• Caroline McCormack writes about: How do you save money on your print. She offers five solutions.

• See drupa forthcoming report on the impact of the internet on print. The full report will be available by mid-October in English. The Executive Summary will be available in seven more languages around the same time.
• In Germany (English article) smart business cards cum QR code which can be folded into a USB drive were making some waves. See Bernd Zipper from beyonprint.de for example.
• The BBC reports on a new robotic printer that can move around an office to bring documents to the person who printed them. We are not really convinced since we strongly adhere to the 10.000 steps a day rule. We rather prefer walking to the printer instead of a printer sneaking up upon us!
