Safety on the job

Safety on the Job: Employee Safety in the Work Place

Every business, regardless of its size, must provide its employees with safe working conditions. And considering the range of potential hazards -- from asbestos to slippery stairs to excessive noise -- that can be difficult for a small business. Fortunately, the government agency that regulates workplace safety also provides a wealth of resources to help small businesses comply with their regulations.

Here at IOT we take many safety precautions (as Rusty Petric demonstrates in this photo). Working, with printers can sometimes be dangerous (really?). So safty procedure is important. Protect your head and be visible.

PS - to see why it is important to wear a protection when working with printers see our printer videos

HP Newest Projects To Hit The Publishing Market

New ideas are always in the making. Here are some of Hewlett-Packard Labs latest innovative projects that impact our industry.

A recent article in Computerworld spells out some of the new technologies the company is perfecting. Two have special meaning for the publishing/imaging market:



* BookPrep — A project that can convert an out-of-print book into a newly printed book without the need to have it typeset again. The process of scanning a book, cleaning it up as needed, and printing from one to hundreds of copies takes 24 hours. HP is working with publishers to revive their backlists of out-of-print books. For individual users who might want to reprint, for example, a family memoir, the cost is about $20 per book.



* MagCloud — A service that allows publishers to create magazines using page layout software, upload it to a Web site (magcloud.com) and sell subscriptions, then have them printed and mailed from the site. The idea is that publishers can create highly focused magazines for specialized audiences, get high-quality print, but print only just enough copies for direct delivery (no excess inventory). Current titles using the system include such niche magazines as Mormon Artist, Film & Festivals, and American Aerospace Archives. Other cool items in various stages of development are flexible computer display (that can be rolled up and carried in a briefcase), photonic data transmission (using beams of light), and a project for radically reducing energy consumption in the data centers.
