DAYTON, Ohio, May 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Frank Abagnale, the former con artist turned worldwide document security consultant, believes criminals attempting to copy, alter or steal checks or other original documents will be immediately deterred by a new high-security watermark safety paper bearing his name.

Abagnale, whose youthful exploits as a forger and imposter were depicted in the motion picture Catch Me If You Can, and Standard Register, a document services company and a leading provider of document protection technologies, created the paper, which can be used for checks, registrations, titles, gift certificates, college transcripts, entrance passes, tickets, vouchers and coupons - key targets for document fraud and crime.

Paper.com offers security/safety papers made by Georgia Pacific. Once a document is printed on the security paper if a copy is made a basket weave pattern will appear on the copy to indicate its originality. We've experimented with the product around HQ and it's neat (to borrow a word from the 50s) technology. I'm always astounded at how much innovation there is in this venerable industry.

Paper.com Announces New Affiliate Program

Paper.com Announces New Affiliate Program

Paper.com announced today the start of a new online affiliate program utilizing AffiliateTraction’s TrackAssure affiliate software as an addition to current advertising efforts.

A leader in art, office and educational paper supplies since 2003, Paper.com has served as a comprehensive source of consumer and corporate paper products such as greeting cards, wedding invitations, business cards, office supplies, stationary, envelopes, graph paper, transfer paper, photo paper, printable stationary and more. Paper.com claims to have over 8,000 types of paper in stock and available for immediate delivery.

According to Paper.com’s John Engel, the choice to start an affiliate program was a logical extension of current efforts. “An affiliate program allows us to extend our reach to new audiences without the time and effort involved in negotiating advertising purchases. AffiliateTraction’s services were very attractive to us, because they offer a comprehensive solution to affiliate marketing that includes software, promotion and management.”

According to Greg Shepard, CEO of AffiliateTraction, an affiliate program allows anyone to earn commissions for their efforts that result in sales. “It is very simple,” says Shepard. “Anyone can be an affiliate. Even without a website, affiliates can earn commissions through a simple website link we provide. The link can be e-mailed to friends, shared in online discussions, printed on business cards or flyers, and more.”

Mr. Shepard also made clear that AffiliateTraction offers help to those without experience in affiliate marketing. “Someone with no experience whatsoever can make money, and with the proper knowledge one can earn a healthy income,” says Shepard. “Best of all, we offer all of our affiliates help in implementing their promotional efforts through valuable tools, online tutorials and support by phone and email.”

Affiliates who sign up for the Paper.com affiliate program will earn a 10% commission on all sales they refer and are paid monthly when earnings have reached $25.00 or more. The Paper.com affiliate program is also configured so that even if a visitor is referred and does not return to the site to purchase anything for up to a year, the affiliate is still credited with the commission.

PAPER CALCULATOR

This shows how to multiply a three digit number by another three digit number by using lines and dots on a paper. I have never seen this done before, but it is an interesting trick.

Rock/Paper/Scissors Peace Conference

That rock isn't so tough. I think paper can take him. They should have sent in a heavyweight paper, maybe a 300gsm Crane's Lettra. Instead, this is clearly a flyweight paper...

Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

Before You Choose Paper Brightness

How white is white? In terms of paper, there are many different levels of whiteness or brightness. Paper brightness affects the images printed on the paper, especially the vibrancy of the colors.

Measuring Paper Brightness

The brightness of a piece of paper is typically expressed on a scale of 1 to 100 with 100 being the brightest. The multipurpose bond paper used in copy machines and desktop printers generally has a paper brightness in the 80s. Photo papers are normally in the mid to high 90s. However, manufacturers often use terms such as Bright White or UltraBright instead of numbers. These labels can be deceiving and not truly indicative of the brightness or whiteness of the paper.

With 12 invitations to the sheet and maybe a four foot stack of invitations showing I'd say that the guest list for this wedding has to include at least 20,000 people.

Imagine how big the cake is!

Seriously, if you are planning a really really big wedding the cost of the fine cotton invitations are probably the least expensive part of the wedding but perhaps the most important.

If planning a wedding of this size, make sure you call Paper.com

This famous paper mill has been providing paper to the U.S. Treasury for the last 200 years but is probably most well known for their fine stationery. Here, in Massachusetts each order is hand picked and assembled. Each bow and ribbon is hand applied. We do things the old fashioned way and that's ok.

Is this a picture of Mr. Paper? The identity of Mr. Paper is the one question we're asked most frequently. Frankly, none of the contributors to this blog have ever seen Mr. Paper.
