    Over 50 unemployed Prepress Tech, should I call it quits for printing?

    WOW! Feel for you there, it´s not just you, a lot of people are in the same situation including me, at least until about two years ago, being over 50 is the new plague. luckily I have now found a job doing what I was doing 20 years ago, but hey! Beggers can´t be choosers. The slope you are on is...

    From employee to freelancer for the same company!

    Really depends on which EU country you are residing in, EU rules and regs are patchwork at best. But most countries won´t stand you freelancing for just one or sometimes even two "customers" as they will assume that you are pseudo-freelancing and trying to get around the wage by-costs and...

    WATER MARK Printing in OFFSET

    I wonder if you could get a watermark effect by a clever use of ghosting? You know that irritant that all good printers try to avoid like the plague.

    Net Neutrality and the Printing Industry

    Methinks people are missing the point, I don´t think that the danger is having to pay through the nose for faster services but in the way information is freely accessed. For instance what if the Republican powers behind your ISP don´t like your left wing snowflake attitude and decide to censor...

    Remember the good old days of film?

    True, my memory is playing tricks with me it would seem, but then again, it was a loong time ago.

    Rubylith, yes, that was the brand name on the bottle if I remember, but we called it Blutlaugensaltz or blood alkaline salt.

    How do you name files?

    My system is, for instance, let´s pick a name out of my ass: "Slammer´s delight" Then Slammer´s delight 1 through 10, then Slammer´s delight final, then Slammer´s delight final final, after that we get to. Slammer´s delight final, final final, then Slammer´s delight honestly the last frikking...

    Remember the good old days of film?

    I suppose it will date me most horribly if I were to mention "Staromat" and "Diatronic" as well as "Stripfilm" and "Blutlaugensalz" red and yellow (Kaliumhexacyanidoferrat, don´t know what you call it in the english speaking bits of the world) By the way just heard today that the parts I ordered...

    It seem ATAMS vanished without a trace, at least on the internet.

    Remember the good old days of film?

    Hmm! The deeeeeeep processors, always a joy to clean, the largest one I worked on could take a 2500cm wide and 5000 cm long film done on a huge Misomex punch-card step and repeat. And yes you got films stuck on the bottom roller of the fixer bath or it threw a cog or something else that required...

    Your Pension is Safe

    Reminds me of the German politician Norbert (Nobby) Blüm shouting out: "Our pensions are safe!" The cartoonists had a field day with that one, the caption says: "And ours?"

    Hello Everyone

    I think that the only games I play or have played are Mahjong, tetris, Bolo (on a mac) and that thing with the centipedes. Oh and Pong.

    This seems to be the start of a wonderful international cooperation to rebuild this processor. Normally such a device would be junked at first glance, but not here on the lovely island of Malta, here things tend to be used and used and then refurbished and used again. The company that I work for...

    Workflow and Color management

    Hope to be setting up a Prinergy Entry system at a customers and I am really liking what I see, all the good bits of Prinergy without the nail-bite Oracle database.

    Remember the good old days of film?

    You are correct, the dev is deeper that the other two baths and now that you mention it I do seem to remember that "old" processors needed to run faster and I also seem also to remember that you could use a higher water to chem mix ratio. In the meantime a kind soul in Germany sent me a copy of...
