Thanks for sharing @RepKinzinger - love seeing the amazing things Print can do to make lives better @passiton_values #disruptivePrint @RedCoolerRon

Getting OUT and about is crucial to my mental health. Days that I can’t visit customers I make a point of going SOMEWHERE and talking someone, any human ! a homeless person or a fast food helper so long as it’s face-to-face... err... mask-to-mask ) #printchat a2

Concerns about Morale have become less urgent these past few months, than basic Health... physical yes, but mental and emotional health too. (home office, part of a virtual team of 9, caring for 200+ customers) A1 #printchat

I’m thrilled some universities have great graphic arts programs. I’d love to a course titled “Print as an Entrepreneurial Venture” It’s not so much lack of Graphic Tech skills, as Imagination, Vision and Connection to the ValueChain of Print. On WHY more than What #printChat a4

Just got a copy of the first book that I ever helped to get born and to name: Christianity In The Americas Before Columbus: Unfamiliar Origins and Insights Thanks Gary Bowen for the invite! #DisruptivePrint amazon.com/dp/1513655787/ref…

A Customer Relationship Manager tool can be super simple and inexpensive - even a one person shop. Take a look at ZenDesk #printchat

I am still working up to Great, but I’m a damn good partner ‘cause I work first to understand you and your business - been working to embrace the @FranklinCovey / #7Habits approach for decades now. The older I get the more I believe it really works! #printchat #disruptivePrint

Love the idea ! may need to be two different projectors insights.regencylighting.com… #printChat a5

And on plastic lighting covers. I have a customer that prints clouds & blue sky on the fluorescent light covers in their basement offices. It’s subtle but beautiful! #printChat a5

Avoid assigning Priority or Sequence numbers to more than 7 Things on a ToDo List... more than that tends to spawn confusion #printChat A2

Most mornings and evenings I work to sharpen - and soften - myself for at least a few minutes! Some days I don’t even manage to get the rust off ; ) #printChat a2

Many print shop owners in the Western US are looking forward to the expiration, so they can get their employees to show up for work again. #printChat a1

Several people I know in Print got CoronaSacked. Two found jobs immediately. Most are still looking. Seems less than 10% of folks I know are involuntarily out of work. Many more on reduced hours / pay of some kind A1 #printChat

Printers love Xerox because our products - digital presses & printers - are robust and innovative. #printchat #disruptivePrint a4 #XeroxIGEN #xeroxBaltoro #xeroxIridesse @Xerox
