Distribution News About The New CartoPhilatelist Journal

Digital Edition

A secure web page has been setup for downloading the current issue of the Journal and digital subscribers have that option instead of receiving it as an email attachment. Some of the digital subscribers were having problems receiving the email with such a large attachment, so this download page will solve that problem. Our Editor, Martin Oakes has contacted all of the members using email to verify their contact information, and record their options for receiving the digital edition.

Hardcopy Edition

Over the past couple of months the Officers have been investigating the use of a Print On Demand (POD) service to print the Journal for the hardcopy subscribers. During the summer we made a test printing of a sample issue using a new self-publishing web service from HP called MagCloud. MagCloud enabled us to create a commercial quality Journal, printed on demand with no up-front costs or minimum print runs. Its a fascinating service with a very easy to use interface. Other philatelic societies should definitely give it a try.

The officers were happy with the printing quality and production costs and wanted to give the hardcopy subscribers an opportunity to see an issue printed by MagCloud and receive their comments. Please send your comments to the Editor.

“We have been examining such options for a few months and the Officers feel that outsourcing the production of the Journal using a POD service is a win-win situation for both the hardcopy subscribers and also the Society,” said President David Wolfersberger. “We are sure you will be very happy with the printing quality and production of the MagCloud issue. When some of our digital subscribers see the quality of the new printing, they may want to change back to the hardcopy subscription plan!”

The October 2010 issue of TNCP has been printed by MagCloud. Our Editor, Martin Oakes, is doing the shipping of the issues to hardcopy subscribers the first few days of October. We are also considering additional options to make back issues available on MagCloud and more information will be announced later.
