			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most people, photocopying is for presentations, newsletters, mass mailings and the like. But, according to the book Creative Photocopying, photocopiers are great tools for crafts and home décor projects as well.</p>
<p>Written by crafting gurus Stewart and Sally Walton, the book shows how photocopiers can be used for a range of decorative projects, from homemade wrapping paper to textile projects to decorating furniture and walls. Projects use copies of everything from family photographs, to calligraphy, to photocopies of textiles; the creative possibilities are boundless. This great book offers crafters illustrative photographs, a library of clipart, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to create such innovative projects as a decoupage fireplace, a circus-themed frieze, and an “underwater” bathroom.</p>
<p>Of course, Stewart and Sally Walton aren’t the only home décor experts using photocopiers in their craft. Martha Stewart has used photocopies to create everything from Halloween window decals to gift tags to wedding cakes.</p>
<p>For scrapbooks, holiday cards, cake decorating and home décor, a photocopier can be any crafter’s best friend. To create your own masterpieces, or for more information on <a href="http://www.hhprint.com/servicecenter/products_services.html?products_services_item=83367&amp;db_item=listitem">Metairie copying</a> or high quality color copying, contact <a href="http://hhprint.com">H&amp;H printing</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We sure have come a long way since carbon paper. High-velocity machines, full color capabilities, digital printing all keep the modern business world spinning. But if it weren’t for an arthritic patent attorney named Chester Carlson, we might not have it so easy. In the 1930s, Carlson’s job at the New York patent office required him to make numerous copies, the arduous, old fashioned way, with carbon paper and duplicating machines. But as an innovative part-time inventor, Carlson decided not to accept this fate.</p>
<p>In his kitchen, he conducted electrophotography experiments and using a zinc plate covered with sulfur, he made his very first photocopy in October of 1938. Though the experiment was successful, his idea didn’t take off. Between 1939 and 1944, Carlson’s idea was turned down by IBM, GE and approximately 20 other companies who felt there was no real market for photocopying.</p>
<p>After refining his technology, it eventually caught the attention of the Haloid Corporation, a small, New York-based manufacturer of photographic paper. In 1948 Haloid trademarked the first photocopier, calling it a Xerox Machine. The company eventually changed their name to the Xerox Corportation, and history was born.</p>
<p>The Xerox machine became one of the most well-known inventions of the 20th century, and boomed into a billion dollar industry. Chester Carlson, that arthritic patent attorney, became wealthy from his invention, but he didn’t let it go to his head. It’s reported he donated approximately $100 million of his wealth to charity during his lifetime.</p>
<p>Today, photocopying is a long way from Carlson’s first experimental image. We now get full color copies, sorted and collated for us with the push of a button. Documents, mass mailings, training manuals, complete with charts, graphs and images can be created within minutes. Though photocopying is much quicker than it once was, large projects can still be a drain on your manpower, and keeping up with the latest technologies can be expensive. For help with your <a href="http://www.hhprint.com/servicecenter/products_services.html?products_services_item=83344&amp;db_item=listitem">New Orleans copying</a> project, contact <a href="http://www.hhprint.com">H&amp;H Printing</a> for professional copying, graphic design and printing services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Designing a creative business card takes planning and consideration. Often times, a business card is the best way to make a lasting impression on a potential client.</p>
<p>If you present someone with a poorly designed card, it&#8217;s likely to end in the trash, and in an instant, you&#8217;ve lost a customer. But creating something visually appealing doesn&#8217;t have to be a nerve wracking chore. Additionally, you can hire a <a href="http://www.hhprint.com/servicecenter/products_services.html"><strong>graphic design firm</strong>, <strong>New Orleans</strong></a>, H &amp; Print Service Inc., to do it for you.</p>
<p>If you ask an experienced graphic design or marketing professional, he or she will tell you that there are several things that every business card needs to have. They&#8217;ll also tell you that there are many mistakes you should avoid.</p>
<p>When you consider your design, don&#8217;t forget to think about your specific industry. There are some visual elements that may be suitable for one industry but not another. For example, using bright colors to advertise funeral services may not be the best idea. Keep your customers in mind, but also their frame of mind when they seek out your business.</p>
<p>Three Things All Business Cards Should Have:</p>
<p>1. Contact Information<br />
This is the most important information. If your clients can&#8217;t contact you, they can&#8217;t use your unique skill set or services.</p>
<p>2. Company Name<br />
Unless you&#8217;re a freelancer and don&#8217;t have a registered company name, include the business name. Second only to your name, this is the information you want the customer to remember.</p>
<p>3. Visual link to company (logo or icon)<br />
Most long-standing corporations have a logo. Whether it&#8217;s golden arches, mouse ears, or an apple, these organizations have an icon that is simple, easy to remember and readily identifiable with a specific product or service.</p>
<p>Mistakes To Avoid:</p>
<p>1. Plainness<br />
Plain design leaves no lasting impression. Generally speaking, plainness works if the person requires the service and only needs to remember contact info (doctor&#8217;s appointment cards are a good example). For a first impression, you want to be memorable.</p>
<p>2. Poor quality<br />
Cheapness shows. You don&#8217;t want to hand someone a flimsy scrap of paper that&#8217;s unraveling at the edges.</p>
<p>3. Vagueness<br />
Be clear about what you&#8217;re offering potential customers. If they can&#8217;t remember what product or service you offer, they&#8217;re not likely to call you for business.</p>
<p>4. No selling point<br />
Try to create a selling point. It tells people something specific about the service you offer, and can also communicate your experience, service policies or company purpose.</p>
<p>5. Non-standard size<br />
Non-standard sizes are those that don&#8217;t fit into wallets or holders. Because of the usually awkward or unusual size, your card may end in the trash.</p>
<p>6. Illegible print<br />
If the information is too small or doesn&#8217;t have enough contrast, that makes difficult reading or impossible. Your information should be clear and easy to process.</p>
<p>7. Cluttered<br />
Too much information is never a good thing. Too much text can be distracting and look unprofessional or haphazard, all things that can destroy a positive first impression.</p>
<p>8. Poor color choice<br />
Most human beings see in color. A pleasing combination of colors can add to your text and the impressions you make. You want high contrast to make the information easy to read, and color choices that are appropriate to your industry and message.</p>
<p>9. Undistributed<br />
If no one has your information, they can&#8217;t contact you. If you have cards made, be sure to use them. You don&#8217;t need your contact information, your clients do. So, hand them out with confidence, and even add a few extra so your clients can do some networking for you.</p>
<p>Creating a positive company impression can be as easy as easy as a smile and a handshake.  Our <strong><a href="http://www.hhprint.com/servicecenter/products_services.html">graphic design firm, New Orleans</a></strong>, and partnered <strong><a href="http://www.hhprint.com">Metairie printing</a></strong> facilities at H &amp; H Print Service are available as one easy service.</p>
<p>Business cards are one of the easiest ways to share contact and company information with potential or current clients. H &amp; H Print Services can help with planning, design, and <strong>printing</strong>.</p>
