Thanks for the informative post. I work on a press that does high quality 4 color work. I must say though, we didn't notice any difference with the piling. Perhaps we just didn't run it long enough. I would be interested to know theoretically why more piling occurs. Thanks Hi. Thanks for the informative post. I work on a press that does high quality 4 color work.

That said, I have probably done more research than many of my peers on sustainable forestry, responsible environment management, and the true ecology of my/our industry. You brought up a few points and facts that, even I had not considered, and I very much appreciate the paper vs. computer side-by-side comparisons. I’d really like to point out that another fact that many people fail to recognize is the environmental impact of new vs. old trees. [This is one of my favorites to bring up, too.] "Old" trees are a net LOSS to the environment, producing and emitting toxic and highly flammable gases that catalyze, feed and spread forest fires. New trees (planted, of course, in place of old ones used to make paper products) create more oxygen than they consume, renewing and reenergizing the same forests that so-called environmentalists are so concerned about. And I don't mean to sound callous, but a simple Google search can tell any of these "green" folks exactly that information. On a personal note, I do use cloth bags at the grocery store and environmentally friendly household products, so I ask the reader to please abandon those sinister misconceptions of tree-killing naturehating paper people. If you ACTUALLY considered the environment, you may be surprised at what you’d find out. Thanks for shedding some light, Blake.

]]> Comment on A Flurry of Postal Updates: Droop Test, Move Update, Winter Sale, Dry Release Cards by sallyscheckel http://www.arandell.com/arandell-mailing/december_postal_updates/#comment-91 sallyscheckel Sat, 02 Jan 2010 01:59:35 +0000 http://www.arandellblog.com/?p=860#comment-91 No winter sale?? Could it be there is a National Mail Count coming up in feb/mar???Why would the usps have a sale? Gosh, they would have to pay us for handling the mail. This way, we have virtually no mail for the two weeks of national mail count... then WHAM We get hit with 'sale mail'. So that we are handling two to three times the volume at wages set for a much lower volume. Who wins? Upper mgmt no doubt. The mail handler and carrier crafts Always take the hit. How about the upper three tiers of national management take a constant, year after year after year pay cut as we the people who actually do ALL the physical work of delivering the mail have done for the past 5 years. 28% pay increase for mr.P in 2002-2009 Happy New Year.
