As we become increasingly more aware of our own impact to the environment and how we can improve our CD and DVD replication processes and packaging materials to be more “green”, we have noticed a trend in this digital era, that more and more companies are distributing their yearly catalogs and manuals in the PDF format on a printed CD; rather than the previous method of printing and binding physical catalogs. Not only are they saving the paper, ink and binding materials in regards to the environment, they are saving money in shipping as a CD weighs much less than a 100 pg printed catalog. It just makes too much sense! Also, VE Associates, Inc. has the ability to create autolaunching welcome screens when the CD is inserted to a PC computer, to help navigate the user to the correct PDF if there are multiple files. The splash screen can also include a logo, a link to the company web site, video clips, photos, audio files, and anything else the end user might find helpful. If you’re still printing your yearly catalogs, give VE a call to discuss making the transition to CD!
Have you ever looked at a picture of the sky on your computer screen, which is light passing through your monitor in RGB color mode, and admired how blue it can look? Then, you print that same image and wonder how or why it printed so purple? It’s because the 4 main ink colors used to make all colors in the printing process are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black - or CMYK. This is a completely different color mode than RGB. RGB is the “true” spectrum of color, and contains all ranges of possible color through light. By contrast, the strongest dominations of inks that can be mixed and applied to a physical surface such as paper or plastic, exist in the 4 main colors of the CMYK color mode. This mode is greatly limited in color options by comparison to the RGB color mode, however it is the standard for mixing all of the colors needed for photo printing in the printing process. So, going back to the blue sky, if you convert the image to CMYK, and look at the color values and see that you have a high concentration of Magenta, then you’ll understand why it printed so purple. Magenta is a dominant color, and on the monitor/screen may look blue-ish, but when printed… well you know the rest. So here’s the printing tip of the day: Understand that blue is one of the most difficult colors to acheive well in the printing process - So if you want something to print blue that’s in CMYK color mode, make sure to have a very low percentage of Magenta in your color values and your chances of printing blue will be much higher! Stay tuned for more tips…
Have you ever noticed that sometimes the best gifts are the ones that required the most thoughtfulness yet the least amount of money? Take a wedding party favor for example… you can give an expensive truffle in a wrapped box that will be gone in moments, or you give a slideshow DVD full of memorable photos of family and friends close to you that will be cherished for a lifetime. The funny thing is, 100 individually wrapped chocolates actually costs more than 100 Printed DVDs! DVDs are also great for retirement celebrations, memorial services, high school reunions and the list goes on. Make sure the next time you are thinking of great way to make a gift special, consider calling VE Associates to help you with your options.
