🖨️ Printing Fun Fact of the Day

Did you know the phrase “hot off the press” is literally true?

Before digital printing, newspapers, magazines, and books were often printed at such high speeds that freshly printed pages would still be warm when they came off the press.

The heat came from the printing process itself, including friction from the machinery and the drying systems used on large commercial presses.

Because the newest information was found on these freshly printed pages, the phrase “hot off the press” became a popular way to describe breaking news or brand-new information.

🔥 Even today, we still use a printing term whenever we hear about the latest news!

đź’¬ What printing-related phrase do you use without realizing it came from the print industry?

🖨️ Printing Fun Fact of the Day

Did you know that the term “uppercase” and “lowercase” comes from the way printers stored type?

In the days of hand-set printing, individual metal letters were kept in large wooden cases. The capital letters were stored in the upper case, while the smaller letters were stored in the lower case for easier access.

Printers would stand in front of these cases and select each letter by hand to build words, sentences, and entire pages.

Even though metal type has largely disappeared, we still use the terms uppercase and lowercase every day when talking about letters and typing.

đź”  One of the most common terms in modern computing actually comes from a 500-year-old printing practice!

💬 Did you know “uppercase” and “lowercase” had nothing to do with computers originally?

Printing Fun Fact of the Day

Did you know that modern air conditioning exists because of the printing industry?

Back in 1902, a Brooklyn printing company had a big problem. Changes in humidity caused paper to expand and shrink, making it nearly impossible to keep colors lined up correctly during printing.

To solve the issue, engineer Willis Carrier designed a system that controlled both temperature and humidity. His invention not only saved the printing process but became the world’s first modern air conditioning system.

Today, millions of homes, offices, schools, and businesses stay comfortable thanks to a solution that started in a print shop!

So the next time you enjoy cool air on a hot summer day, remember—you have the printing industry to thank.

Were you surprised to learn that printing helped inspire air conditioning?

Laser engraving on metal is one of the best ways to create a clean, professional, and permanent finish that’s built to last.

Unlike printed or applied graphics, laser engraving actually marks the surface of the metal, giving you crisp detail that won’t fade, peel, or wear off over time. It’s a great option when durability matters just as much as appearance.

Perfect for:
âś” plaques and recognition pieces
âś” business signage and branding
âś” equipment and tool identification
âś” industrial tags and labels
âś” custom gifts and specialty items

We offer a variety of metal options and finishes, along with precise engraving that brings out fine details, logos, and text with a sharp, highend look.

We also want to give a big thank you to Logan’s Landscaping for trusting us to create your plaques. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and help bring your project to life.

If you’re looking for something that looks great and holds up over time, laser engraved metal is a solid choice.

Major Color System Upgrade

After years of industry confusion, customer feedback, and at least 10,000 conversations that started with:
“Why doesn’t it look like it does on my phone?”

We’ve officially made the switch.

The Print Shop now prints in RGB.

Yes. Really.

FULL SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Our entire workflow has been updated to match real-world viewing conditions:
• Files are processed at 100% screen brightness
• Colors are calibrated to “held at arm’s length” accuracy
• All designs are previewed in slightly cracked-screen simulation mode

PRODUCTION UPDATES
• CMYK has been retired (it had a good run)
• Printers are now running in Red, Green, and Blue channels only
• Each job is adjusted based on “how it looked when you first opened it”

COLOR MATCHING STANDARDS
To ensure perfect accuracy:
• We match your exact device settings at time of approval
• If your screen shifts tones during the day, so will your prints
• If multiple people approve the design, we average all their screens equally
• If someone says “it looked different earlier,” we fully support that statement

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS NOW INCLUDED
Your print will reflect real-life viewing conditions:
• Indoors vs outdoors
• Night mode vs light mode
• “I checked it quickly in the car” mode

NEW PREMIUM OPTIONS:
• “Exact Screen Match” – bring your phone in, we’ll match it live
• “Brightness Lock™” – freezes your color at the moment you approved it
• “Blame The Screen Package” – includes a printed explanation for your team

IMPORTANT:
If your print looks different than expected, please:
1. Check your brightness
2. Check your settings
3. Check your expectations

We are confident this upgrade will finally eliminate all color-related confusion.
