Embarrassing typo On Eric Schmidt's business card teaches us these valuable lessons

Eric Schmidt, "Chariman of the Executive Committee and CEO of Google. FORTUNE magazine highlights this.

"Chariman." Yea, right.

It's easy to consign this typo to carelessness.

Of course that is an appropriate indictment. But rather than chortle about this rather big "duh," I'd rather point to some teachable best-practices we can learn from this.

The answer is that in an era where an increasing amount of Web-based content is created in and by third-party software, plug-ins, blog authorship tools and widgets- rather than only by Web page authoring software- every one of these objects needs to have a spellchecker.

I'm talking about everything from calendar authoring to blogging tools. Some of the utilities I have mentioned have built-in spellcheckers while others do not. In too many cases, the downloadable third-party spellcheck app is a pain to insert, at least iteratively.

That's lesson one.

But tools can only take us so far.

Lesson two: if you have spellcheck tools and are creating any type of content, do a spellcheck.

Your "chariman" should insist on nothing less.

What Are Spot UV Cards?

We have been receiving quite a number of queries regarding Spot UV cards which we offered on top of Matt Laminated cards. So what is Spot UV? It is actually a print finishing expression which allows you to print an area of Ultra-Violet Coating onto your printed material. In English this means you can print a clear glossy vanish instead of an ink over a specific area.

Many found this to be extremely effective and it adds that little bit of extra class to any print project.

It captures attention as it undoubtedly catches the eye and helps to highlight key features of a design. It works especially well on namecards and in helping to differentiate your business above competitors. Who knows, it could be the difference between winning a client and selling a product or missing out completely.

Single side Spot UV cards are offered at RM69 for 3 boxes, RM95 or S$70 for 5 boxes and RM150 or S$120 for 10 boxes while double side Spot UV cards are being printed at RM84 for 3 boxes, RM120 or S$100 for 5 boxes and RM200 or S$150 for 10 boxes.
