Bulk Copies
We print our copies on a wide variety of paper ussually 20lb to 32lb paper.
We Konica Minolta's for both color and black and white copies. We only print in bulk so if you only need a few copies you would be better served at a local copy store.
We take files from most programs including Microsoft Word and Publisher, as well as traditional graphics programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. We prefer working with Press Quality PDF files - that way the file has your graphics and fonts embedded in the final file.
We can work with most programs but prefer print quality PDF.
Most bulk copies are printed same day.
A few things to remember before submitting your files:
-If you submit Print Quality PDF’s to our specs you can view a proof online within minutes using our automated system. Our prepress staff will still look over your job before going to press and if your files do need some changes we will send you another proof .
- These are copies and no bleeds are allowed
- Keep all valuable text and logos within the safe area.
- Resolution of logos should be at least 600 dpi
If you have any qestions you can email us at workflow@hhimaging.com or call us at (415) 431-4731. And yes, we are local.
Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)
Why am I getting another proof after I approved my file online?
If you submit your press quality PDF online your file goes through our automated process but it does not end there. Our prepress staff looks over your file for other issues such as missing fonts, Resolution and other issues you might not see in your proof. Please relook over the proof and approve again (this service is free).
More General Info On Copies
A photocopier (or copier) is a machine that makes paper copies of documents and other visual images quickly and cheaply. Most current photocopiers use a technology called xerography, a dry process using heat. (Copiers can also use other output technologies such as ink jet, but xerography is standard for office copying.)
Xerographic office photocopying was introduced by Xerox in the 1960s, and over the following 20 years it gradually replaced copies made by Verifax, Photostat, carbon paper, mimeograph machines, and other duplicating machines. The prevalence of its use is one of the factors that prevented the development of the paperless office heralded early in the digital revolution.
Photocopying is widely used in business, education, and government. There have been many predictions that photocopiers will eventually become obsolete as information workers continue to increase their digital document creation and distribution, and rely less on distributing actual pieces of paper.
Among the key advantages of photocopiers over earlier copying technologies are their ability:
� � � * to use plain (untreated) office paper,
* to implement duplex (or two-sided) printing, and
* eventually, to sort and/or staple output.
In recent years, all new photocopiers have adopted digital technology, thus replacing the older analog technology. With digital copying, the copier effectively consists of an integrated scanner and laser printer. This design has several advantages, such as automatic image quality enhancement and the ability to "build jobs" (that is, to scan page images independently of the process of printing them). Some digital copiers can function as high-speed scanners; such models typically offer the ability to send documents via email or to make them available on file servers.
A great advantage of digital copier technology is "automatic digital collation." For example, when copying a set of 20 pages 20 times, a digital copier scans each page only once, then uses the stored information to produce 20 sets. In an analog copier, either each page is scanned 20 times (a total of 400 scans), making one set at a time, or 20 separate output trays are used for the 20 sets.
Low-end copiers also use digital technology, but tend to consist of a standard PC scanner coupled to an inkjet or low-end laser printer, both of which are far slower than their counterparts in high-end copiers. However, low-end scanner-inkjets can provide color copying at a far lower cost than can a traditional color copier. The cost of electronics is such that combined scanner-printers sometimes have built-in fax machines.

A Glossary of Bulk Copies Terms
Bulk - sent in large quantities, usually within a brief span of time; may include sets of personalized or other similar messages as well as identical messages.
Concertina Fold - a continuous parallel folding of brochures and similar printed material in an accordion-like fashion, that is with folds alternatively made to the front and back in zig zag folds. Because they do not nest (as in Letter Folds) panels can be the same size. Seen from above, concertina folds resemble a Z or M or series of zigs and zags. Also known as a Zig Zag Fold, Accordion Fold or z-Fold.
Copy - written information and other text used in advertising and printed material.
Copyright - a group of legal rights granted to the author or creator of written or visual work. All work appearing with the © symbol or the word "copyright" is protected by its creator or his heirs. For more information, contact your attorney.
Copy Writer - an individual who writes the written information or "copy" for an advertisement, newsletter, publication or brochure.
Finishing - preparing printed pages for use. Most printed jobs require one or more finishing steps, such as trimming, folding, or binding. see also binding, folding, trimming.
Folding - doubling up a sheet of paper so that one part lies on top of another. Folding stresses the paper fibers. To create a smooth, straight fold, heavy papers, like cover stocks and bristols, need to be scored before they're folded. Multiple fold strength is important in printed pieces like books, maps, and pamplets. It's far less important in one-fold opera- tions like greeting cards or envelops, where fold cracking is the vital consideration. Folding strength is negatively affected y the drying heat of various printing and finishing operations. see also binding, finishing, gatefold, imposition, scoring, signature.
Letter Fold - folding pattern in which the folds are parallel and in the same direction, so that a kind of spiral is produced. The letter fold is a parallel fold. Two or more panels of the same width of the folded signature are folded around one panel. When the signature is folded twice, there are three panels on each side (six pages); with a tri-fold, the result is four panels on each side (eight pages). To allow proper nesting of panels that fold in, inside panels are usually 1/32" to 1/8" smaller than outer panels with the inside end panel being the smallest.

There are a number of ways to import and export data with SQL Server 2000. Bulk copy is one of them. In this article Mitchell introduces us to basic import/export functionality with the bulk copy command utility.Picture this. You have to export 100,000 rows of customer information from your SQL Server 2000 database into an SQL-native file format for importing into a database half way across the world.
These rows of data will be used to populate a customer database for your new office opening in Paris. Each row needs to have its data values preserved and because you’re exporting 100,000 rows of data, the export needs to be quick. Very quick.
What do you use?
There's a number of different ways to quickly import and export data from various sources and in various formats. Basically, there are three methods that could be used to do it:
- Use the bulk copy API's to write a custom C++ application to extract and then import the rows from the database.
- Use data transformation services (DTS) to create a package to handle the export and re-import of the rows.
- Use the bcp.exe command line utility to both import and export the rows to a file.
In this article we're going to take a look at using the bulk copy utility that ships with SQL Server to import and export rows quickly and easily from the command line.
To implement the bulk copy sample that we're going to look at in this article, you should be sitting in front of a PC where SQL Server 7/2000 is installed. You should have unrestricted administrative privileges at both the operating system and database level.
