How to Create LinkedIn Articles That People Will Read and Share
Do you create written content? Wondering how LinkedIn articles can improve your exposure?
In this article, you’ll learn how to create LinkedIn articles that amplify your reach and engagement on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn Articles vs. LinkedIn Posts: What Is the Difference?
While
LinkedIn posts
and status updates are limited to 1,300 characters, LinkedIn articles can be up to 125,000 characters in length, which gives you more opportunity to showcase your expertise and knowledge. Writing articles is also a great way to start conversations and raise your visibility on the platform.
When someone viewing your
LinkedIn profile
scrolls past the About section, they’ll see an Articles & Activity box. In this box, the last article you wrote (whether recently or years ago) will take up half of the box. This prominent placement highlights content that’s central to you and your brand.

Q. How can ink mileage be increased on a press?
A. The amount of pigment in the ink will have the greatest effect on ink mileage. Pigment is the most expensive ingredient in ink; typically, less expensive inks with less pigment will have poorer mileage. Paper coatings keep more of the ink on the surface and tend to require less ink. Any condition on the press, including ink/water balance and printing pressures that cause the press operator to run a heavier ink film, will increase ink consumption. Theoretically, the best lithographic printing occurs with just enough fountain solution to keep the plate from scrumming and just enough ink to print the required solid ink density. GCR (Gray Component Replacement) can also reduce ink consumption of process colors by making the black separation heavier and reducing the amount of ink used by the CMY separations to create grays.
Q. I’ve decided to move my commercial printing operation to a new building. What should I take into account when evaluating buildings?
A. That’s an easy answer for us, since we’ve helped many companies move to new locations. Here are some of the items that can get overlooked:
- Examine the electrical capacity. Most print operations require 480 volts/3 phase/1,200–1,500 amps with some circuit breakers that can support 200 and 400 amps for main press drives.
- Inspect the lighting system, since many old fluorescent lighting fixtures are now obsolete and there are EPA restrictions on the disposal of the 6-foot bulbs.
- Check the spacing of the vertical roof support beams. They should ideally be 40-to 50-foot centers to permit optimum spacing layouts of the planned plant equipment installations.
- Have a roof inspection performed to spot areas of leaks and HVAC penetrations, and whether the roof is silver painted to reflect the sun.
- Consider the costs of lowering ceilings to optimize the required climate control for inkjet and other digital presses.
