Printing Profits Dive as Large Printers Have Massive Writedowns - Industry Data Analysis from WhatTheyThink: Printing Profits Dive as Large Printers Have Massive Writedowns
By Dr. Joe Webb
Published: December 22, 2015
The third quarter of 2015 marked a huge divergence in the performance of the industry, according to the Department of Commerce Quarterly Financial Report. Printers with more than $25 million in assets wrote down assets amounting to nearly -15% of revenues. This sent the quarterly moving total of inflation-adjusted profits before taxes to +$1.46 billion.
The table shows that smaller print businesses did much better. The demarkation by assets at $25 million in assets is roughly equal to the split of establishments with 100 employees or more. These larger printers with 100+ employee have been the specialists in high volume catalogs, magazines, newspaper inserts, and numerous other high circulation materials. The consolidation activities in this segment of the industry have been constant, driven by the shift to digital alternatives and the rising costs of distribution, especially postal costs.
Printers smaller than the largest have been performing much better. Over the last five quarters, the category of those with less than $25 million in assets have had an average profit before taxes of more than 6%.
We will have more details of these data including a longer historical analysis when WhatTheyThink resumes its full publishing schedule in 2016. Check the site for breaking news during the break.

How to make your contract your best business ally - Freelancers Union
How to make your contract your best business ally - Freelancers Union: RSVP: SPARK November 7 - How to build an inspired business
If you’re freelancing, you should have your own contract. Not your client’s contract, not your friend’s contract, your very own contract that’s written with you and your needs in mind.
One DIY approach is to cobble together a contract with your favorite terms and conditions from previous contracts.
This is a great beginner strategy, but when you’re ready to level up, here are five things you can do to make your contract even better.
1. Contract under your company’s name
Contracts legally bind the two people (or companies) that are identified at the very beginning of the document.
That means if you contract as “Darius Jones, professional designer,” you personally are responsible for all of the legal obligations in the contract, but if your company, “Darius Designs, LLC,” is identified, your company is responsible.
If you’re married, or own a house, car, retirement account or anything else you like and wouldn’t want to lose, contracting under your company’s name, instead of your own name, can protect you and your family from liability if something goes wrong.
2. Get their address (not the PO Box)
Your contract isn’t only a legal document, it’s an information gathering system, and one of the most important things it gathers is your client’s address.
You want to know your client’s address so you’ll know where to find them for all sorts of reasons: invoices, meetings, your annual hilarious holiday card, and, of course, a lawsuit.
If you ever need to take legal action against your client, even in small claims court, you’ll need to know where they’re located.
Most states require you to serve lawsuit paperwork face to face; if you only have a PO Box you won’t be able to do that.
3. Detail what your client is getting (and what they’re not!)
One of the places were freelance contracts traditionally fail is in the description of the work.
In most of the freelance agreements I’ve reviewed, the work is under described: it makes assumptions about what each party knows, doesn’t identify the things that aren’t included in the job, and summarizes a number of steps or deliverables in one generic statement.
Take the time to clearly explain what you’re doing for your client and what you aren’t.
This will be the section that will be most useful to you in the event of a dispute, so make sure it would be crystal clear to a stranger totally unfamiliar with the project (like, say, a judge or an attorney).
4. Limit your liability
Most contracts will have you make indemnification promises to your clients.
That means that if a promise or statement you made in the contract turns out to not be true, you’ll pay for any harm your client suffers as a result (another reason for following tip #1).
This makes sense, to a point. Your contract should cap your liability at a reasonable amount.
Common examples are the amount you made under the agreement or some multiple of the total value of the contract.
This will help you avoid getting side swiped by liability that you can’t cover.
5. Pick a place to fight it out
Contracts have a number of “in case of emergency” clauses that detail what will happen if things don’t work out.
One of those sections talks about where a lawsuit will take place if there ever is one. (Sometimes found under the heading “venue” or mentioned in “choice of law.”)
You want this place to be easy for you to get to. If you live in Georgia and the contract says you have to sue in New York, how likely is it that you’ll go after your client for the $5,000 they owe you?
Pick a venue that’s easy for you to get to or make an exception to the rule for small claims court (which is where you’d have to go if you were owed $5,000).
You can make these changes on your own or work with an attorney to make sure that the wording is exactly what your business needs. The important thing is that you review your contract on a regular basis to make sure it is supporting your business and protecting your interests.

“The right patterns of ink on a page can create vivid mental imagery and instill powerful emotions.”
Are You Reading The Wrong Books? What Science Is Saying About Fiction Readers | The Literacy Site Blog: Studies are showing that readers of fiction are more empathetic towards others. By engaging with a story, readers are temporarily placing themselves in a character’s shoes, therefore, the more stories you read, the more shoes you’ve tried on. It’s a fascinating insight into the world of reading.

Foreign Publishing Deals
Foreign Publishing Deals: The question as to who owns the right to make these deals is the subject of the agreement between author and publisher. Since copyright initially resides in the creator of the work-usually the author unless it is a work for hire situation-how much of that bundle of rights called copyright the author gives away is what that agreement is all about. Part of the negotiation will involve foreign rights of the sorts mentioned above. (see the further discussion below). However, there are often other parties who may have rights that may prevent the making of a foreign deal including but not limited to artists, illustrators, editors and even, in some instances, distributors and other parties. Therefore, the publisher must carefully review all of its agreements (or the lack of such agreements) to make sure it can actually make a foreign deal.
The real question is whether the US publisher owns exclusive rights to the cover art. Without exclusive rights, the US publisher is nothing but a non-exclusive licensee and does not have the legal right to assign any rights or otherwise deal in or with the US cover art. Unless the agreement with the cover artist expressly provides for the transfer of the exclusive rights of the artist to the publisher including the right to transfer and assign such rights, it is unlikely that the US publisher can transfer such rights to the sub-publisher. I am assuming that the cover artist is not a bona fide employee doing work in the course and scope of his/her employment.
IVAN HOFFMAN, B.A., J.D.
42+ years experience lawyering in the IP business, my experience is that the single biggest mistake that publishers make is in not having a valid written and signed agreement with cover artists. Merely paying for the art is NOT legally sufficient.

White Paper Demystifies Magnetic Printing
Home Forum What You Think?
Editorial White Paper Demystifies Magnetic Printing
Printed magnets have been popular specialty items for decades. Magnetic media are available for virtually all printing technologies—from offset to digital, from digital toner to inkjet—and getting high-quality images on magnets is easier than you might think.White Paper Demystifies Magnetic Printing
These are high-value print applications that should be explored! New magnetic substrates, combined with modern digital printing systems, are providing a fresh insight into working with Magnetic Substrates that make magnetic printing more versatile than ever.
Still, there remains the perception that magnetic materials are incompatible with a given printing press, or that printing on magnets is expensive and/or complicated, or that it causes nothing but problems. Magnetic Substrates Are Nothing to Fear, a white paper, by industry analyst and author Richard Romano and sponsored by Magnum Magnetics, debunks the myths surrounding magnetic printing, and shows
how these high-value print applications offer profitable growth areas that are within the reach of any print shop.
There are several different methods for printing images on magnets:
• direct printing on the substrate,
• using a transfer medium, or
• printing on unmagnetized material.
Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and the white paper identifies the pluses and minuses of each, with an emphasis on working with substrates that are magnetized after printing. The white paper also offers a rundown of any ancillary equipment that may be required, and provides a basic primer on magnets that defines common terms used in magnetic product literature and spec sheets. “Magnetic substrates can expand the service menu for print service providers,” said Vince Naselli, VP, Business Development, PrintPlanet. “They allow shops to offer new, high-value applications with relative ease and minimal investment. As this white paper shows, the learning curve is not that steep either.”
The white paper is available for download here.
