5-4-3-2-1 Program for Non-Profits
Medium:RARE was founded based on a very basic principle, Preserving Yesterday Today For Tomorrow. In short, it is our goal to provide high end digital services to everyone. However, in our present economic situation, those that could benefit the most from our services, non-profits, are really feeling the pinch. Federal and State government funding has been slashed. Private funding has also taken a hit. Grants are still available, but the application process can be tedious and complicated, to say the least. Even if you are awarded the grant, it often takes months before you receive any of the funds. During this waiting period, time does not stand still for the artifacts. Each day that these documents are handled can shorten their life span. In some cases the document may not survive while waiting for funding. In an effort to aid the non-profits, Medium Rare Digital Services is extending an unprecedented offer, called 5-4-3-2-1.
Medium Rare will offer non-profits special funding. Our 5-4-3-2-1 program offers 5-2-1 funds matching, 4-2-1 funds matching and 3-2-1 funds matching. Plainly put, with our 5-2-1 funding, every $1 paid by the non-profit will be matched with $5 contributed by Medium Rare Digital Service. Think how far your limited funds can reach with this 5-2-1 match. You put in $100 and we put in $500. You put in $200 and we put in $1000. For just $200 you will receive $1200 worth of digital services. Of course we can not extend this 5-2-1 offer to every non-profit, some may qualify for the 4-2-1 or 3-2-1 offer. However, even at 3-2-1 funding, $100 becomes $400, $1000 becomes $4000 and so on. This is a limited offer and is available ONLY to non-profits. For a detailed break-down of our 5-4-3-2-1 program and how your non-profit can benefit from it, use our Quote form to provide us with information about your organization and the details of your project.

Color Management
Every ink jet printer is different. As they get older they also change. So how could a canned profile provided by the printer manufacturer give you the results that you want? They may give you ok results, but is that what you really want? With our profiling service we provide you with a custom profile made for your printer, not just one like yours. We use Gretag products and deliver the best profile possible. Before you waste any more ink and paper on prints that look nothing like what you saw on the screen, why not give our custom printer profile service a try.
