One day, a proud swallow was sitting in a majestic tree admiring his colorful feathers and his long tail. He happened to see a crow and thought, “Wow, look at how dull that bird is. All of his feathers are black.” Just then, the crow flew up and sat on the same branch as the swallow. The swallow immediately started talking down to the crow, saying, “You are such a boring looking bird. All of your features are black, and your tail is so short. I bet you wish you looked more like me,” as he spread his wings to show off his pretty blue feathers.

Without getting upset, the crow calmly replied, “It’s true, you have colorful feathers and a long tail, but only in the summer. Your beautiful feathers fall off and cannot keep you warm when the weather turns cold. While you shiver, my feathers stay the same year-round and keep me warm in the winter.”

Here’s the way I see it: Simon Sinek said it best, “Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you are better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys.” When you trust our print shop with your important projects, we guarantee our printing will give your business a boost of confidence.

Here a few helpful privacy extensions to consider that include multiple browsers:

• LastPass is a freemium password manager that stores encrypted passwords online. The standard version of LastPass comes with a web interface, but also includes plugins for various web browsers and apps for many smartphones.


• Adblock Plus is an open-source browser extension for content-filtering and ad blocking. It is designed to help you sidestep pesky ads. However, it will still display ads that it considers “nonintrusive advertising.”


• Privacy Badger is a browser add-on that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking what pages you look at on the web. If an advertiser appears to be tracking you across multiple websites without your permission, Privacy Badger automatically blocks that advertiser from loading any more content in your browser.


• Click&Clean is a free extension that helps you to delete your browsing history, cache, cookies and enhance your security and privacy online.


• HTTPS Everywhere is a browser extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure. The extension will automatically reconfigure each website request from wide-open HTTP to encrypted HTTPS, when it is supported.

If you are looking for a printer who you can trust to handle highly confidential documents, look no further. We provide secure printing for all types of confidential and sensitive materials. Remember, other printers may be nearby, but nobody comes close.
