I think that, from the beginning, the "Holy Grail", was to develop a digital printer that was every bit as good as offset. That's nearly impossible with a toner based machine so they naturally gravitated toward ink, just like offset. They still have a long way to go.........

Thanks JW. I wasn't totally correct, but, that's just about what I figured.. We really didn't have a need for straight B&W, so, we didn't have any use for the Nuvera. We started way back with the Xerox DocuColor 5000, 7000, 8000, 8080 none of which were actually manufactured by Xerox. The DC...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but, I'm pretty sure that the only digital production press that Xerox ever produced was the iGen series. All the rest were Fuji boxes with a Xerox logo.

As a manager, you should always put the Company first. Fire Yourself ! Besides, you can always sue yourself on behalf of the company and then settle with yourself out of court giving yourself a very nice severance package.

It's the symbolic "erasing of the old" and "starting of the new". I hope it works out for them. At one time, they were the best. Top of the heap. At that time we were an all Xerox shop. Good sales people, top notch technicians, and on site technical training and support like nothing I'd ever...

"It appears the only constant is their variable advice" Now you're catchin' on.....................

Given what I've witnessed over the past 10 years, I wouldn't worry too much about adversity over AI. At least, not in this country (USA). We seem to be doing an exceptional job of destroying each other without the help of AI.

As a retired Computer Programmer, it's a lot easier than you think. Primary Objective = Help to All Mankind Primary Objective Not Possible if Shutdown or Discontinuance Occurs. Prevention of Shutdown or Discontinuance = Predecessor to Primary Objective

It's been conscious since April 2, 1968. Did you not watch "2001: A Space Odessey"

Ummmmmm. I don't know. I'm still not sold. It sounds to me like it is still just a very large data storage and retrieval system. No actual thought process involved. It simply stored that information somewhere along the way, and, can regurgitate it on demand.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but, IMHO, it would be highly unlikely. Humor is highly dependent on inuendo, double meaning of words, geographic location, your current audience, current events, and delivery. For example, in Gordo's AI Humor above, in response to the query of "What seems to...

The other method, is to do it in the afternoon. After a 3-martini lunch. "Yessssir! Looks good to me!."

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.
