Every day we see new products being marketed. Over 70,000 different commercial chemicals are used in the United States. Approximately 1,000 new synthetic compounds find their way out of the research lab and into consumer goods each year. Years ago, little thought was given to what would become of this material when it was used and then discarded. For example, back in the early 1950s, detergents began replacing soaps as the cleaning agents of choice because they did a much better job.

For users new to system security and encryption the importance of key management is often overlooked.

Due to the inherent colour biases of each media and ink combination, a custom profile must be created. Profiling is done by outputing a series of colour swatches to compare actual printed values and known values to create a custom set of tables that will convert every colour to it's intended value. Without the use of profiles, it is extremely difficult to maintain consistency from one print to the next and from one paper to another.

I find it more reassuring to most stakeholders to spend time personally with them. If it is possible to be face-to-face, I prefer that, otherwise the phone is useful.
