Perfect High Tech Fit...

Website Development Company Acquired

Copies Overnight has acquired Technical Publishers Resource, Inc.
"The acquisition is a perfect fit for us," says president Steve Johnson. "Copies Overnight specializes in digital printing of technical books and manuals. Technical Publishers creates websites rich in technical content. This transaction is a natural progression for us. However, we may now have to change our name. Copies Overnight no longer adequately describes all of the cutting edge services we offer our clients."

High Tech Sites

Corporate Website Cited For Excellence

Copies Overnight has received an APEX '99 award of excellence for its corporate website from Communications Concepts, Inc.
The award recognizes excellence in website design, content and integration into the company's strategic plan.
"As a high tech digital printer, our goal was to create a website that reflects our advanced technology approach, while serving as a user-friendly communications tool for customers and other site visitors," says webmaster Jessica Pinkous.
The website provides fast communication with staff members through e-mail links and an anonymous FTP link for customers to transmit electronic files for digital printing. Links to major companies in the printing and publishing business allow users to obtain the latest upgrades and patches for publishing software applications.
Surfers will find details about the company, our printing on-demand services and digital technology capabilities. Copies Overnight Lite and TechTopics issues may be downloaded in multiple formats.
"The website is continually being improved and updated to meet the changing needs of the fast-moving digital printing industry," Jessica concluded.

FAQ: A Frequently Asked Font Question

Q. Why do I need to send the fonts with each job?
A. Because our fonts still may not exactly match yours, even if we both have licensed the same face from the same type foundry. How is this possible? Foundries are constantly tinkering with fonts, making subtle changes that can cause kerning and text reflow problems. Symbols—or "dingbats" that reside in a font's extended character set—are likely to cause the most headaches. In technical documents, the accurate reproduction of specialized symbols is crucial. Here's a prime example.

Missing In Action

We recently received a job that included the brand new symbol for the euro, the European Community's new currency.
A series of operator manuals were created in Word for Windows for printing in several foreign languages. Copies Overnight had previously printed versions of these manuals with the licensed fonts. But this time, the customer neglected to include the fonts with the new job. Consequently, our computer services department couldn't output an accurate proof. The problem? The missing euro, of course.
Copies Overnight's version of the font in question predated the euro symbol. Since the manuals' translator was based in Western Europe, he had access to the updated font set before his North American publishing brethren.

An Easy Solution

This type of problem can easily be avoided. Just send us all the screen and printer fonts used in your documents, including those used in your EPS files. You'll save time and aggravation.

Another Reminder

If you are sending jobs to Europe, don't forget that metric paper sizes are the standard for most of the world. Copies Overnight stocks the popular A-4 size along with a wide range of other papers. So when you need help with looseleaf and bound documents—both foreign or domestic—call Copies Overnight.
