[GreenKeys] Paper slitter update

[Pete Lancashire]

They are a contract printer. A lot smaller then they use to be. In
fact just talked to one
of the owners (son and cousin) and they are going to call it quits at
the end of the year.
The competition from Asia is just to great and a lot of small run
stuff you can now get
done at places like Office Depot as long as you don't want anything special.

Until less the 20 years ago Portland Oregon had more printers then LA
or SF. No idea
why. Even up to mid 2009 there were even a couple shops running
Linotypes Totally cool
to watch running ! But never saw one that was punch tape fed.
