What's changed?
Nothing really, but the accessibility of personal printers has made some businesses think that they can print their letterhead using a small inkjet or laser printer.
The issue is that real letterhead must be printed on a traditional offset press. Anytime something that was printed on with a digital printer, such as an inkjet or laser, the heat from the printing process will smear, damage and degrade the previously printed image. It doesn't look good and its certainly does not look professional.
