August already? My thoughts turn to vinyl...

Here we are, in August... The 8th month of a 12 month year... Today is the 4th day of this 31 day month... I'm currently in hour 10, minute 50 of a 24 hour day... What is my point? Don't have one really, other than to say that LP labels are pretty sweet, and if you need some you should click here and place an order for some.

LP jackets are really pretty cool too, you know? Vinyl is making a comeback in a big way, and it's pretty sweet that you can get jackets, inserts and labels all right here at Imprint. We can even direct towards great places to get your vinyl pressed... and since we work closely with vinyl pressing plants, we're happy to ship your jackets, inserts and labels directly to the plant for you, so everything can be finished and shipped to you all ready to go.

Anyway, that's what was on my mind today.

How are you?

Twitter... Yes, Twitter.

So, Imprint is on Twitter... You can follow us, if you so desire:

You will find a wealth of useful information posted there... really.

Up and running...

The new press is in place, and running like a champ. Print is looking better than ever, and coming off fast and steady. Big love to Hamada-guru Dave, for all his zen-like guidance and direction. As the backlog of orders comes off, and new orders take their place, we're excited about 2009 and all the goodness it hopes to bring.

Another new piece of equipment is on a truck, and heading towards Imprint HQ.... more information on that, as we near its arrival.

In other news, Bob Mould, of Hüsker Dü fame, has a new record out... I've been listening to it, and trying to get a feel for it. Bob is great, saw him play a few years ago here in Sarasota. Also looking ever so forward to the new Sonic Youth record, gonna be doing the Buy Early Get Now deal through Matador Records myself, maybe you should give it a shot?

Hope all is good with you.

Love,
Brad

The day fast approaches...

Imprint will be having a new 4 color press installed on Monday, March 16 2009. We're frantically prepping the warehouse and office, doing a lot of moving and cleaning and lifting and setting down... It's tough work, but we're really looking forward to getting this new machine up and running!

I'd like to send out big props to our head pressman in charge (HPiC), Brett, as he has been busting his butt to get extra work out in anticipation of our slight downtime. He's been working nights and weekends, and just generally kicking ass. Thanks Brett! You da man!!!

So, that said, after today, our phones will be down Saturday, March 14, 2009 - Monday, March 16, 2009... We'll be back in the office, Tuesday, March 17, 2009. But don't think we'll be out partying over the weekend, we'll be hard at work with even more prep work, and working with our electrician friends as we get everything wired and ready to go.

I'd also like to thank everyone for their cooperation and understanding during this big move... We've got some great people we work for/with, and we're thankful for them everyday.

EQUIPMENT UPGRADE, PLEASE READ!

Imprint will be undergoing an equipment upgrade, and will be closed Monday, March 16, 2009. We will have no phone service from Saturday, March 14, 2009 - Monday, March 16, 2009. If you have any questions, or concerns, you can email us, and we will respond as soon as possible. We will return to normal operating hours on Tuesday, March 17, 2009.
Thank you for your understanding...

When does 2+2=+/-.5? Stick around to find out...
Alternately 0+2=1, but that's another story...

Big things on the horizon. Stay tuned for more information!
