It's the REAL THING! and....the eclipse just passed Vandiver about an hour ago. Spectacular!

Toast to ya for your always excellent contributions. Only one word for you, "RESPECT". D Ink Man

Good one Pritch and ain't it the truth today in this new millennial world we're mired in. Yeah I know two in a row, you can't believe it. Better than Beetle Bailey. D

One of my biggest problems I'll share and please don't laugh; remember to pull your zipper up. D

You all are fortunate, there is one customer that will only view colour under the presence of a solar eclipse. They will be very busy Monday, but the cylinders will stop turning until year 2024. D

This may make it more understandable. Ink, 20% pigment containing. One has pig 12 (Strong), one has pig 174 (Weak). Pig 12 ink prints 4x higher density value versus Pig 174 ink. Let's say Pig 12 prints ay yellow density number of 1.30, (I know that's high for reflective density). Let's say Pig...

It is a rare boss that is interested in any input from mothers, unless it benefits them without upsetting any of the upper rung apple carts above them. Good, humanitarian elitists are as rare as hen's teeth in my experience. They worry about the profit and dollar, sure; as long as it ends up in...

Good job and realization Ricki. Remember, a chimpanzee can wear a suit. You got it now! I like that. D Ink Man

Pln, does your significant other know about the /20? We can keep it a secret, no one will tell. D

From an ink makers standpoint, we match single color spot in any light we want to. Unless the print customer sends in copy, a color swatch, all commitments are back burnered. Even if a customer sends a chip, they still have to specify what light source for an expected exacting match. METAMERISM...

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Evidence herewith. Any design ideas for a gay wedding? Just price it in. :) D

Be yourself, anything else is a complete falsehood (lie) and will easliy be read by the intelligent elitists. Note: Not all, in fact many elitists are not intelligent. You have to be intelligent enough to identify the true ones with wisdom. After that, being yourself will be paramount in any...

A standard 'letter size' 8.5 x 11 is used just because it is a 'standard' size. 93.5 square inches just happens to be the consequencing result. Back to one pound usage> Coated paper, 'standard size' SOLID coverage. 100,000 impressions will use 30 pounds of ink, coated paper. By calculation...

Benny and the Jets can do it, no prob.

Be yourself firstly, listen sincerely and only then will you know what to add to the fray. ;)

Either way keith1, you will feel good or you will feel good about it. Time shall tell. D

Must be very close friends to even entertain the idea. Customers = Friends. The pain and sacrifice will pay off exponentially if you indulge. Sometimes you have to do what your instinct and knowledge tell you not to do. Everything is not about the ever loving dollar. Good Samaritans will always...

hardtemper, I looked at that and that is OK, however back to my EZ formula using offset as Standard. I am better awake now. Offset Ink 1 lb. of ink for a solid sheet 8.5 x 11 will give you 3,333 impressions on coated stock. 1 lb. of ink for a solid sheet 8.5 x 11 will give you 2,222 impressions...

hardtempwer, you are correct. 30 lbs. for 100M, 1/2 coverage 15 lbs., 1/4 impression count = 3.75 lbs. Thank you for correcting that. Proof that someone is paying attention. Thank you. D Ink Man

I would say that ink consumption is directly related to ink density and the pigment load of a given ink. If you are delivering the same real, actual density to alike substrates, the ink consumption can be directly correlated. So here in layman terms is the understanding. Let us take an offset...
