Although the primary purpose of Reprographics 101 (i.e., this blog-site) is to express my opinions and thoughts about what’s going on in the reprographics industry (and in the A/E/C industry that reprographers primarily serve), I do invite other reprographers (and reprographics industry vendors) to submit articles that they feel are relevant to the subject matter…

I am currently at the IRGA (International ReproGraphics Association) Convention in Palm Springs, CA.

Today, one of my industry colleagues brought this deal to my attention, so I thought it would be appropriate to bring this deal to the attention of my blog-site visitors. About New York Inc (NYinc),…

A couple of weeks ago, I took a stab (SWAG method) at estimating ARC’s Q1 2010 results.
