Basic Technology History

Posted on 10/08/202010/08/2020 by PrintArt

Computers:

First Computer Invented:

Most people when they think of the first computer invented they think of Bill Gates. This, however, is not true, for the computer was invented long before Bill Gates was around. Bill Gates only revolutionized the computer, buy creating a more compact and useful form of the computer and making it available to everyone with a job.

There are many people out there who would say that the first “computer” was the abacus, invented in Asia about 5000 years ago. I, however, wouldn’t.

The first of the “modern” computers were invented during World War II, in 1941 by a German engineer named Konrad Zuse. Its name was the Z3 and it was used to help design German airplanes and missiles. Then in 1943, the Allied forces developed a computer called Colossus. It helped decode German messages.

The Mark I, designed by Howard H. Aiken, an engineer working with Harvard and IBM. The Mark I was positively huge, taking up half of a football field. It was useful though and it helped to create ballistic charts for the US Navy during the war.

Shortly after this, came the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), developed by John Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, working with the government and the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC was about 1000 times faster than The Mark I but no smarter.

The Use of transistors meant computers that could store memory and even run programs. Soon after computer languages were invented so that people could change the programs run by the computer. Finally, computer research brought us smaller, more useful computers, and eventually the kinds of computers that we have today.

First Laptops Invented:

Although it is a little hard to determine what the first portable or the laptop computer was, and when it was invented, we can however say that there is more than one claim to laptop fame. There were even signs of laptops dating back as early as 1979. Designed by a Briton, William Moggridge, for use by NASA in the early 1980s. IT was one fifth the weight of any model equivalent in performance and was a 340K byte bubble memory lap-top computer with a die-cast magnesium case and folding electroluminescent graphics display screen.

Since then notebook PC’s released in 1981 lay clam to being the first. It was the Epson HX-20, a battery-powered portable computer, with a 20-character by 4 line LCD display and a built-in printer that started the new widespread desire for these laptop computers.

In January of 1982, Microsoft’s Kazuhiko Nishi and Bill Gates begin discussions on designing a portable computer, based on using a new liquid crystal display or LCD screen. LCD technology in 1982? Yeah, that’s right! Believe it or not, we had the technology to make the LCD TVs and monitors that you’ve seen only recently over 22 years ago. But that’s another story in itself.

First PDAs Invented:

First of all, PDA stands for personal digital assistants in case you didn’t already know. In 1993, Apple Computer Inc. released the very first PDA(personal digital assistants) “The Newton®”. For the next three years, PDA sales dwindled and were almost off the charts. Then, in March 1996, Palm(TM), Inc. delivered the industry’s first truly compelling handheld computer, the PalmPilot. Today there are too many PDA companies and products to even bother mentioning.

Some Things You Can Do On A PDA:

Get a Wireless Connection
Surf the Web

Home Entertainment Technology:

Home Entertainment really is just a collaboration of all our entertainment technologies into a package that surely will not disappoint us. Home entertainment systems have many different parts that together give us the feeling of being at the movies.

Plasma TV
LCD Panel TV
DLP Rear Projection TV
Video Projectors
Surround Sound Audio Systems
Speakers
DVD / CD / VCR Players
Accessories and Furniture
Satellite Television
Media Center HTPCs

First Television Invented:

The first signs of a tele date back to 1862 when Abbe Giovanna Caselli invents his “pantelegraph” and becomes the first person to transmit a still image over wires. In 1900, at the World’s Fair in Paris, the 1st International Congress of Electricity was held, where Russian, Constantin Perskyi made the first known use of the word “television.” In 1930 Charles Jenkins broadcasts the first TV commercial. The BBC begins regular TV transmissions.

Then throughout the years, the inventions came one after another. In 1950 the FCC approves the first color television standard which is replaced by a second in 1953. Vladimir Zworykin developed a better camera tube – the Vidicon. In 1956 Robert Adler invents the first practical remote control. In 1973 giant screen projection TVs are first marketed. Followed by Sony’s release of the first home video cassette recorder in 1976. By the time 1996 came around, there were a billion TV sets worldwide.

First DVD/Player Invented:

We can only assume the transition over from cd’s and cd players over to DVDs and DVD players weren’t that hard. The technology was already there for them. So the DVD player was surely invented before or right after the DVD was invented. DVDs are the work of many companies and many people. The DVD evolved from CD and related technologies. Companies such as Sony, Philips, Toshiba, Matsushita, Time Warner, and others announced the new “high density” DVD in September of 1995.

Getting Your Hypnotic Sales Pitch Under Control

Posted on 10/06/202010/06/2020 by PrintArt

Getting a sale is not an easy task and most people who have some amount of experience with sales are quite aware of that.

When a salesperson prepares his or her pitch, there are so many factors to be taken into consideration including what should be avoided so as to not turn the potential client off. There is, of course, no way of reading your client’s mind, but there are certain things that you can be pretty sure no one would like, especially those who might be spending money on your product.

Perhaps the main thing when it comes to sales is the point that closing the sale is not only about the product you are selling. A large part of the client’s decision to accept or reject the product can depend on how you conduct yourself. If you are amicable, confident, and knowledgeable they could warm to you and your product but if they do not like you as a person, their reaction to you could extend to what they feel about the product.

For example, being late for an appointment (especially when you trying to sell something to a client) is an absolute faux pas. But you would be surprised at how many people go late to sales appointments, whatever the reason for that might be. As a salesperson, if you assume that you can get away with such misdemeanors, you are being extremely naïve. For starters, be aware of the fact that most people are quick with first impressions and these impressions usually last.

Once they have already had a negative impression about you for making them wait, they might not be too open about listening to what you have to say about the product you have on offer. From your point of view, they might just have been waiting five minutes or ten, but keep in mind that almost everyone is running on a tight schedule and, after all, time is money.

To close a sale, a salesperson had to be confident about him/herself and also the product they are offering. Part of your job as a salesperson is to convey to the client that your product is the solution to a certain problem that they have. But there is a very thin line between confidence and overconfidence. If you walk into a sales meeting acting and talking overly self-confidently it could very well be a turn-off. Your clients do not want to be treated as simpletons who do not know what is good for their business. You want to identify a need for them in their business setup and offer them a solution, and not talk to them as if they are too slow to know any better.

You want to make sure than when you are presenting your pitch you do not come across as being arrogant. Clients especially dislike having to speak with salespeople who treat them with disdain and superiority. If that is the case, even if the client needs the product you are offering, it is very possible that they might choose to get a similar product from somewhere else.

The same goes for aggressiveness. There are many salespeople who believe that pushing the product forcefully can lead to a sale but that is a delicate path to tread. This might work once in a while for you, but more often than not, clients get uncomfortable when you assertively try to push a product onto them.

Clients like to make their own decision and you are there to offer them options, not to force decisions on to them. Bear in mind that your clients are usually well aware of the workings of their business and industry norms, and being as knowledgeable as they are they will probably not digest everything you say without questions.

Part of the problem lies in the fact that many salespeople do not get proper training into the do’s and don’ts of a sales pitch so they might go about doing things in any way as long as they can close the deal. A salesperson that is not properly trained in sales might not realize the importance of customizing the sales pitch for different clients, body language, or the various other matters that impact sales.

Carrying out a good sales pitch and closing the deal is nothing short of an art and it is most definitely not something everyone can handle naturally. If you are a manager, make sure the salespeople you are sending out into the field are those who understand the nature of sales and clients and deal with them accordingly. Knowing the ways of keeping your sales pitch under control is one of the first steps to closing a sale.

Hopefully, this has shed a little light on your sales pitch and the advantages of PrintArt. It can be a fairly complex process but don’t feel overwhelmed, reach out to PrintArt today, and explain your needs. Their customer service department will put together a cost-effective quote and help your vision come to reality!

Why Go For Quality Commercial Printing

Posted on 10/01/2020 by PrintArt

If you are in any business then you should have some type of ongoing advertising program to be competitive with other businesses that most likely have one. Quality printed advertising media is one of the best forms of advertising that you can use in terms of producing actual results when factored against your money spent.

This means also that you are going to have to come to some sort of decision regarding the quality of the material that you are going to finally end up with. If, for instance, you are throwing a free “kegger” party with your friends and all you need is twenty or so ad sheets to staple to telephone poles around your college campus, then a simple copy machine in the library will do.

However; if you have serious plans on producing commercial results from your efforts then you would be well advised to find a qualified commercial print shop, like PrintArt in McKinney Texas, to produce your material for a number of reasons.

To begin with, PrintArt will have more options available with regards to designing and producing the material that in the end is going to represent your business interest to the public. The fact is, that anything worth doing is worth doing right, and cutting corners will most likely end up costing you in the end.

People are going to prejudge you and whatever it is that is being promoted on your printed material, like it or not and that means that you should always do your best to put your best foot forward when having anything printed up.

This means that the best way to have the best quality print media produced is through a qualified commercial print shop. It is important to bear in mind that a qualified commercial print shop is going to do their best because what they produce reflects directly on them also.

Hopefully, this has shed a little light on the advantages of PrintArt. It can be a fairly complex process but don’t feel overwhelmed, reach out to PrintArt today, and explain your needs. Their customer service department will put together a cost-effective quote and help your vision come to reality!

Sales Philosophy – What You Believe Determines How Well You Sell

Posted on 09/29/202009/29/2020 by PrintArt

I have a simple sales philosophy: provide value first and make a friend at all costs. Now, what’s YOURS? Do you believe every word of it? You should if you want to be a great salesperson.

EVERY salesperson should have a sales philosophy that they firmly believe in.

It represents your values and defines who you are as a company and as a salesperson. It also affects how you approach your customers and how effective you are at making the sale. “I think I already have a sales philosophy…” You may think you have a good sales philosophy, but chances are it needs improvement. Does it accurately represent YOU? Is it as effective as you think it is? In reality, you probably fall into one of these two categories: A. You’ve been trained to follow some silly, scripted sales process you barely believe in, and may even hate. B. You’ve been in sales for what you consider to be a long time and have your “own way” of selling.

A: The Scripted Sales Philosophy

This usually happens to the newest of salespeople. They join the team, get a few scripts, and are told to “go get ’em!” Let them get their teeth kicked in a few times, they’ll learn. Is that really the best way to train someone in sales? Well, there is something to be said for failing your way to success, but you’re disheartening and devaluing your recent sales investment-your new hires. There are very few times when a verbatim script will actively engage another human being, whether it’s a cold call over the phone or in person. People buy from people, not a phony sales script. When your sales philosophy, or the one you are forced to swallow, doesn’t match what you believe deep in your heart, you will NOT be a successful salesperson.

B: The Dated Sales Philosophy

So, you’ve been in sales for a long time and have grown accustomed to your own way of doing things, but is your method still working? Or has it gathered dust and lost its meaning, edge, and effectiveness? Maybe you’re stuck in your habits, or perhaps you’re anxious about trying something completely new. Whatever your reason for sticking with this method, it’s time to realize that this reality won’t bring you the sales results that you want. Your numbers could be better if you let go of your excuses and old ways. Start with a new sales philosophy!

How do I develop a sales philosophy?

The key to developing a great sales philosophy depends on you and your individual values. The most important thing about is that you make sure it is completely YOURS. First, however, you must identify your company’s unique sales philosophy: what it wants its customers to think about the company, the products, and the people. Then you need to consider what YOUR personal sales philosophy is. What YOU want your customers to think about you, the products you have chosen to represent, and the company you have chosen to work for. There will often be some discrepancies between these two philosophies, but learning to work your own personal sales philosophy within your company is the key to success. Using a sales philosophy that is not in line with your own values will only leave you frustrated with lackluster results.

So stop using trained scripts and old habits that no longer represent you and what you have to offer as a salesperson! Identifying your unique sales philosophy and harnessing the power of its authenticity will give you the enthusiasm to achieve the results you desire!

Your customers will see your self-confidence and trust coming to you for their needs. If you truly believe in your sales philosophy, your company, and your product, they will, too!

Commercial Printing – 5 Thing to Consider

Posted on 09/21/202009/21/2020 by PrintArt

When you have a project that needs a professional printer, there are a lot of things to consider. First off finding the right one is the most important thing. PrintArt – Accurate Die Printing should be on the top of your list, but here are five items to consider when looking for that perfect printer!

1. You are not a printer

Your strengths lie in your expertise. If you are a florist, then flowers are your strong suit. Why waste your valuable time on tasks that have nothing to do with your business. By going to a commercial printer, you no longer have to worry are about how just how much.

2. Saves Money

Yes, just like buying from the bulk supply stores, commercial printers usually can save you money, because they deal with large quantities of printing. They can get print supplies at a better deal then you can, and thus can do the job for less than it would cost you. True, you might be able to beat their price if you spend your time and do it your self, but how much was that time worth? How much could you have earned if you had invested that time in your business?

3. They will do a better job

Commercial printers do this for a living, so they know what problems might arise and how to take care of them. Most have design studios that will even assist in design improvements.

4. Direct Delivery

Most commercial printing will deliver directly to you or your clients’ locations. There is nothing quite like have a difficult job done well and delivered to your door.

5. Better options

Since printing is how they pay the rent, a Commercial printer will have a wide variety of printing options. Would you like it to be printed on plastic? How about metal? What about a leaf on the inside to hold promotional material?

Commercial Printing Services And The Advantages They Bring

Posted on 09/21/202009/21/2020 by PrintArt

Every marketing campaign you can think of is incomplete without the help of a commercial printing services provider. This is because products or services are best advertised still in customized prints despite the many marketing options offered online.

You might get the impression that brochures, flyers, posters, and sample boards are the only materials categorized under this kind of printing. But if you will study it carefully, there are other things included in it. These are business cards, calendars, envelopes, folders, letterheads, notepads, and planners. Apart from brand recognition, they cultivate loyalty to the company and rapport among the recipient employees.

There are standards that have to be followed when creating marketing materials such as these. The good thing is you need not do everything on your own. Just hire a reliable commercial printing services company to do the task. How do you? First, check out PrintArt in McKinney Texas. Do personal research online to get a clear evaluation of the performance of your prospective companies. Once you have chosen the company to work with, communicate clearly your objectives, your desired output, and the budget you have at hand. Be open to suggestions from your service provider as it may know how your plans can be executed in a better way. For one, its presence in the field for many years is a big proof of the quality work it is famed for.

Again, the benefits offered by commercial printing companies help varied types of businesses. You might be surprised that businesses that appear unlikely to benefit from them actually benefit from them. Firms in manufacturing, publishing, architecture, and interior design are a few of them. Manufacturers, for one, need to get helped on introducing the latest products they have. Their target market gets to know important information on the features, price, proper use, and maintenance of the products through written literature like brochures and leaflets.

The publishing industry would not be able to distribute books, magazines, and other printed materials without the help of these firms. We all know that images especially colored ones require special printing interventions which only experts can provide. In the same way, the production of a great number of books would also be impossible.

Now, how does commercial printing help with the creation of a superb interior design of architectural structures? With the advancements in technology, interior walls can now be patterned with ease in accordance with the intricacies that certain theme demands. Wallpapers can be created following the template displayed on the computer screen. Perhaps, you want your company logo big and wide on the wall. It can be done through this kind of printing.

Lastly, entertainment or show business also benefit from commercial printing services big time. Promotional stuff like posters, tarpaulins, and billboards are all customized to match the theme of the movie or show they advertise. Imagine, say, a billboard of plain text – just the title of the movie. Do you think people will be intrigued to watch it?

How To Choose The Best Commercial Printing Company

Posted on 09/21/202009/21/2020 by PrintArt

When you have a big printing project that needs to be done in the highest quality possible, and within a specified deadline, you need the services of a reliable commercial printing company like PrintArt here in McKinney Texas. But what if this is your first time to source out such services? How can you select among the dozens of companies you find on the web?

You do not simply hire the first printing company that you encounter or contact, you should have a more stringent selection process. Or at least a list of the factors or traits that you want from a printer.

Here is a shortlist that you can use to help you select the best commercial printing company for your project.

1. It has a 7 Stage Quality Process.

Some printing companies only have less than seven points on the quality control process. A complete quality check procedure from the acceptance of the project to the print production stage up to the packing and shipping stage will ensure that you will get the highest quality of printing services possible.

2. Economical printing services.

This can be made even more available if your printer is larger than most others. The larger a printing firm, the more business they do and then in turn the better their prices can be on smaller projects. The quality of the print product remains the same and will not be affected. It is just the cost of the production that will change.

3. In-house design team.

There are times that what you only have is the idea or the copy for your printing project, but not the design or layout aspect of it. This is where an in-house design team of your printing company can come in handy. You can rely on them to create the best possible design for you. And it is often more cost-efficient than if you would hire a separate design artist.

4. Gives you expert printing advice.

Especially if this is your first print outsourcing job, then a lot of the industry terms and standards would definitely be totally new to you. You would probably have no clue as to what paper size or paper stock you need, what color printing services are best for your project, or how you can save more by choosing a certain service or procedure. Your printer should be able to provide you with expert advice on all the aspects of the printing process, and should also be able to help you get your money’s worth.

5. Provides project management services.

A reliable commercial printing company should provide you with a project management service to ensure that your printing requirements are met from the quality of the materials to be used to the actual packing and delivery to your office of the finished products. This kind of service starts when you first contact the printer and they would give you the advice and suggestions on how to go about your project. They may offer design and other related services to ensure the quality of your project, and install the product (if it is for advertising purposes) or deliver it to any destination of your choice.

Hopefully, this has shed a little light on how To choose the best commercial printing company. It can be a fairly complex process but don’t feel overwhelmed, reach out to PrintArt today, and explain your needs. Their customer service department will put together a cost-effective quote and help your vision come to reality!

Commercial Printing – The 10 Responsibilities of a Printing Customer

Posted on 09/21/202009/21/2020 by PrintArt

What exactly must a customer/client do to ensure the print file is processed accurately? Well, here are some suggestions on how you can go about it. Remember these pointers and ideas so you can very well know what to expect and do the next time around.

1. The client must bear in mind that the file needs to meet the minimum requirements imposed by the printing company. This includes that the file has sufficient bleeds, that is in CMYK, and that the resolution is at least 300 dpi for images and 400 dpi for fonts.

2. The files should come complete with the original images used, also in CMYK, and that the fonts are to be embedded in the file. The fonts should also be sent in, especially if these are not as common as the Arial or Times New Roman font.

3. It is useful to have the files you will be sending in the Zip file. However, it is much better if they are to be in a PDF format as well.

4. You should always include details on your printing project and never assume that a printer already knows everything about your file unless it is a repeat order. Custom print jobs require a much detailed account too of your designs.

5. It is safer to inquire about the final printing cost of your project. Printing quotes are approximations but may change if you have acquired added services or put in last-minute changes. Ask whether your printing cost involves sales tax, handling fees, and the like.

6. If you don’t know much about custom printing, demand to know how the printing company is going to shape your design. What are the processes or risks involved? Know too when or how long your custom printing will project last or be finished.

7. Open up your communication lines. Regularly check your mail and voice mailbox. Printing companies will inform you of updates on your printing transactions, will involve if your printing quotes are available or if your proofs have been sent are awaiting approval.

8. Always check your proofs. Read everything and scrutinize every detail. If you approve it without correcting your own typographical errors, you end up losing the chance to a flawless print job.

9. It also doesn’t help to check the status of your print job. Using the job management portal or if the printing company you chose doesn’t have one, call them up. Ask at which stage your file is going through if it has been ganged, printed, or undergoing cutting and others. This allows you to see if it’ll be shipped on time, among others.

10. Always consider the printing expert’s advice. If the file resolution is too low, you can jeopardize running a blurry print. If the thickness of the line to be embossed is less than 1pt, it may not be as effective and could ruin the print. Weigh in what the professionals are telling you instead of stubbornly saying that things must be done your way.

You can literally forget about your printing project if and when the file you have submitted is well-prepared and required no changes. All you need to do is approve the proof and wait for it to be sent your way.

However, checking on the status of your print job tells the commercial printing company that you expect nothing less. Besides, it is normal to do this especially if you have told them beforehand that you are running after a deadline, especially if it is a rush order print job.

Make sure you get what you need. Print with a reliable commercial printing company and you’re sure to enjoy the rewards of a fruitful partnership.

Hopefully, this has shed a little light on your responsibilities. It can be a fairly complex process but don’t feel overwhelmed, reach out to PrintArt today, and explain your needs. Their customer service department will put together a cost-effective quote and help your vision come to reality!

What is the world’s smallest book?

The Guinness World Book of Records lists Shiki no Kusabana as the smallest book in the world. It is a 22-page Japanese book about the flowers of the four seasons, and its dimensions are only 0.0291 x 0.0295 inches. This is only slightly larger than the eye of a needle.
