Tips and Tools for Becoming an Integrated Project Manager – Part 1

This is a re-post of Part 1 of this series which was originally posted over at AtTask. In all honesty, I caused a little confusion by sharing from over there, so my AtTask friends suggested I continue the series here on PMC, and they would sponsor it! BONUS! This is yet another reason why I […]

Personalization Is About To Get Real Personal

Not too long ago I wrote a guest blog for Printing Impressions about the Trade Show Road Less Travelled and spoke about my experience attending the Xplor Conference for the first time, and why I keep going back. Having just returned from the 2013 event last week, my conviction that Xplor is a hidden gem […]

3-D Portraits Created Using Human DNA

There is some creep factor going on here, starting from “finding” gum, cigarette butts and “wads” of hair around NYC, especially the “wads” part. Is there a new neighborhood – Little Wadaly? Ok, I’ll try not to think about that for the moment. It’s cool that 3-D printing is finding it’s way into art, and […]

[Infographic] The ROI of Web Content Personalization

Im on a bit of a segmenting/personalization kick and this plays nicely into it. Knowing who your visitors are is a nice thing, but knowing what they are interested in and looking at is even better. Based on the assumption that users will know their data is being collected (see CONSENT below), the opportunity to […]

The Future of Print is Online Now

I am not a Vista Print fan. I have never used them, but I do know three people who have and only one was happy with their job. The other two ordered business cards and the text was not centered. They also said the card stock was really flimsy. They spent an endless amount of time […]

App Has Beer Fans Seeing Gnomes with Augmented Reality Coasters

Oops – a little late on this one since Gnome week was June 6-9th. Still cute – unless it’s 3am and the Gnomes start looking a little too good, leading to the World’s Smallest Walk of Shame!  A small Belgian beer brand is hoping little creatures help it make a big splash across the U.S. […]

Mobile Control of Duplo Machines? Yep, There's an APP for That

Im catching up a bit on posts since PMC had hack aftermath over the last week+, and this is one I saved to share.  I read yesterday that this machine will be at Graph Expo! That is cool to see it in action, but not being a Printer or a Finisher, seems weird to me […]

Popular Science Enlists Augmented Reality To Bridge Printed Page, Digital World

It’s awesome that the publishing industry is adopting AR as another link between print and digital, and Im grateful they are being open minded. But I have to say, it’s just the beginning with the next step being Intelligent Print Recognition. There are many differences, and some similarities, but ultimately  iPR(tm) provides a relationship with […]

Dear Mobile Industry, As a member of the Print Industry I would like you to consider the following before declaring some sort of victory in the form of an editorial end-zone dance when the game has only just begun. First of all, Print isn’t attempting to compete with you, or technology. We are part of […]
