Welcome to 2012!

As we turn the page on another year gone by what are you looking forward to in 2012?  I think an improved economy is at the top of all our lists.  We’ve all made it this far and I’m confident that better times are ahead.  I have high hopes for 2012.  I’m looking forward to a prosperous and abundant year both in business and personally.  There’s no value in negative thoughts and when they come, and they will, I’m turning them out and replacing them with optimistic thoughts for the new year.  Let’s look at some of the positive facts for the coming year.  Unemployment decreased to 8.5 % in December 2011, albeit a small decrease, it is still a decrease.  CEO confidence increased from 42 to 49 in the last quarter of 2011 and consumer confidence increased to 64.5 in December 2011.

Positive thoughts and a positive outlook lead to more positive thoughts and an increasingly better outlook.  Perception is everything.  We all can make a difference in our own little piece of the world (customers, employees, vendors, family and friends) and I am planning to spread a positive outlook and exuberant attitude in my piece of the world.  What are you planning to spread in your little piece of the world?  Vivaciousness is catchy.  Why not try it for a while and observe the results.

Do the recent price increases for offset printing supplies have you taking another look at CtP? If not, maybe you should.  If you haven’t invested in CtP yet then it may be time to take another look.  For many small shops the payoff just hasn’t been there.  It just didn’t make sense to invest tens of thousands of dollars in a new platesetter (and it still might not).  But with the increased prices for imagesetting film, plates, chemistry, etc. the return on investment for CtP might look a little more attractive.  Of course it’s different for everyone, but it’s worth taking another look at the numbers just to be sure.

If you’re evaluating your options be sure to take a look at the Kimosetter 410.  It offers everything you need for simple and affordable CtP.  The Kimosetter 410 is the roughly the same size as a desktop printer, it gives exceptional image quality and doesn’t require any chemicals.  You can realize the benefits of CtP and “go green” at the same time.  We offer an exceptional price on a complete bundled package, it provides everything you need to get started with the Kimosetter 410.  If you would like to find out more just give us a call at 866-895-4413 between 8:30am and 4:00pm Eastern Time.

Have you recently received a price increase for your imagesetter film, chemistry or printing plates?  If not, your supplier will be increasing prices soon.  It’s a perfect storm, so to speak.  The increased demand for the raw materials in these products has resulted in widespread price increases for imagesetting film, printing plates and processing chemicals.  Some manufacturers have already raised their prices and for others the increase is coming.  Here at Peerless we have already increased our prices.  Fortunately, we maintain low overhead, and high enough volume, to maintain prices lower than our competitors.  If you have received a price increase for any of your offset supplies including printing plates, imagesetting film, or chemistry, and are looking for ways to keep your costs down then give us a call.  We will be glad to help you and we will not be undersold.  Call and speak with one of our friendly staff today and find out what we can do for you.  Even the call is free:  866-895-4413.

We recently became a member of the Printing Industries of Ohio and N. Kentucky.  We are pleased to be a part of this organization and look forward to not only taking advantage of the many benefits provided by PIANKO, but also doing our part in contributing to further the goals of the association as well as the printing industry in general.  Last week we had the privilege of attending the Printing Week Celebration at Windows On The River in Cleveland, OH and observing the presentation of the Print Excellence Awards.  We dined on some excellent hors d’oeuvres while casting our votes for the People’s Choice award.  We would like to congratulate the folks at the Forest Corporation for receiving this award for the Northern Region.  We have already met some really nice people through our membership in the Printing Industries of Ohio and N. Kentucky and look forward to meeting many more of the members.
