll have a fine, fat magazine. And the next time you talk to your equipment, consumables, and service providers tell them how much you like it when your favorite magazine is nice and chubby. Suggest they buy a print ad. After all, that's how we get more pages, and you get a free subscription. So sing along with me, you know the words: "I like big books and I cannot lie..." ◗◗ Contributing Columnists David Claerbaut Nancy DeDiemar Mitch Evans Steve Johnson Stuart Margolis Joe Rickard Tawnya Starr Debra Thompson drdc46@yahoo.com nancy91762@gmail.com mitch@mitchevansconsulting.com steve@copresco.com bPfaff@margolisbecker.com jrickard@intellectives.com tawnya.starr@firespring.com debra@tgassociates.com CORPORATE OFFICE 3 Huntington Quadrangle, Suite 301 North Melville, NY 11747 Phone: 800-308-6397 Fax: 631-845-2741 F "Every time I think I know what the economy is going to do, it either does something completely different or it does nothing at all." —David Pitts Account Executives Kimberly Jorgensen x6103 kimberly@quickprinting.com Paul Zimmerman x6214 paul@quickprinting.com Production Manager Tina Kennedy x6253 tina.kennedy@cygnus.com Art Director john.sidor@cygnus.com John Sidor x6362 European Sales Representative, ITSL Media Julian Maddocks-Born, Sales Director julian@itsluk.com, +44 (0)1442 230033 Benedict Hume, Sales Manager benedict@itsluk.com, direct line +44 (0)1442 288287 CIRCULATION Jackie Dandoy x1711 jackie.dandoy@cygnus.com For change of address or subscription information, call 877-382-9187, fax 920-563-1704, or circ.quickprinting@omeda.com REPRINT SERVICE For reprints and licensing, please contact Nick Iademarco at Wright's Media 877-652-5295 ext. 102 or niademarco@wrightsmedia.com LIST RENTALS Elizabeth Jackson 847-492-1350 x18 ejackson@meritdirect.com CEO John French CFO Paul Bonaiuto SVP, Strategy & Business Development Blair Johnson VP, Marketing Gerry Whitty VP, Audience Development Julie Nachtigal VP, Technology Eric Kammerzelt VP, Production Operations Curt Pordes VP, Human Resources Ed Wood Q U I C K P R I N T I N G • P R I N T I N G N E W S • W I D E - F O R M A T I M A G I N G Visit the QP blogs at www.MyPRINTResource.com/blogs. 6 QUICK PRINTING / October 2013 w w w. q u i c k p r i n t i n g . c o m
