We just got back from Imaging USA, and it was great to see so many customers, friends, vendors, and partners in the industry. The dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism that you all bring to the table is inspiring. It makes our busy production seasons worthwhile when we get to see and visit with you. It is an honor to share in the education and trade show events and to learn and discuss ways to continue to build and work together. This was just the first in a series of conferences H&H will attend and sponsor throughout the year. If we missed you at Imaging, we hope to see you at another event during the year, and get the chance to say thank you. We appreciate each and every one of you!

When you take advantage of our new yearbook or admin export options to deliver files to your schools, there is now a longer file retention period in ShareFile. Previously, you were allowed to access files for 30 days. That has been changed to 90 days, effective immediately.
We still recommend downloading these files and archiving them on your own system as well. We also recommend that you use a specific email for the export deliveries that everyone in the studio has access to.
Beginning March 1, our key fobs will no longer be produced on PVC stock. Instead, they will be made using a gloss laminated paper stock. We believe this change will provide a high quality product with better color and edge printing accuracy.
