Now the client wants to cover up some text information with a label (as opposed replacing several hundred binders), however, their professional image must be maintained. We are looking for a label manufacturer who can supply either a metallic or foil embossed label approximately 6" wide by 1 1/2" deep. The binders are pulled from library shelves quite often, therefore wear and tear and abuse are a concern. Any options or other ideas would be appreciated." You can contact Roger at rogerbuck@terraworld.net CraftNet Updates If you haven't been surfing by the IAPHC website CraftNet at http://www.iaphc.org we encourage you to go take a peek. We are especially proud of the International Gallery of Superb Printing Best of the Best section honoring the 11 winners of the Best of the Best awards in the 1998 International Gallery and the 11 world class named award sponsor firms. Enjoy International Printing Week! We hope that all our members will take time to celebrate their art, their craft and their science next week January 17-23, 1999 as we mark the 55th observance of International Printing Week. If you get a moment to drop us an e-note as to what you did to toast our profession, it would be appreciated. That's All Folks Yours in Craftsmanship, Kevin Keane IAPHC Minneapolis Minnesota
