Gonna throw some gas on the fire . . . what if the "customer" wanted a racist poster made, or perhaps graphic pornography, what would the group do then, we have in the past turned down work which we found to be personally offensive or inflammatory. But, on the other hand we helped a gay group...

Gordo, I could have used either of your photos to make my point . . . I agree that there is a place for production, i.e.newspapers (the few that are left) and mass produced cars (Toyotas, Kias, Fords/Cheverolet (not counting the Ford GT or the high end Corvettes), but then lets take a look at...

Well, what really surprises me is when a "contemporary designer" comes in and wants that "letterpress look" and expects to see a debossed version of printing because they really like the look . . . I laugh and then get out the book Linotype Keyboard Operation which was published in 1940 and I...

A craftsman is not a luddite, he is a person that is proud of his work and continues to improve his skills and knowledge to improve his product. This is historically demonstrated in our industry by craftsmen going from letterpress to offset, from offset to waterless, cameras and pasteups to...

Alas . . . we are losing the craft of our industry . . . so sad

1st why do you want a DI other than the economics of the "no click charge" What is the mix of work you plan to run on it . . . all process color or mostly 1 or 2 color? If your not considering process color work you could pick up a 1 or 2 color GTO and get a laser plate setter (we use a Xerox...

Been a while since we had and indigo, it was a Turbo1000 and paper sticking to the blanket is a real bug a boo. As i recall there is or was a 'release layer" that facilitates 100% in transfer to the sheet. I am assuming that your press was ready to print and the blanket was up to temp. You can...

We had a graphic wizzard perf/number machine early on . . .. it did the job and hopefully they have improved them over the years we kept ours about 2 years and then basically threw it away . .. personally if the space is not an issue I would surely keep the GTO even for one run a week . . and...

Si, I was focusing on Craigs suggestion of a graphic wizzard for the crash numbering . . . Is the square footage the press takes up that big an influence? Do you make the plates inhouse . . . if you don't need the space and you make your own plates at a low cost I would keep the GTO and maybe...

Si, does your GTO have the numbering attachment? . . . if it does you already have a device that will crash # and do a bunch of other stuff with quality and a low cost per impression . . . .

The only thing to look at is the click charges . . . a plate is 20 bucks a run but click charges are forever . . . . we run them both ways depending on the job.

A long time ago in a land far away quad tones were run . . . but Turbo your right tritones are plenty dense enough back in the 90's we ran some of Ansel's work and they were just a little picky . . . would be a lot easier today . . it was still film and halftones back then . . . .

My father worked in the Newspaper industry till we got into commercial printing . . it was amazing to see that iron running when I was 5 years old . .. just as amazing today . .. and just not the press but the composing room with what seemed like 100's of linotypes all clacking away . . . and...

I have experienced the same thing, when you open the force quit window it will show InDesign to be not responding . . . but after a bit (go take a walk around the shop) it usually starts up again - I'm running an 3-4 year old Imac retina with 32 gigs of ram

No . .. stay on the gravel and bill them for that extra special embossing effect . . .

Well . . apparently they didn't talk to his sister . . . . https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/wait-princes-favorite-color-orange-172105854.html

Naw Gordo . . . it uses the latest in communication . . . optical connection to the pressman and a loud yell (analog/auditory) to the foreman . . .

Ahh yes, those were the days . . . when gears were exposed and presses were dangerous . . . what I don't miss is having to copperize the rollers once a week or so . . .

Guru . .. you should have been a lawyer . . . they specialize in "Straining at gnats and swallowing camels" . . . and throwing common sense under the bus.
