If TURKEY can have a helpline, so can Print! Today chatters will “answer CMYK Hotline calls” and help customers solve print problems!

We welcome your comments to the questions asked during the chat. Here is the info in its original tweet format. Please include A1, A2 etc for the Q# you are answering so we can follow along.

Thanks for you attention – now on to the chat portion of #printchat!

As a manager of a LinkedIn group, I see an amazing array of #print and related questions, and many are sent directly to me as well.

I often find myself reaching out to the real experts to find answers, and alerting them to topics and discussions to chime in on.

That led me to the thought that if TURKEY has a helpline, why not #PRINT! So today, you are ALL operators on the CMYK Hotline!

I will ask help related questions from easy to obscure, and you answer based on your experience – with as much fun as you want to include.

Keep in mind others are watching and will watch replays later, so there is no such thing as a DUMB question and feel free to troubleshoot too!

We are going to start with introductions … and AFTER you finish each answer please include “thanks for calling” so we know you are done!
