I work closely with the printer to get the final print the way I want it.

My company, Against All Odds Productions, has done print on demand; we were the first to do a book with a CD-ROM in the early 1990s. We do custom covers. It's always fun to do something new.

We have a company, Geometric Software, which is into engineering services software. We have a company called Nature's Basket, which is into gourmet retailing. Both are specialized companies.

There's an obvious marketing component to doing something digitally where you're reaching out to new readers that you can't do in the existing print marketplace, or that it's difficult to do in the existing print marketplace.

The paintings are transferred from my computer to a disk, and I can hand it to the printer this way; or I can modem the painting to the printer over the phone lines from my house in Hawaii.

You can't stop people printing what they want to print.

Unlike sitting at a computer screen, printing is very direct and hands-on.

The problem, for me, with the writing programs is that they produce a terrible uniformity of product.

Print-on-demand and electronic self-publishing options have made it easy for anyone to set up a business as a publisher whether they know what they're doing or not.

To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise.
