Managing Expectations
Ever played the game "telephone"? It starts with a circle of people and a wacky story whispered from person-to-person around the circle. The fun comes when the last person in the circle says aloud what they last heard, and the initial person says what they originally started with. Without exception it's completely different from what started the cycle.
Managing expectations can be very similar.
Roland DGA Cartridge Recycling program
I recently saw a post on our Facebook restyling page asking if we had a recycling program. Yes! The Roland DGA Cartridge Recycling Program, launched in early 2010, was met with cheers of excitement & enthusiasm from Roland DG owners. Over the last year, we’ve saved thousands of cartridges from the landfill. One Roland DG owner had been saving cartridges for years in hopes of a good recycling program…
Mejor. Más Rápido. Más Barato.
No se trata de fresadoras convencionales. Los productos 3D de Roland DG no se venden fácilmente. Para comenzar, se habla tanto sobre la tecnología de impresión 3D que hay muy poco que decir sobre la tecnología CNC antigua. Segundo, el mercado es tan diverso que literalmente hay cientos de diferentes tipos de clientes en una variedad de nichos de mercado.

Y nuestras máquinas son distintas de las CNC previas que exigían un conocimiento de programación.
New “Fakes” from Roland DG
In preparation for Label Expo, we wanted to show off some great samples of work that we can do on our machines – so first, we needed to design a bunch of Roland DG branded or fake product labels, find stuff to stick them on and go to town. Here’s a sample of some of our “fake” products!
What’s your outlook?
Last week, The Big Picture Magazine released a sneak peek of their annual wide-format forecast, and I thought the article was on target, but also had some interesting observations, for example:
Can I have a little “Ham & Cheese?”

30,000 package prototypes
In the category of “a picture is worth a thousand words,” this one might be worth 30,000! We’ve been working on a big summer project in our graphic production department. It all started when we were trying to figure out a way to get an actual box prototype – typically, a one-off – in the hands of the readers of Package Design Magazine. We struck on the idea of inserting one in every issue – which presented a monumental task:
