Does Color In The Office Replace Color in the Print Shop?
Color printing has been a profitable application for print shops. Whether it be marketing collateral materials (brochures and the like), posters and signage or coupons, color documents have been the exclusive domain of offset printing.

Duotones are a combination of two grayscale images, using two negatives and two printing plates. Sometimes we see super print quality using two blacks, to add midtones or highlights to an image, or to extend an image's overall tonal range. Back in the '80s the Time-Life Photography series of books used Black and metalic Silver inks to produce probably some of the best high-grade black and white photographic images ever printed. They're no longer in print, but you can find them in most better public or university libraries.

Expert Offers Checklist To Consult Before Uploading PDFs 
In an era when paperless publishing makes people rush to deadline and take less time in the quality-control realm, we've created a Web full of hastily produced PDFs that are full of errors, take too long to download or are otherwise amateurish in nature.

When you create named destinations, make sure that they are in the view that you want them to be when created because that is the view that will be applied when that named destination is called up later. Also, remember to use the Document Properties preferences to force Acrobat to use the preferences that were assigned to the document (as opposed to Acrobat's own viewing preferences). You may find that your file will open and view differently in every Acrobat application that is used if you do not save the document with your preferences.

Literature-Space Vs. Cyberspace
Stories are so hardwired into our subconscious that it would not surprise me if we did indeed inhabit a story-space that is different from our web-based reading-space. This is a testable proposition. Do our brains work differently when we are in the middle of a story versus when we are in the middle of web surfing? I would be astounded if they were the same. But if that was all the happened -- different strokes for stories than for links, then the solution to exiting the web and entering stories is easy -- just read, listen, or watch more stories.

There are about 1,000 usability-related articles published each year. My guess is that less than 5% ever have any practical, long-term value to most usability practitioners. In some cases, the topics being studied are of little interest to practitioners. In many cases the research results are simply too hard for practitioners to find.

Newsletter Design for Non-Designers
Newsletter design comprises everything from column width and typeface to clip art style and paper color--where do you start? You don’t need to be a graphic artist to design an appealing newsletter—but you need to know the basic principles and how to apply them consistently. Consciously or not, every time you read something, you make judgments about its design. Was it easy to read or skim? Did the artwork seem appropriate? Were the page numbers easy to locate? In this workshop we will review these and other design elements and how to make them work for your newsletter.

Online Documentation: Design Issues
Designing online documentation? You mean I can’t just take the word processing file and make it available on our network, or throw the document into a Windows Help file and ship it? Well, I would not recommend either of those options. You should take many things into consideration when you design an online document.

PDF as an Online Document Format
In January (2000), I asked about TechWhirlers' experiences as users of PDF documents online. The specific questions were: Do you notice a difference between reading PDF online and reading HTML online? Do you have a preference either way? If so, which one? Here's the summary or responses and a synopsis of further information I've been tracking down. I'm sorry it's taken so long: like many an unplanned project it got way out of hand. I've tried to restrict this message to issues of interest to the list; if I've failed please accept my apologies.
