Fall Madness

It's hard to believe that summer is over and schools everywhere have already started classes. So much is going on. Florida State College in Jacksonville is hosting a Steam Roller event - Blocktoberfest. The seventh international printmaking conference, Impact VII, was held in Melbourne. Sadly, Graphic didn't attend but two of our distributors, Melbourne Etching and Heidelberg Fine Art Wholesalers were there.

Group orders are encouraged and we can work with instructors on the logistics. We appreciate receiving material lists from instructors - it helps when students call and don't really know what they are supposed to get. When they ask for black ink and we ask what kind, what brand, etc....and they don't know, it makes it more difficult or causes longer wait times while the student gets the info they need. And, everyone wants their order yesterday. It is the nature of the season. And, we are happy to hear what schools want stocked - you don't need to place a firm order but it's helpful to know if you plan to ask each student to get a number 8 elliptic tool - especially if you have 20 students!

We have two specials this month - Select papers and Brilliant Pink Tint Hanco Litho Ink (HI-3012). My typo when ordering has caused an overstock. We will donate $5.00 from every can purchased to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
