Re: New Cards in General
I agree with all of the comments voiced in the first note
and would like to add a chuckle at "(617) 496-6174" becoming
"617.496.6174". Last time I checked, Americans still specified
phone numbers in the first form, or, more rarely, "617-496-6174".
But I've already become branded as a 'neo-luddite' so I
figured I'd keep quiet about this issue :-).

| 89.3 | change? | CRETE::SHAMEL | Marsha Shamel | Wed Feb 26 1986 12:57 | 7 |
| A subtle change has occured with business cards. My first 'new
color' batch was 'flat' - that is the print was not raised and was
difficult to read. A batch I got last week had raised print and
the printing was better - same color but much better quality.

| 89.4 | Try the Quill and Press in Acton | MTV::KLEINBERGER | Gale Kleinberger | Thu Feb 27 1986 08:38 | 7 |
| The Quill and Press will do the old style business cards with the
blue printing, 1000 for approx. $45.00. They are located at the
Maynard exit, off of route 2 in Acton. Our cost center will NOT
pay for business cards, so we HAVE to buy our own, and thats where
most of us got ours.

and stationery will once again be printed with a blue logo. Has
anybody seen that happen yet?

Re .0
The cards are not printed in-house - if they were, they wouldn't
have raised type, since the print shop in Northboro doesn't do that.
Don't automatically assume that inhouse printing is second-rate -
alot of quality work comes out of Northboro.
AND - quality control in Northboro is good - the new cards I recieved
today were printed, cut, and shipped all without anyone noticing
that my phone number has 2 numbers dropped out.
That never should have made it through a good shop.

| 89.8 | ERB CARDS | NEWVAX::KELLY | | Wed Mar 19 1986 13:40 | 9 |
| INRE the new business cards. Does anyone out there know anything
about the "NEW" cards for the FIELD SERVICE SUPPORT RANKS? What
we were told was that now there is no CORPORATE requirement for
FS Engineers to "pass" and ERB, that the old ones, like myself,
would get business cards with an "ERB" logo of some type. It has
been months and months and still nobody seems to know what is
happening.
tks.

| re: .0
Just in case you haven't already seen them or heard....we're back
to the "old" <read as blue logo> style cards again. I am in marketing
so it may be just limited groups but I though I heard that everyone
was going back to blue. The phone numbers are still the 617.467.5428
variety though.

| 89.16 | Business Cards: next to useless | EAGLE1::BRUNNER | VAX & MIPS Architecture | Tue Mar 21 1989 22:00 | 23 |
| This is related to the topic of business cards:
Last week I attempted to get new business cards. In the process, I learned
a few things which I imagine some folks have known for a while.
Corporate policy for business cards prevents both electronic address as
well as DTN to be printed on the card. However, it does allow an outside
phone number and mail address (both internal and external).
This makes the business cards useless to me:
- Worthless to give to someone inside DEC 'cause it doesn't
have DTN or ENET address. So they'll have to consult ELF
(which is so fast...) anyway.
- Inadequate to give to contacts outside the company who I
expect to communicate with by electronic mail
because I can't even list a BITNET or ARPANET address on it.
Apparently, this policy is cast in concrete so it won't change. So I
am investigating other avenues. Anybody know if I can order "blank"
cards with just the DIGITAL logo? Then I'll just make a short trip to
my friendly printer...

will allow you to print your own - but at best this should be only for internal
use. Definitely not for external consumption. And again, this might not
conform to corporate identity guidelines ....

| 89.22 | A practical solution ... | AUSTIN::UNLAND | Sic Biscuitus Disintegratum | Thu Mar 23 1989 11:53 | 9 |
| One of the best suggestions that I have seen in another note somewhere
is to spend $7.95 on a rubber stamp with your mail addresses, DTN, etc.
Then, use it to stamp the back of some of your cards, and give those
out to whomever. Granted that it might look a little amateur-ish,
but it's better than handwriting it, and I'm sure most enterprising
DECcies can find ways to expense it (I love the word "miscellaneous").

| 89.23 | melt-down? | MORO::NEWELL_JO | Replies, they don't come easy | Thu Mar 23 1989 16:37 | 14 |
| Our Digital logo is printed using the thermographic process.
You might notice if you run your fingers across it, it is slightly
raised. This effect was achieved (so I'm told) by laying a powder
down where the logo is and heating it up til it rises.
One problem that might occur if you try to put a preprinted DEC
business card (or any thing that was created using Thermography),
in a laser printer, is the DEC logo might actually melt during its
pass thru the printer. Possibly ruining your printer in the process.
Can anyone verify this for me?

| 89.24 | Letterhead does it | RIPPLE::KOTTERRI | Rich Kotter | Thu Mar 23 1989 19:22 | 7 |
| Our letterhead is printed with the same process. When we print a letter
on the LN03 printer in our office, the logo is slightly "melted" and we
quite often get a faint black streaking halfway down the page right
below the logo. I think this is because of the effect of the logo
material on the printing mechanism.

| 89.26 | Try private printer | DECEAT::BHANDARKAR | Good enough is not good enough | Wed Apr 05 1989 23:52 | 9 |
| I managed to get business cards 2 years ago with my arpanet address printed.
Someone must have not looked at my request closely enough to delet the email
address. I had to get new cards this year with the new 508 area code, and this
time the email address was dropped.
I think that any printer will probably print up personal Digital business cards
for a small fee.

| A little late for this reply, but...
Re: getting business cards done -- you can get them done at the Quill &
Press in Acton (for Maynard-area people). They don't have restrictions
on what they'll put on your cards (i.e., e-mail, etc.), and they do
have a 'contract' so they can use the DEC logo. It isn't expensive,
and there usually isn't a problem with putting it through on a
Miscellaneous Procurement Voucher as "office supplies".
Re: raised printing on the LN03 -- most supply rooms now have
letterhead without the raised printing for a logo. The LN03s tend to
melt the logo (leaving black streaks on the paper), so the new LN03
letterhead has been stocked.

Not satisfied, apparently, with owning large parts of New York and
New Jersey, Donald J. Trump now seems to want his very own noun.
He is fighting the trademark application of the Georgia maker of
Trump Cards, a line of business cards featuring a photograph of
the bearer. Although the cards manufacturer, Positive Concepts
Limited, says the name was chosen in reference to the suit of cards
that beats other suits in bridge, Donald Trump says people associate
the word strictly with him.
Positive Concepts, which has been making Trump Cards since 1982,
applied for a trademark for the name in 1985. Edward Zito, president
of the Lithia Springs company, says he had not heard of Donald Trump
when he named the cards. But when the company's application was
made public in 1987, Trump's lawyers filed an objection with the
trademark board.
Trump's lawyer, James David Jacobs, says his client has become so
famous that whenever the word "trump" is used in business, people
think of Donald Trump."
