The back smooth surface is great for working with clay and it doesn't stick to clay.

Since people in this forum go through these blankets and probably toss them out, I was hoping to reuse them for my purpose. Much better than going into a landfill.

    23 May 2013 | 5:05 am
    Parent company Daily Mail Group Trust (DMGT) said the decline was partly mitigated by the MailOnline's 61% revenue growth to £20m (2012: £12m), although this is still dwarfed by printed revenues. Combined revenue for the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline declined by 4% to £306m, which was attributed to an 8% decline in overall print advertising revenue and the 6% decline in circulation revenue. London's free paper Metro was hit by a post Olympics revenue decline of 8% to £40m (2012: £44m). Overall DMG Media, the division comprising DMGT's newspapers, Zoopla, Wowcher and…

    Will it fade? Its taken some effort to get prepared, but we are excited to announce the commencement of a major long term comparative trial of the lightfastness of different digital and flexo label printing technologies.  The results will take some time, but we believe this will become a definitive study on the lightfastness of all the major digital label printing technologies, plus flexo for comparison.

    Create Short and Simple is an original article from: M-bossed.com — A media blog. ©2009 Ryan McAbee || Seth Godin writes like he talks — to the point. Somewhere along the way, through a blog or podcast, I heard Seth Godin say that it is much harder to convey your message in a short book than the typical 300 page novel. Godin’s brevity might not be the only reason for his success, but I believe it is an important one. Software that is short and simple is more successful too. According to Nielsen, the average smartphone user has 41 apps on their phone. These apps serve a single…

The sitelet used a mock company called Crescent Bluffs to demonstrate the amount of time VLG could engage the prospect in the demo. I was engaged for 1 minute 41 seconds. I took VLG’s bait of virtually opening a hotel door to a room with a virtual key on the screen.

    About a month ago when I shared “Finding the fun by changing direction,” I didn’t anticipate that part of the fun would be learning the value of performing keyword research before writing a blog post. But half the fun of most journeys is not knowing where they will take you or what you will end up learning.

The short answer is both SEO and keyword research are a necessity if your blog is going to be a profitable business. But I’m not talking…

    It’s always fun looking at product collages, especially when they are neatly arranged and numbered for us to enjoy! Even more when they have special arrows pointing at them and indicating the detail of the images-that touch grabs our attention even more!

  • Paper Is Eco Friendly

    Day2Day Printing
    17 Apr 2013 | 5:00 pm
    Its unfortunate that the paper industry gets the stigmata of being responsible for causing deforestation and ruining the environment. It is through misleading environmental claims like deforestation in North America, excessive energy consumption and crowded landfill sites, that gives the paper industry bad publicity. However, with a little more information, it soon becomes clear that the paper industry is not the demon that ...The post Paper Is Eco Friendly appeared first on Design & Marketing Blog.

  • 3D Printing Anxiety Based On 2D Printing Fears?

    maverickmindonline
    14 May 2013 | 7:17 am
    Image via newmoney.gov While we’ve been off focusing on other initiatives, others have taken up the mantle that 3D printing has a lot in common with 2D printing. Check out this recent article that suggests much of the recent anxiety around 3D printing stems from lessons learned in traditional, 2D printing. For us, it’s further validation that 2D printers are doing themselves a disservice if they don’t keep a very close eye on 3D printing. Further, 3D printing needs more people from a traditional printing background. The industry is sorting out many of the same…

  • 3D Printing is the Fast Track to Innovation

    Many in the industry consider prototypes the primary or, “killer” application for 3D printing. Why? Because new products are typically designed using 3D software, they’re also “print ready,” making them low hanging fruit for anyone with a 3D printer. But because of 3D printing, more prototypes are also “production ready.” The prototype is the product! This allows people to disrupt the traditional product innovation process, making 3D printing a fast track to innovation. Industry insider and MakerBot CEO, Bre Pettis certainly drinks the kool-aid. He says, “Makerbot is…

    Yesterday I read a piece from Marc Lefton in AG Beat, entitled “How to Take Advantage of Print Media While They Still Exist.” I was struck by a number of thoughts. First, I thought how inflamatory the title would have been even a couple of years ago. Second, as I read into it, found myself questioning Mr. Lefton’s assertion that businesses can get a better rate of return by advertising in local newspapers than online – been there tried that, and didn’t like the result. The biggest chord struck for me in the article though, was his explanation of the “Newspaper Business…

  • Where Will Makers Go For 3D Printing?

    Atom 3D Printed Guitar There’s a lot of debate right now about where we’ll all be printing in 3D. One one hand, you have those who believe we’ll 3D print from home. On the other you have those who predict we’ll order prints from websites or a local 3D print shop. Now we’re asking you…do you think we’ll all have 3D printers or will we pay someone else to print our 3D objects? Take Our Poll

  • A Future So Bright You’ll Need 3D Printed Shades

    maverickmindonline
    6 Dec 2012 | 9:16 am
    The 3D print-for-pay market is set to explode. Recent advancements in 3D printing, fueled in part by investment from crowdfunding initiatives, are creating a demand for 3D printed objects. Not only are consumers purchasing 3D desktop printers for home use, they’re paying others to print on their behalf, locally at 3D print shops, and online via web-to-print (W2P) sites. An entire industry is being developed to support this demand, creating opportunities from creation to delivery. I’m so bullish on this market that I recently created a blog to cover it and promote its growth. In 2008, I…
