30 things about printing and ideas and stuff

Here's an interesting thing.

Actually it's an interesting PDF. "30 things about printing and ideas and stuff" was written by Marcus Brown from Peschke. Peschke is a German printer and they've got a blog which is quite interesting. The blog is called Hyper Thinking a Printing Company. I have no idea why.

I think they're trying to break into the UK market, or something. Not sure. But the blog looks quite interesting, and I'm a sucker for a numbered list and a "free" PDF.

I don't agree with everything in the PDF, but I thought I'd list a few that I do agree with.

8. This is very true. Ever time I've visited a printer, they've been desperate to show me their latest Heildelbergs and I'm just not interested. They are big machines with ink in. I know you love them but I'm not interested. Sorry.

14. All my suppliers should be like this. Accountants, lawyers, printers, sign makers, techies, whatever. Know stuff I don't, that's what you get paid for.

17. We've only found this out in the last few years, but printers can be very helpful in a pitch.

21. No comment needed.

25. Not sure I agree with this one. A blog is nice, but I'm more than happy for you to sit watching Heildelbergs all day long.

You can download the PDF here.

Is there any chance to get the original PDF by mail as it doesn't seem to exist no more :-(
