Frank takes a trip back to a time before email and PDFs negated the need for in-person contact and old-time artwork and mechanicals, and waxes nostalgic for rubber cement. If there is one good thing about today’s self-quarantining, printers and their customers no longer need face-to-face contact in order to deliver artwork, see proofs, or deal with other issues. Special bonus: watch Frank email a file!

Frank was around for the Spanish Flu?

Instead of emailing a PDF, many printers have online storefronts where you can not only upload your PDF, but visually check to see if you made it the right size ( and check if you remembered to add bleed ), select what inks ( 1/1 or 4/4 ) select the paper you want - enter the quantity you want, and then enter your ship to details, even process you credit card - just like Amazon.

I survived the Spanish Flu by gargling press wash.
