Like most people nowadays you probably own a digital camera, although it is nice to look at your favourite pictures on your computer screen or from a cd in the dvd player, it is still nice to have a few hard copies. It is a good idea to keep some premium, weighty paper with a sheen among your regular stationery items so that you can print off some hard copies of the pictures you like best. When you buy your premium paper you should also be able to buy a photograph album to keep your favourite snaps clean and safe.

You can get premium paper that is especially suited for colour printing, and you can even get paper that is meant solely for printing out photographs. Although this type of paper is a bit pricey it is still cheaper than taking your photos to the camera shop or chemist and having them printed out there. When you print off your pictures you should use high density paper as this is thicker and less easily torn than less weighty paper.

Stationary or Stationery?

May 20th, 2010 Comments off

Many people oftentimes confuse the words stationary and stationery. This is understandable, since only one letter differentiate the spelling of both words. What’s interesting though is that both words share somewhat the same history.

Stationary means that something is at a fixed spot. Stationery on the other hand is any kind of material that people use for formal and business correspondence. It can include paper, greeting cards, and writing implements among other things. This word originated from the word stationer, a person whose shop is placed on a fixed spot. So basically, both words in one way or another, share the same history.

Back when electronic communication was not yet fully developed, business establishments uses office stationery to send out letters to clients and other business correspondences they had. This practice was considered to be proper business etiquette.

Usually, office stationery sent out in correspondence contains the name of the business establishment that is using it. It can come with the company logo alongside the slogan which establishes the identity of the company.

The design of the correspondence also comes in different types. It can come in plain printing, or as an embossed, engraved or thermographed design.

Now that electronic mail and other medium is getting more popular and makes business correspondence more convenient and quick, the use of such materials is getting less and less.

Whether you run a large corporation or a small home business at some point in time decisions have to be made about the quantity of office stationery you need. There is nothing worse than working on an important project and finding that there is insufficient paper to print out the document. Admittedly, a lot of what we do these days takes place online where the actual physical documentation isn’t a problem.

When you want to send a file or a report to someone you just attach the digital file to an email and off it goes. However, no matter what business you are in there does come a time when you need the actual physical implements to produce a document. If you have a fair idea of what you need and how much office paper you use then you are far less likely to find yourself running out of essentials.

If you order your stationery online it’s really quite simple to set up repeat orders for stuff that you use on a daily basis. Paying for a regular delivery of supplies is a lot cheaper than losing a client because you have run out of the office paper that was needed to get out their quote.
