As we move into the heart of the political mailing season, we tend to see trends of more standardized mailings on more standard paper stocks based on ink sales trends.  It seems that our number one seller, HP’s versatile ink (c8842a), becomes a bit more popular during political season.  We’ll keep our stock levels up for those last minute mailings.

There are only 7 do’s and don’ts for success, and these are refreshing 🙂 … This isn’t to say that the information isn’t valuable, I just like pointing out the silliness of some of the headlines.

Whether you’re dealing with drought, or dancing between raindrops to get a chance at your favorite summer holiday events, we hope that you make a great time of it.  Have a fantastic 4th of July!!

We will be open on July 1st for orders, but will be closed on July 4th.

I have to admit that I find saying “Guarantees” in the headline only means “can” in the subhead.  But anytime there is a chance of one thing guaranteeing balance, I’m all ears … http://www.fastcompany.com/3060837/your-most-productive-self/the-one-habit-that-guarantees-you-a-more-balanced-life

In case you needed a rationalization for taking another day or two off in July, here you have it… It’s better for the economy.  Maybe if we can find one that says “It’s for the children” we’ll all vacation 52 weeks a year 🙂 http://www.fastcompany.com/3061017/your-most-productive-self/the-secret-economic-and-career-benefits-of-taking-vacation?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds.

I guess I don’t think about watches nearly enough, but if I did, I think this would be a cool way to go http://smallbiztrends.com/2016/05/bamboo-watches-australia.html, although I think with my use of a Pebble watch for several years, mine would need to be at least a little bit smart 🙂

As we turn from spring  to summer and get together with friends and family to celebrate graduations and other milestones together, let’s take a moment to pause…

Maybe even another moment…

To remind ourselves of the liberties that we have, and the price, through individual and group sacrifice, that others were willing to pay to provide for us.

Have a happy Memorial Day, and safe travels on the holiday weekend and into whatever summer plans you may have.
