  • After doing a post about “builditlive.com” (the most recent previous post on my blog), I found and visited the web-site of “velasystems.com”. You might find it interesting to read the bio’s of the members of Vela System’s “management team”. Vela Systems says this on one of the pages on its web-site: As mobile technology growth…

  • This morning, the former CTO of my ex-company, suggested that I visit the site of a blogger who authored an article, last year, titled “the end of blueprints”. I did visit that blog and read the article. But, I did not find the article compelling, so I’m not going to suggest that you visit that…

  • On December 22nd, I did a “first post” about Florida Reprographics filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, so this post, today, is simply a follow-up post. Years ago, when there was a legal controversy surrounding the demise (Chapter 7 Bankruptcy) of the Louis Frey Company, a long-time, large reprographer based in NYC, and one of the…

In previous blog-posts about “movers and shakers” in the U.S. reprographics industry, I’ve mentioned American Reprographics (ARC), Thomas Reprographics, ABC Imaging, Lynn Imaging, C2 Reprographics, Service Point, National Reprographics (NRI) and several others, but, somehow, the growth of Gill Reprographics (GRI) managed…

  • Drawing from an article on December 21, 2010 in the Miami Herald by reporter Douglas Hanks…. Miami, FL Office Space Reportedly 25% Vacant! 600,000 sq ft, 47 story, I.M. Pei-designed “Miami Tower” recently sold for $106 million to Chicago investors. That works out to a price of around $175.00 per sq ft. By comparison, In…

  • This blog is devoted to articles and information about the Reprographics Industry. Although Reprographers do generate revenues from providing “digital” services, such as document management services (including PlanRooms), Reprographers generate most of their revenues from “printing” documents. Without revenues from “printing” documents, what would Reprographers do, and what would that mean for the future of…

  • AIA ABI Index for November 2010 is above 50, again. That makes it two months out of three – (September AIA ABI Index was above 50 – October AIA ABI Index was below 50 – November AIA ABI Index is above 50.) The post on the AIA’s web-site is located at this Internet address:http://www.aia.org/practicing/AIAB086702…and I…

  • One of the funniest comments I’ve ever heard anyone make about a transition in management! Okay, let me admit that what’s funny to me is not funny to most, but I think that’s simply because I have a very weird sense of humor. (Remember, my ATF comedian is Lewis Black; that should tell you something…

  • I heard from a friend this morning that ABC Imaging is planning to commence operations in Shanghai in the near future.
