Re-Introducing the Holland Litho Resource CenterIf you are new to Holland Litho, or even if you've been working with us for a while, this may be your first issue of our Resource Center email newsletter. Here's why we think it has value. 1. We provide three timely articles of interest to the print buying community each month. If you find the time to read them, we think you'll find they add value. 2. We maintain an online resource center of our still-relevant prior articles at hollandlitho.com/resourcecenter.asp. There, you'll find a collection of over 200 of the best articles we've written over the years, in a searchable database organized by topic. We find it's a much easier format to navigate than a blog, which is typically organized primarily by date the article was posted. 3. The Resource Center also features some fantastic tools and widgets to help you manage your print projects, including a folding wizard, an envelope guide, and an environmental calculator that tallies the positive impact of using recycled stock, with specific numbers. If you'd rather not receive email, it's easy to opt out. Just click the link at the bottom of the email. You can always find us online. To help you navigate the collection, we've curated some of our favorites below. Enjoy! |
