Letters, feedback, get it off your chest: 28 October 2009

Readers remain divided over the need for phone books. What’s your view?

Re: Phone book printing stays in Australia
Dear name withheld,
 
You obviously do not understand the way things work.
 
When something is printed the carbon footprint stops when the item is delivered. That item can also be recycled safely. Unlike the electronic delivery of “printed” matter, you do not add to the carbon emissions every time you open the book, letter, junk mail, phone book etc.
 
To make a book available on line creates more carbon emissions that the same printed article will ever create. Burn that to a CD and see the needle go off the scale.
 
Electronic delivery is great if you want something now and are too lazy to flip a couple of pages to find what you want.
 
Not afraid to put my name to my opinions

Re: Loyalty - swear you will be faithful. Print21 article by Andy McCourt

Great article – as a print buyer I tried to be loyal initially to my company and the general printers I get various quotes from. One can’t always go on price of course – often it’s “who did a great job in extraordinarily short urgent time last time ?” Personal service, and thus loyalty,  so often wins out over price.
