We're hosting a Fashion Show!

One of our favorite things about our new location is getting to know and work with our new neighbors.  If you don't know them already, we'd like to introduce you to Cretaceous Buffalo, located on the Elmwood facing side of our building.  Cretaceous is a lifestyle clothing brand influenced by skateboarding, innovation and Buffalo artwork.

You may have met company owner Zach Patton if you came to the Grand Opening and Customer Appreciation Party we threw back in November.  He printed the blue iPrintfromHome.com T-shirts that we gave out that night.

Join us for a night of art, apparel and fun as we formally introduce Cretaceous Buffalo's newest collection of winter threads! We will also introduce an art gallery featuring the work of local artist, screen printer and Cretaceous owner, Zach Patton. This is an event for all ages, so if you're in to Buffalo, art & apparel, grab your friends and family and come on over!

We will be offering:

* A fashion show

We hope to see you on Friday night!

Love is in the Air - part 1

We couldn't be happier about the fact that you share your stories about your experiences with our company in your blog entries, on your Facebook pages and in your conversations with friends and family. Not only are you helping us help more people, but you're also allowing us to spend more of our time working on improving our products and services, rather than spending time and money on traditional advertising.

During the month of February, we like to take the opportunity to say "THANK YOU!" for all of your help and also to remind you of some of the programs we have in place to help facilitate the work you do to spread the word about us.

Starting with this one, we're going to send you an eNewsletter each week in February, highlighting different aspects of our "Thank You Dollars" program. First, we'd like to start out with a simple description of the program itself:

Thank You Dollars Program
At iPrintfromHome.com, we run a "Thank You Dollars" program where we award current customers iPrintfromHome account credit for referring new customers.

If you send us a new customer, you will earn $2 in "Thank You Dollars" when your friend creates an account at iPrintfromHome.com and enters your name in the "Referred by" entry box. You will receive another $10 when they place their first order. As you earn "Thank You Dollars," they will be automatically deposited into your account and you will receive notification by email. Basically, it boils down to $12 in account credit for each customer that you send to iPrintfromHome.com, which you can then apply towards future orders.

This program runs all the time and there are no limits to how many Thank You Dollars you can earn.

iPrintfromHome.com Ambassador Center
Once you start successfully referring customers, we'll send you an e-mail invitation to become an official iPrintfromHome.com Ambassador. As an Ambassador, you can take advantage of various tools we've made available to help you spread the word about iPrintfromHome.com and you'll get sneak peeks on promotions and new products. For more information about our Ambassadors Program, please click here.

As always, thank you for your support of iPrintfromHome.com! And, many thanks for your help spreading the word about our services.

Thanks,
the iPrintfromHome.com team

What, How & Why: A Closer Look - Featuring Christina Laing

At iPrintfromHome.com, we work with artists and photographers from across the United States and Canada. We're inspired everyday by the images that they send to us and by the stories they share.
In our "What, How & Why" interview series, we take a closer look at some of these fascinating people.

We've asked each participating artist or photographer three simple questions:

1. What do you do?
2. How do you do it?
3. Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?

Please read on to find out more about Christina Laing.

Christina Laing
Photographer
Buffalo, NY 

What do you do?
I am a photographer, recent graduate of Buffalo State College, and resident artist at the 464 Gallery in Buffalo, NY. My work documents what happens following the rise and fall of industry- the decline in population and the growth of crime, vandalism, and architectural abandonment. When industry collapses, factories, churches, homes, and schools are reduced to ruins and decay spreads like a cancer. Each image is a visual record of how the community has changed over time, a portrait that will exist long after any demolition, arson, or structural collapse.

How do you do it?
While I do occasionally shoot film, a majority of my work is shot digitally and processed with a very subtle use of HDR software. I shoot with the widest focal length my lens will allow in any particular space. My goal is to capture the feeling of awe, amazement, and sadness that I am overcome with when I see these spaces, and pass those feelings along to the viewer.








Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?
I use iprintfromhome because I believe that when you support small, independently-owned businesses, you are investing in your community, and nothing makes me happier than to invest in Buffalo.  Additionally, the quality of iPrintfromHome's printing is perfect every time. I have never had a single problem and they're always quick and eager to help with any questions I may have.

What, How & Why: A Closer Look - Featuring Pat Diemand

At iPrintfromHome.com, we work with artists and photographers from across the United States and Canada. We're inspired everyday by the images that they send to us and by the stories they share.

In our "What, How & Why" interview series, we take a closer look at some of these fascinating people. 

We've asked each participating artist or photographer three simple questions:

1. What do you do?
2. How do you do it?
3. Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?

Please read on to find out more about Pat Diemand.

Pat Diemand
Artist
Orefield, PA 

What do you do?
Eclectic would be an understatement if you ask me to describe what I do. From painting in oils to mixed media drawings to creating PetMats -- feeding place mats for dogs, cats and house rabbits -- to photo note cards  I find an excitement in creating beautiful and useful things. I attribute our many relocations around the country with inspiring an appreciation for diverse settings and colors that I incorporate in all that I do.

How do you do it?
Depending on the subject matter, I paint and draw from photos I've taken or still life arrangements I've constructed. The still life subject matter usually involves fruits and vegetables and the role light and shadows play on the elements. The landscape mixed media drawings are of places visited that have made an impression on me. In my drawings I combine pastels, colored pencil and pen and ink for more realistic and detailed renderings. The oil paintings are bright and colorful with underlying subtle textures. Many times I will use my fingers as well as a brush to achieve a rubbed, blended effect.

Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?
Bar non, iPrintfromHome is the most professional and quality-based on-line printing service I have ever used. Customer Service is helpful and responsive, turn around time -- speedy fast! (especially if you sell your prints on a website as I do) but most of all the quality and pricing are what I like best. iPrintfromHome allows me to sell high quality prints of my original artwork at a reasonable price.
