    Click here for access to download the latest issue.

    This your latest edition of CPrintips™, the monthly newsletter service whose content is exclusively printing and printing-related topics. The purpose of limiting the content is twofold: to showcase your expertise as a printing professional, and to provide information that will help your customers understand the print production process so they will cooperate with your production standards.

    CPrintips™ is a special version of our Printips newsletter. It is formatted in Adobe InDesign CS2 for Mac and PC to print in full color, and it includes a message from the general manager/sales manager to serve as a call to action. You will need to personalize each issue in two ways:

    ·        Add your company’s logo, contact information, GM/SM photo and indicia on pages 1, 2 and 4

    ·        Look for opportunities to add your company’s information within the body of the newsletter. The opportunities are marked with bold italics and brackets (< >).

    Those of you who are currently Printips subscribers will continue to receive a notification regarding the availability of Printips, as well as the notification that CPrintips™ is available for download, until your current Printips subscription expires. If you decide you want to switch from Printips to CPrintips™ immediately, you can e-mail nancy@printips.com and use Switch to CPrintips™ in the subject line. Converting now means that we won’t bother you with renewal notices.

    Current Printips subscribers who have developed their own custom design template and wish to keep that instead of switching to the CPrintips™ design must have the custom design template approved. Send a PDF to approval@cprint.org for design approval. While you are waiting for approval, you can continue to use Printips.

    Within the body of the newsletter, we provide opportunities for you to personalize your issue of CPrintips™. The opportunities are marked with bold italics and brackets (< >). Please alert your prepress technician of the need to make these changes.

    We welcome your comments on CPrintips™ and invite you to submit your ideas for topics. If your CSRs are repeatedly answering the same questions about preparing files for submission, you may have a CPrintips™ topic. If there is something you want your customers to know, that could be a CPrintips™ topic. Send comments and ideas to nancy@printips.com.
