Stephen~ we just went through this at my shop. I don't have time right at this moment to give you a full response, but I'll update tonight.

Many, many years ago, my boss (who is like a second father to me) told me this when we were discussing salaries and cost of living: As an employee, your job is to try to make as much money as you possibly can. As an employer, my job is to try to pay as little as I can. Then we have to work...

OoO! Printers on Wheels! Portable print shops! ....sorry...too much caffeine this morning...

I love hitting the Graph Expo every year in Chicago. but it's only a 3 hour drive for me, so I don't have travel costs. it's always a great place to talk to some of the software techs face to face and see what's new and such. I don't generally hit the seminars, but if you're looking to learn...

to my knowledge, Okidata (you can also check out Xante same core machine) is the only one currently unless you go into the UV/Solvent market of wide format.

Good luck! and if you ever miss that homey smell on your way through Milwaukee, stop by. I'll show you my shop.

This one from the bill still cracks me up!! so they have to study this, build a report, and then do nothing with it. LOL

You are right, I shouldn't have generalized to him, I'm not a fan of pretty much any politician or party either. I assumed the info out of the article, which I normally don't do. ok, so our current government in all their wisdom enabled this. still annoying. Don't want to start a political...

found this from yesterday actually... http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/22/business/legislation-to-protect-against-patent-trolls-is-shelved.html?_r=0 I didn't realize that the huge surge in all this was due to a law that our lovely President passed, and now they can't get it fixed apparently...

thank you for the update, this has been a very interesting thread.

Can I express the concern that someone who apparently doesn't KNOW anything about packaging is hiring themselves out as a packaging CONSULTANT? As a packaging prepress manager...I think I part of me just died a little... LOL Ok, sorry for the sarcasm... but in all honestly Kala, if you are...

Thank you! I do love the challenging jobs. But, to be honest, this customer also pays for all this extra work. and they do it gladly. so it goes both ways. ;)

for whoever asked about what the piece looks like, I can't show you the whole piece, and I unfortunately don't have a printed one to photograph the varnish, but I have a screen shot of part of one of the photos. This photo is spot gloss on the colored splash. All the way down to the little...

Minch~ I'm not sure where the communication failure is, but this is going through at LEAST 4 different people before getting to the end printer. It's quite a mess. Bill~ Normally I would agree with you, but here is the catch. MY customer is the design agency for a huge corporation. He is...

oddly enough, that answers some of my questions from a different thread. soo wish we could get away with that here in the US...

I think the mods booted him...yay mods!

What?!?! Are you just trying to get your post count up so you can spam on the boards? That comment, or most of your others for that matter, made absolutely no sense.

rule of thumb, if the chosen color looks "bright", "vibrant", or nearly "fluorescent", 4-color printing will NOT match. try to get your hands on a Color Bridge set. Best resource for what you can and can not match. ALSO!! make sure tho watch if you are printing on both coated and uncoated...

we'll give those a try and I'll post back. might be a few days.

there is that. Although in this situation, I don't think it's a big deal. they're just looking to have CWS on a second work station to print from. I don't think that "who did what" is a big issue. aside from that, I don't think CWS tracks that kind of stuff.
