By Kevin Keane, IAPHC CEO International Printing Week, January 16-22, 2000. Dr. John Leininger, of Clemson University, and our tireless International Printing Week Chair reports that he has shipped quantities of the International Printing Week poster to all Craftsmen Clubs and has also now received the proclamations from Canadian Prime Minister Chretien and President Bill Clinton. Both proclamations will shortly be posted on Craftnet for easy downloading. Platinum Reserve Fund Our deepest thanks for the kind generosity of the Syracuse Club which contributed $250 in memory of Nolan Keane. Condolences Many of our Tenth District members received word about the tragic death at age 23 of Daniel Belanger, son of Tenth District Governor Norm Belanger. Many other members are familiar with Norm's hard work in the development of CraftNet and the production of the IAPHC Communicator. The entire Association extends sympathy to Norm and his family, and hope they may find comfort in the concern of so many friends. The Power of TMN (by Ray Lauria, Mid-Hudson Graphics Arts Association president) "Last month, I was in a customer's printing firm discussing all the mergers and acquisitions taking place in our industry. My customer had taken special interest in all the acquisitions being made by Cunningham Graphics International. He was surprised of my knowledge about some of their recent acquisitions. I explained to him about the power of the IAPHC, and The Knowledge Network of Y'KNOW, along with TMN. Well to make a long story short, he was inducted as a member of our Club that same evening. How's that for a testimonial as to the value of belonging to the IAPHC? Please welcome new member Mitch Schilkraut of JAM Printing." TMN Testimonials Not long ago, someone asked us what kind of reaction TMN receives. As we are impassioned believers in the power of testimonial marketing, it is nice to be able to report that TMN continues to receive a nice reception all over the world. Here's a five pack from the past five weeks. "Thank you for TMN, I find it very insightful and usually share it with other editors here." Katherine O'Brien, Editor, American Printer magazine. "This newsletter is the most comprehensive industry summary I have seen to date, both in style and content, and I would consider it the Wall Street Journal of printing news." Steve Davidson, Director of Sales, Graytor Printing, New Jersey. "I find the information really useful to our business over here." Niall Byrne, Prontaprint, England. "It is an absolute delight to read. It certainly keeps me abreast of industry developments. I also find it useful in making presentations to my customers when I want to cite an authoritative source." Mike Bullington, Sacramento, California. "I know you as someone from whom I receive witty, succinct and informative industry news." Stephanie Robinson, Xerox Canada in Calgary, Alberta. Y'KNOW Requests Your Knowledge Network Obviously Works (Y'KNOW?) - From Ray Lauria of the Mid-Hudson Club: "I have a client and prospective member looking to find a 26" used 4 color Komori or Heidelberg press. Any sellers can contact me, Ray Lauria at RPL54@aol.com and I'll pass them along to my client." - From Ron Taggart of the Akron Club: "We are looking to automate our twin loop (Wire-O) binding operations. Currently we are looking at Rilecart and Renz closers, and Renz, Sterling and Kugler punches. Anyone with any experience on these machines -- your input would be greatly appreciated. All replies will receive a handy set of spreadsheet estimating tools." You can contact Ron via e-mail at ron@printingconcepts.com A blind request from a member in the Third District: "We are looking to investigate the major considerations or processes to successfully print on foil/metalized board. Any replies can be sent to printjeff@aol.com" - From Cheryl Adams of the Erie Club: "I need to find out more about rules and requirements for publishing a newspaper, things like disclosure statements, etc. I haven't had a problem for these past 14 years but apparently I am starting to get under some local papers skin. I would also like to get a price for printing, the specs are: inside pages are plain 20# white, with 5 breaker pages on card stock, 300 copies, 350 double sided pages, 15 single sided pages, wrap around cover and perfect bound.
