    Overtime: Halftones as you've never seen them before

    Similar. I used to play with Bryce. Also Poser. Even now when I see a nice sunset I'll think to myself; 'Looks just like something out of Bryce.' : )

    Why Can't This Happen To Me?

    Whatever the artist could tell you he was trying to convey, it can't be that much more confounding than what I've heard from some design agencies to describe their logo creations.

    Overtime: Printers measure up

    Another one. It has a metal inset along the side to prevent wear. Could have used one of those reduction wheels this morning.

    Banners Quote Surprise...

    Often 'trade only' shops will have a retail division as well that could operate under a different name but same building, same equipment etc. Also, they don't seem to vet trade qualifications closely. If you have what looks to be a bonafide company email address, you're good to go. Awhile ago I...

    Paper straws?

    Why stop at metal straws?! I think people should walk around with their own place settings. You know; just in case they decide to stop at some fast food joint on their travels. Plate, knife, fork, spoon, glass/mug. Salad bowl, bread plate etc. could be optional. Pretty sure restaurants would be...

    Turnaround - Rush - Share your best most rediculous horror stories!

    Many customers lie about their 'absolutely must have this' by a day or more depending on the size of the order. I reached the point that I just assumed all but a select few were fudging the time when they actually required the order. Especially the 'must have Friday PM' crowd, when you knew damn...

    Circle of Tech Support

    This presumes a phone number has been provided and not just a chat-bot (which has never helped anyone). And if there was a phone number, the line would have gone dead by the 4th frame.

    The Test

    Once had a debate for a good 5 minutes over an ink colour before he came clean and confessed he was "a bit" colour blind. He went on to tell me he distinguished stop lights by the lights position on the pole—not by the colour, because he couldn't tell them apart. He had difficulty with reds...

    Coca-Cola to Launch Paper Bottles

    When I moved from Western Canada (BC) to Ontario we saved up a couple months or so worth of plastic pop bottles. Arrived in the grocery store with a cart load of them to collect our deposit money. 'Where do these go?' Clerk looked at us like we were from Jupiter. No deposit/return here. Had to...

    Overs and Unders

    Not here. At least I never worked for a shop that didn't charge for film, film assembly (stripping) & plates. That didn't stop some from using an excuse similar to what you state (or whatever else they could make up) to keep the film. Some claimed a legal right. Bullshit as far as I was...

    Overs and Unders

    These would be the same characters that keep their garbage & recycling bin out back under lock & key because of some paranoia that competitors were rummaging through in the middle of the night for the purpose of stealing customers. I knew of a large shop that would cover up machinery if another...

    Overs and Unders

    Most customers don't count unless it's quite a small amount. Personally, I ensured customers had a few overs. Subcontracting, I was billed for overs once. There had been no previous indication this would happen. I complained, pointing out my years of experience within the business (don't try...
