Heh heh heh.

Make sure your next box is high quality, too! A good sharp chisel-pointed staple is more important than the stapler itself.

Cheers,
Dan

Hmm I suppose that averages at about 2 staples per working day over 5 years .. including botched ones!  Not a great sign of industriousness!

Maybe you should take a course to increase your productivity ?

No doubt there's a website and forum or users group that could help as well..

Maybe he's just using his camera more than his stapler.

Well I thought I might share with all of you the main use for my stapler in the studio... just to throw out for discussion the different ways that you might supply your product to a client.  One of the things I found difficult at the start was sending a bill along with a scribbled on cd-r.  It just didn't seem a proper quid pro quo.  This is the latest cost effective version of what I do.  A pre printed DVD-R with address etc... along with a little booklet printed duplex (laser) on A4 paper.  Using a long stapler and guillotene I can make a nice little booklet for the DVD case ... using in-design I can use double page spreads etc.  Quite a handy method I think and it looks good as well as providing the client with a paper version of the images that they have bought.

Are there any other handy methods people use?
