GOOD REPORT

We recently finished the NPG brochure after months of quoting and consultation
with press, prepress, GI for foil and the kind folks at Smartwood regarding FSC
branding usage. Everyone that has seen it is going ga ga over it. We even drew
praise from [a competing printer rep] that was recently at Nordstrom.

Our printer's representative Dee Grisez stopped by the house on Friday to hand off
one copy of the 2008 Symposium brochure - hot off the binding machine - and also to show
us its flaws before we pointed them out to her. (We wouldn't have noticed them had she not
specifically identified [them].) Suzanne and I actually started laughing when she showed
us these "flaws." They are the kind of thing that only people "in the biz" would notice
and they speak to the extremely difficult binding challenge this particular brochure
presented to the team at the bindery. Not only was there a tremendous amount of handwork
involved in feeding the printed signatures on to the binding machine (which is not normally
required), but the bindery even had to re-tool its machinery to accommodate the complicated
design of our brochure.
The result, however, is quite spectacular and we feel blessed to have all these wonderful
people in our lives - our graphic designer Janell Edwards, printer's rep Dee Grisez, and
all of the people at Emerald City Graphics who don't just show up for work to do a job -
they show up caring passionately about their craft, and they take immense pride in doing
the job right.

We have used Emerald City Graphics for several years, they have been on time, done
a professional job and we have a good relationship with them. I would like to share
something my father shared with me a long time ago: "There have been many times when I
spent less, thinking I was saving money, only to regret it later. Any time that I spent
the extra money for a more quality product, I NEVER regretted it." And so, we will continue
to use Emerald City Graphics.

The reason we keep coming back to Emerald City is not simply outstanding
quality, it's the level of care and commitment we see in everything they do.
Dealings are easy and enjoyable, and the work almost without exception, is added
to by their innovation and the care they invest in all we do.
