    I was today years old

    Yep. You can google it to get the exact details, but. As the story goes, back in the early 1900's. The print shop in question was printing magazines. The problem was the the page dimensions kept changing due to the moisture in the sir. So, Carrier solved the problem by pulling moisture out of...

    When i found out that Willis Carrier (inventor of the modern air conditioner), was only trying to solve a humidity problem for a New York print shop. In so doing, he changed the way we live.

    Yep. It's the old YMMV disclaimer. Hey, printers should use that disclaimer on their work products. It would cut down on the number of reruns.

    Customer Complaint

    You know. It felt like back in the day, it was reversed: "All prices are the same, except for the printer" (it seemed like everyone was using Franklin for pricing)

    Open-source SVG-based data merge engine (Inkscape). Looking for VDP/prepress feedback

    Agreed. The user may also want to split the files out to separate printers to speed up throughput. (i.e. sending files 1 through 5 to printer # 1, and, files 6 through 10 to printer # 2.)

    Sometimes I Crack Myself Up

    Well, looks like "Further Ado", turned out to be "Further A-Don't". Even though it was one of the favorites, I believe it placed 11th. The horse that won, though ("Golden Tempo"), a 23 - 1 longshot, came up from dead last on the final turn to first place. It was a very good race

However, if something happens to that horse before the race, and has to be scratched. The Kentucky Derby will have to carry on...

    Scheduling

    Don't stress! Just list all the jobs that need to go and then prioritize them by a series of "Rock, Paper, Scissors". It works every time.

    I googled the words "Pantone" and "Collaborations". I was amazed at the number of collabs they have done with various companies, fabrics, and entertainment industries. They even have a "Bates Motel" Blue with the motel and Anthony Perkins!
