 With so many companies offering press printed services one has to find ways to distinguish a difference and weigh that against its value. We are introducing 6-color printing as an option for nearly all press printed products we offer. Let this printing method give you an edge over your competitors.
 
 6-color printing does not enhance every image. You will see the biggest difference in how much smoother the gradation appears on skin tones, shadow areas and blue skies. The wider spectrum of colors and tighter printing pattern are just enough to give your images that edge.
 
 
 Comparison |  |  
 This 6-color upgrade will be available for Photo Books, Greeting Cards, Business Cards, Bookmarks, Itty Bitty Cards, Accordion Wallets, Accordion Memory Books, Calendars, Custom Playing Cards, Custom Magnets, Custom Stickers and Printed Posters.
 
 You will find 6-color printing available in each of our ordering software programs located inside the Options palette.

 GET WITH 
THE PROGRAM!
 
 Black River Imaging offers two different and simple 
ways to order from our wide variety of exciting sports products. But which 
program is right for you? Here are a few pointers to help you choose the right 
system for your specific ordering needs.
 
 WHAT'S YOUR PLATFORM? - 
SportsPix is written for the most common operating system, Microsoft Windows. Mac users wishing to run SportsPix will need an Intel-based machine running OS X 
v10.5 Leopard or v10.6 Snow Leopard, and use either Boot Camp or Parallels 
Desktop with Windows XP or Vista installed. The Sports Design Software (SDS) is 
a ROES-based system that utilizes Java, allowing it to be used by both PC and 
Mac users.
 
 WHAT'S YOUR VOLUME? - If you are shooting a large number of 
individuals for a league or school team, the fast data entry flow of SportsPix 
is ideal. While you can still enter large jobs through SDS, you will be working 
on each product for each frame one-by-one, and will not be able to order by 
packages as with SportsPix.
 
 WHAT'S YOUR STYLE? - While SportsPix still 
allows you to choose from our wide range of designs, some elements can not be 
changed such as font style. Using SDS allows the user to have greater control 
over design elements such as fill and stroke color and font style. In addition 
to this, SDS users can also drop in their own designs for products such as 
traders and magnets to open up endless design possibilities.
 
 WHAT'S YOUR 
PACKAGE OPTION? - SportsPix gives the photographer the advantage of creating 
packages that contain multiple items which can then be ordered with a couple of 
mouse clicks. SportsPix orders also come back packaged in 8x10 windowed 
envelopes, each containing a 4x5 ID card showing the products ordered for that 
player, along with any prints up to 8x10 in size (bulky items such as buttons, 
traders and magnets will be packaged separately). With SDS, all prints will be 
shrink-wrapped to a cardboard flat by size.
 
 MIX IT UP! - Finally, don't 
forget you can always choose to order from both programs at the same time! Many 
photographers will choose to order the bulk of their packages through SportsPix 
for easy data entry and convenient packaging; and then order specialty items 
such as traders through SDS, in order to customize these products with a little 
added flair.

ON!
