Resourceful by nature

Article Abstract:

Earthwatch, a nonprofit organization with emphasis on environmental concerns, is using desktop tools to produce publications, direct mail, and other communications. So far, using Macintosh computers, Earthwatch does in-house newsletters, as well as reports and items such as postcard invitations. The staff is experimenting, working with the design and layout of the quarterly, black-and-white 'Expedition News'; the preparation of the more complicated 'Earthwatch Magazine' is being considered. A recent gift of HP Vectras and Laserjet Plus printers will enhance the scope of Earthwatch's desktop capabilities. Telecommunications capabilities will probably be another key to improvement, and an electronic bulletin-board system is planned.

Designers on call

Article Abstract:

Printz, a new company that is co-owned by Michael Nolan and Charles Wyke-Smith, offers on-site desktop publishing. Nolan says that Printz targets businesses that can benefit from desktop publishing, but lack expertise and equipment. Printz opened in Nov 1986, equipped with five Mac Pluses, an IBM PC for file conversion, a Laserwriter Plus, and a video camera for scanned images. Presently, 20 percent of Printz's business comes from the take-out publishing service.
