Today was a breakthrough event.

 

I found just the right printer in New York City to join our team.  You can check him at @rollingpress . I realized something about the production plan that is going to change. Up until yesterday I was convinced our network would be built on onto the HP Indigo Press Network lead by @mydscoop on twitter.  It turns out the Indigo requires a pretty large capital investment by the printer. It also requires a dust free, climate controlled environment. All that means any dscoop network partner is a relatively substantial outfit. The problem with a substantial project is a lack of flexibility which means we have to fit into their systems. Since we are involved in an innovation that's going to put some blocks.  HP is not off the radar, it's just I don't think they are "low hanging fruit."

 

On the other hand, the xerox igen entry level machine is relatively inexpensive. That suggests a smaller printer, more hungry and more open to innovation. That describes Rolling Press. There are many possible directions to create a new partnership, but I want to leave that for later to see how things play out. The contact at Xerox is @xeroxproduction. Today I got a message '

Xerox Production ‏@XeroxProduction  1h1 hour ago

@toughLoveforx @niberca @rotanarotana @RollingPress We sense a great partnership - and some terrific projects - brewing here!. For now people should know I have pretty good networks to xerox. You don't need the details.

 

You should know this kind of printer is also perfect for 12 1/2 by 18 1/2 maximum posters as well as postcards. Also booklets and very short run books. If we can find the market we can also do full color books with low page counts starting about 16 pages.

 

On the production side, as of today I have to complete moving the document over to that pad thing. Once that is finished Gigi will take over.  

 

So always keeping in mind that nothing is nothing until it's something and things will happen when they are meant to happen... my spidey sense we have made a breakthrough and our first book is going to be slow, by Rotana.
