    I was very impressed with the customer service I received from the Chronicle Herald the other day…read more I called them to see if I could get my hands on a particular newspaper dated May 2009. I originally sent an email (found the email on their website). I emailed them to ask them if I could get one but after a week of hearing nothing, I decided to email them again. I explained in my email that this was my second request and that I wasn't even sure if I was reaching the correct department. The lady (name Rebecca) was so sweet and so sincerley sorry for not getting back to me. There must have been a glitch somewhere because she didn't get my original request. Needless to say she found me what I was looking for. When I went in there she had it ready with my name on it. She was incredibly nice and I felt as if she truly valued my business when I left.

    Watch out y'all, The Chronicle Herald, the grand daddy of Halifax newspapers, has a new format;…read moresaddling up and taking a stand against extinction at the hands of digital media. They've jazzed up their font and created a modern new look, making the newspaper easier to peruse and more palatable to a 'one second attention span' public. The new format is conducive to discriminative reading, making it possible to simply pick out the stories of interest without having to ingest any other factoids. This type of format is created for a fast paced, no time to spare population, which has its downfalls as well. The font is larger and the stories seem slightly cropped, begging the question as to whether details are being lost in translation. Journalists are having to cater to a digitally accustomed crowd who have become used to simple clicking and scanning, opposed to taking the time to actually read anything in its entirety. Hey, I'm as guilty as the next reader - simply scanning most of the time, picking out the meaty details and leaving the rest behind. But I can't help but wonder, whether this is another nail in the coffin of the printed press. I quite enjoy The Chronicle Herald with all its talented writers, and the new look certainly facilitates a comfortable reading experience. I mean with the Metro as the alternative, I pray that The Chronicle Herald can keep things up and running for a long time to come. I just hope that this precarious step in the direction of modernization keeps this paper inching towards a larger readership instead of falling off the edge of relevancy, into a a blue bag of old news.

    This city is FULL of different print shops. Some big, some small, some only do jobs that cost…read morethousands, some only do quick, cheap runs. Basically, having to choose a printer when already on a tight timeline meant turning to the internet for some recommendations which then led me to Halcraft on Robie. In the short few days that they worked on my project, there was just so much right going on. I could immediately tell they were happy to work to complement my style instead of forcing me into theirs. When I called, they called back. When I switched to email, they switched to email. When I threw a whole bunch of details their way in no particular order, they took what they needed out of it instead of insisting I fill out a form or speak their language. It made getting through the initial details a breeze and easily days faster than any other shop I've worked with. Plus, they weren't afraid to help me make choices when I really didn't know what I was talking about. Other shops have insisted I come in to leaf through their stock and make a choice - Halcraft asked what I was using each piece for and made recommendations for each based on my budget, saving me money wherever possible (i.e. 'you know you can save $80 by doing the cuts yourself, right?'). Proofs came a day or two later than I expected but then my entire job was finished the next day rather than a portion and the rest following the next week which is what I was told would happen. It was a nice touch to have that happy surprise to finish off the week!

    I had an outstanding experience with Brian, Diane and the staff of Halcraft Printers. I don't live…read morelocally, so I needed choose a printer sight unseen, email them my print file and then have the printing ready within three days. Halcraft not only gave me the most reasonable quote but also assured me that they could accommodate my quick turn around time. On Monday, I emailed them my file. On Tuesday, they sent me a proof for approval. And on Wednesday about noon, I received word that my job was ready. My print job looked beautiful, and the whole experience working with Halcraft was a pleasure. I give them my highest recommendation.
