Logo Design Problems?
If you need some help with logo design, a co-worker of mine wrote a very helpful guide on how to create a great logo.
A lot of these basic design steps get over looked in many people's design process. Consider this a refresher if you're a veteran.

Keep Your Mail Within Postal Specs
Why do you keep getting your mail returned? Everything seems in order as both the return and mailing address are correct. Well, you would be surprised that there could be an error of how the text is placed.
http://purplemonkeyprinting.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/graphic-design-resource-envelope-dimensions/
With that guide, you can make sure that you keep within US Postal Regulations. There's a lot to consider.
But one thing that isn't mentioned in that blog is the return address should stay within an 1.75" from the top and then keep the mailing address below this line. This way there is no interference when the machine scans the addresses.
Remember, it's important that you get the envelopes right because an error can cause a lot of troubles. When your client starts mailing out your envelopes and then he gets them returned because the US Postal specs are wrong, you'll be in a world of hurt.

How to Create Your Own Custom Letterhead
Letterheads.
They are an important business stationery product. If one is not designed well, it can lose a lot of it's function and even make your clients eyes bleed if it's not designed well.
A co-monkey of mine wrote a blog about how to create a good custom letterhead and you should take that advice into consideration.
Here is the link
PurpleMonkeyPrinting.WordPress.com
One thing that you might also want to do with the design of the letterhead is to consider what kind of colors you are going to use if you plan on using a design that takes up the whole page. If you want to use a design that's going to take up the whole front side, you should make it very faint. Adjust the tint of it to roughly about 10% so it just barely shows up because if you have a darker object, the type above it will most likely not be visible to those who will be reading it.
Remember, think about the end user. Who is getting the letterhead and reading it? Cater it to them.
If you can't think of anything to design or if it just isn't your cup of tea, PurpleMonkeyPrinting.com has Graphic Design Services for your convenience. We also have some great pricing for them and we can even print them for you. So come check it out!

Color Options: What does it all mean!?
If you work or have associated yourself in the printing world, you should know what your color options are. We're talking about Pantone colors, 4/1 printing, and what not. So really, what should you know about color?
First, lets talk about the numbers. I'm sure a lot of you have seen them before, such as 2/1, 4/2, 4/0 and even 6/0! But what does all this mean!?!?
Well, the numbers are telling us how many colors are on what side. The first number represents one side of the paper, while the second number refers to the opposite side. As for the numbers, it refers to how many colors you can have on the specified side. So let's say, for instance, you need a custom printed postcard printed as 4/2 (would be said as "Four-over-two"). This would require that you would have 4 colors on one side and then only 2 colors on the other side. Now, there's A LOT of rookies out there who immediately think that a 2 color process only involves the use of 2 of the 4 colors on a CMYK press. Well, young padawan, much to learn, you have.
To be quick about this, this is what they mean:
4 color = CMYK. This means you can print photographs and images such as a picture of your dog or monkey.
2 color = 2 Pantone colors. This means you can ONLY use 2 Pantone colors given from the color pallette. No exceptions. The easiest way to do this is to use Illustrator and select the 2 colors you need from the Pantone color palette. If you're in Photoshop and you want to change a photograph into a 2 color process, follow this tutorial.
1 color = 1 Pantone color. Same thing as using a 2 color, but only using one.
6 color = The use of CMYK as well as 2 Pantone colors. Thus, bringing the color count to 6.
So there you have it for that hooplah.
Now, Pantone colors are probably the best thing since sliced bread. What makes them so great is that they have something available called a "Pantone Color Guide". When you look at this guide, you can accurately see what kind of color that will print. There's no color shift. No nothing. It's a guaranteed color.
Let's apply what you've learned to a real world situation.
If you're trying to print on a 9x12 envelope and you need it processed as 2/1. So that would mean there is going to be only 2 Pantone colors on one side and then only 1 Pantone color on the other.That's it!
If you have any questions regarding this, please leave a comment below and we will gladly answer it for you.

$299.99 Business Stationary Sale
So folks, this is a crazy sale.
We all know that getting a full bleed envelope can be an expensive endeavor so we often go for jetted envelopes in hopes of controlling cost. Well, when you go with a jetted envelope, you risk a color and stock inconsistency between your envelope and letterhead. That sucks.
This sale will allow people to purchase letterhead and envelopes that match in every way. They will print side by side on our 28x40 Komori Press. Oh, did I mention they are litho quality?
I'm sick of all the sales online where they say they can print small runs of full bleed envelopes. Well what they fail to tell you is that they are printed digitally and therefore, a lower print quality.
1000 4-color #10 Envelopes on 70# opaque would normally cost $322.75 and 1000 4-color Letterhead on 70# opaque would normally cost $109.30.
These items are going for $299.99. That's $132.06 in savings that I can use on the Wii Fit Bundle. YEah!
Sale ends on December 12th, 2009. Happy Business Stationary buying!!

Custom Printed 9x12 Envelopes
What is it about these large 9x12 envelopes that make you want to open them. Everytime, I get one in the mail, I know it's something important. It's usually important but not a fun read like insurance documents, lawyer papers (not that I have trouble with the law), government papers etc.
I once worked for an ad agency that used these large 9x12 envelopes to house a very large thank you card that they'd send to their potential clients after a meeting. They did a great job designing the gigantic envelope so it looked fun. It's really important to make them look fun otherwise you'll have people thinking, "Oh no. I am I getting served with divorce papers?"
Here are some fun envelope design idears:
Baby shower invites.
Wouldn't it be great to have a huge baby blue or pink 9x12 envelope with rattles or rubber duckies printed on it? Maybe even the ultrasound picture printed on it! Then the invite inside could be a large 8.5 x 11 card. I doubt someone can say they lost your invite with that!
Wedding invites.
Many people have unconventional weddings. Why not have an unconventional invite in a custom printed 9x12 envelope? A friend of mine told me about a wedding where all the food at the reception was finger breakfast food. Little french toasts, little quiches etc. It was crazy but who doesn't love breakfast food?!
Basically you could use a custom printed 9x12 envelope for virutally any invite to make a big statement. It's different and will probably be one of the first times someone opens one of these envelopes and smiles. Let's change the world people, one envelope at a time.

Custom Printed Envelopes
I've noticed that there are many online printers that are boasting custom printed envelopes. In order for something to truly be custom, custom quotes should be available... right? Not everything you're creative mind can conjure will be located in a store's product list.
For instance: Say you want a 9x12 envelope, full color, full bleed and with a window. While I understand many stores may have quantity restrictions for such a custom job (printers have to stay afloat too), they can't say they can do custom work if they tell you, the artwork can't bleed and we don't offer windows.
Purplemonkeyprinting.com has many envelopes available for print with bleed restrictions but also provides custom quotes based on specs you provide. We're your online printer that provides the level of customer service that you get from your local printer.
That and we smell pretty. For real. Like Grapes.
