A good sign of the times?<br />
We had friend of D&K and immensely talented videographer, Brandon Lied of <a href="http://www.steelrockfilms.com/">Steel Rock Films</a>, by the office to film a day in our life. Here is what he came up with. Enjoy.<br />

</div>Cactus' Bike From Work Bash was a huge success, hosting +1,200 attendees and raising more than $1,200 for Bike Denver. Free beer was provided by MolsonCoors and Illegal Pete's offered up some delicious burritos. Fun was has by all.

COMMON is Alex and Ana Bogusky's newest undertaking with the goal of building "a creative community for rapidly prototyping social ventures. All done under a unified and collaborative brand." Those are some big words that basically mean that COMMON is a group of people who want to use creativity for good. COMMON Pitch is an event where people present their ideas for social good....while enjoying some libations and good music. You can learn more about COMMON <a href="http://www.common.is/">here</a>.

</div>Next up, on September 23, is the Art Directors Club Denver (ADCD) Annual Show. The event honors the best creative work produced in Colorado over the past year. With more than 40 different winners in 15 different categories, there will be some amazing work on display during the ceremony at the Denver Art Museum. You can learn more about ADCD <a href="http://adcd.com/">here</a>. You can buy tickets to the event <a href="http://adcdawardshow.com/">here</a>.<br />
Also, ADCD is still looking for sponsors for the show. Check out the great opportunities <a href="http://adcdnews.com/index.cfm?PID=1367&ID=7823,24588,32993&S=ijssriuoq">here</a>.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Last but not least, we're getting stoked for AIGA's Bordo Bello. This year's event will include +225 original works off art from local and national artists. But there is a catch. Each piece of art uses a skate deck as the canvas. All of the proceeds go to AIGA Colorado's mentorship programs. You can learn more Bordo Bello <a href="http://www.bordobello.com/">here</a>.

A few days later, this showed up in the mail. Who doesn't love receiving a hand-written thank you note. It is pretty awesome that a company as large as Land's End would take the time to do this for its customers. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!<br />

That's why it's no surprise that the anticipation for St. Paddy's Day is starting to near a fever pitch around the shop. This season we're handing out some Irish goodness to our friends and colleagues in the form of Irish libations and letterpress-printed coasters printed here at D&K.<br />

The MC (Naughty Pierre from Lannie's Clock Tower Cabaret) was hilarious, the trophies were beautiful, the crowd was great and the work was inspiring. We were honored to be presented with the bronze medal in Print Excellence for a book we collaborated on with our good friend Keith Harley from Communication Arts, Inc.<br />
While we are very proud of the recognition we received for our work with Comm Arts, there is one aspect of this year's show that we are even more pleased about. D&K printed more of the award winning pieces in this year's show than any other printer. The award winning pieces include Comm Arts' Vail Valley Medical Center Yearly Community Report, Motive's Native Eyewear Catalog and Vermilion's Pilatus Vantage Point Brochure.<br />
That has me thinking about what D&K means to our clients and what we want our role to be in the Colorado marketplace.<br />
Over the past 45 years, while newer technologies and machinery have focused on making printing quicker and cheaper, D&K has only invested in that which can do so without sacrificing an iota of our most valued principle: quality.<br />
This commitment has earned us a reputation in our industry and we believe that the facts speak for themselves. In 2010, when artists looked for a printer to team up with for their high-end projects (soon to be ADCD award winning work), more people chose D&K than any other printer.<br />
<br />
We want to thank everyone for putting their trust and faith in D&K. We understand how much you invest in your projects and we don't take lightly the responsibility that we take on as your chosen printer.<br />

Ski season is just around the corner. Time to renew my ski pass, hit up Sniagrab and start buddying up to my friend's with places in the mountains.<br />
But now the true sign that ski season is upon us: Warren Miller Entertainment has released the movie trailer for their 61st installment. We at D&K have been fortunate to print for Warren Miller for the past several years and around our shop Warren Miller season is in full swing.<br />
We can't wait to see the new flick "Wintervention" when it hits town...<br />

We added equipment, capabilities, staff and produced some amazing work.<br />
Here is an update of what we were up to last month. A big thanks goes out to all that made it happen.<br />

<li> We hired a new Customer Service Representative, Jim Crewdson, a former employee of L&M Pressworks (which was seized by the government in June) and a new head pressman for our 40” 4-color press.</li>
<li> We increased our map producing capabilities by purchasing a 40” map folder. Giving us the capability to fold 40” wide sheets down to a size that will fit in your pocket.</li>
<li> After experimenting with new technologies in ink and vinyl substrates, we have added vinyl printing to our skill set.</li>
<li> The purchase of an automated wire-o machine will make the production of wire-o bound books faster and cheaper.</li>
</ul>When we count our blessings at D&K, there is much to be grateful for. While, in this economy, our staff is smaller than it used to be, the talent of our group is at record highs. The quality of the work we have been producing is among the best in Colorado and we would gladly compare it to that of our competitors.<br />
From business cards to annual reports to posters to brochures, we continue to make your projects look better and provide unmatched service along the way.<br />
<br />
Now is a pivotal time for D&K and for the printing industry. We want to make sure that you all know that its times like these when we shine. We are eager for an opportunity to prove to all of our great customers and the great companies that don’t use us yet, that D&K is still producing great work after more than 45 years in Boulder. And our eagerness and ability to provide excellent printing is as strong as ever. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><br />

</div><div><ol style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 3px;"><li style="line-height: 16px; margin-top: 5px;">Give your printer as much detail as you can, as early as you can.<div class="pli" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 1px;">You need to provide very detailed job specs (specifications) if you want a fair estimate. It will help prevent "surprises" when the job is done (I'm using air quotes in this sentence). Remember, every print job is unique. It's built spec by spec.</div></li>
<li style="line-height: 16px; margin-top: 5px;">Tell your printer how you prefer to be communicated with.<div class="pli" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 1px;">Ideally, your printer will ask you, but if not, be clear about how often he or she should be in touch with you during production, and by what means. Some people prefer phone calls; others, email.</div></li>
<li style="line-height: 16px; margin-top: 5px;">Do everything in writing.<div class="pli" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 1px;">Job specs change during the production cycle (quantities & delivery instructions, for example), and you need to keep track. Changes can affect your price. Paper trails (or email trails) are critical.</div></li>
<li style="line-height: 16px; margin-top: 5px;">Admit what you don't understand, and seek a clearer explanation from your printer.<div class="pli" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 1px;">I never understand people who are too proud to speak up and say, "I have no idea what that means," when they hear a too-technical explanation. Printing has a language all its own. If anything is unclear about what's happening with your job, just say so.</div></li>
<li style="line-height: 16px; margin-top: 5px;">Make your priorities crystal clear.<div class="pli" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 1px;">Different jobs have different priorities. Is it the delivery date? The quality? The cost? Out with it! Again, your printer should ask you, but if not, make sure you bring it up.</div></li>
<li style="line-height: 16px; margin-top: 5px;">Ask your printer for input & creative suggestions.<div class="pli" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 1px;">You may know exactly what you want and why, but perhaps you don't. It's extremely smart business to ask your printer for ideas. Maybe there's a better way (more creative, more cost effective, quicker, "greener," and so on) to produce what you want. Maybe a different paper would work better. In my mind, this is where the real value of a printing company lies: in how they assist in getting you the best product possible, to match your budget and your expectations. Get your printers involved, as opposed to merely giving them "job orders."</div></li>
