At your service
Article Abstract:
Ten of the highest-ranked PostScript color prepress service bureaus are described. The staff at Digital Pre-Press International (DPI) in San Francisco, CA, has a strong technical knowledge of color prepress and top of the line equipment. They believe in contributing to their clients' education. Central Graphics in San Diego has been doing desktop color for over three years and processes 50 to 100 jobs per day. Staff printers are available to advise clients on job requirements such as trapping and line screen. Atlanta's Image South is a unique service bureau due to their work being mainly four-color photographs. The bureau writes some of its own color separation software, which can produce two to three times as much work as commercial software products. Seven other service bureaus are profiled.

A tale of two sisters
Article Abstract:
DemiLanes is an Oakland, CA personal-service, low-price desktop publishing business started by two sisters. Erica Richard, 22, and Alane Strong, 24, provide typesetting, designing, and printing for letterheads, business cards, resumes and brochures; regular work includes a monthly arts and entertainment newsletter and literature for Laney College. The co-owners work alone with a Mac Plus, a Laserwriter IINT and the latest versions of Pagemaker, ReadySetGo, Macdraw and Macpaint. They learned their business through Oakland Youth Enterprise Program, which provides training and business funding for disadvantaged youths. DemiLanes began with a $15,000 investment, broke even after the first few months, and may soon expand to other sites.

Staged right: backstage advice for giving a smooth presentation
Article Abstract:
The most common problems that can happen to speakers includes microphones that have been improperly wired or handled, incorrect lighting or computer programs that freeze. Leave the lights on, but lower, during a speaker's presentation, so that the audience is not totally in the dark, and does not fall asleep. Keep a backup computer or backup procedure in place before a presentation, because computers are known to freeze up during a presentation. Keep a backup for every piece of equipment used in a presentation. Do not rely too heavily on equipment in the first place. Plan ahead.
