Once upon a time back when I was a corporate warrior, my boss got off a PSA flight in San Jose CA. At the time at this airport you exited the airplane down a set of stairs onto the tarmac and then walked into the terminal. When he was making for the terminal something dripped off of the airplane...

That someone did not pay you is a civil matter. Running out and repossessing whatever it is they didn't pay for is a criminal matter. Know the difference and know that the two thing have little to nothing to do with each other. Stealing you work back, and make no mistake in the eyes of the law...

Is there some time limit that after which something becomes art? Before which it's not? Still nothing more that digital farkling around no matter how long it takes. No technology, no art it would seem. Which lends some credence to the notion that the technology is at least as much art as what...

Just do it in whatever setup you're using in Production Manager. It's about the 4th tab over in the setup specifications dialog or the job dialog for that matter, the tab that looks like a printer. You can set the heaters from the control panel but, if memory serves, they still won't start to...

Is a particular arrangement of pixels art? Perhaps in the sense that most anything is considered art these days. Digital creations would seem to be far too dependent upon the tools needed to create and display them to be compared to a traditional work, say, a Monet or a Wyeth or something. It...

it's not so much turning them off as fooling them. For the cover I cut a couple of pieces of wood that fit into the slots at each side of the platen where the little plastic pieces on the cover make the interlock switches. That's what these things are called; interlocks. They don't have to be...

That's true but my external storage is a 2TB passport drive that gets plugged in, machine is backed up, and the the drive is disconnected. So, yeah, if some buttcrust grabs me during the 45 minute backup then I'm hosed. What are the odds? I guess I could make them 100% in my favor merely by...

If you back up your machines to external storage then what's the big deal? Just replace everything necessary, give Ahmed or Mustafa or whomever the finger, and get on with your life. If any one of these a$$holes should find their way onto any machine of mine, and good luck with that, not a...

Just dig a trio of holes maybe 30" or so, insert post, back fill in three lifts, pack each lift with the handle of your shovel. It won't go anywhere. When you back fill always, as in always, push the dirt onto the shovel towards the hole, never away from it. That way you'll have enough dirt...

Mystery solved or at least deferred. Fellers, for the second time in a week, sent the wrong media. They sent a roll of MPI 1005 instead of MPI 1105. The only way I could tell was looking up the end of the roll with a flashlight, Go figure,Totally different vinyl according to the Avery guy...

To answer all of the questions asked above: Using Flexi Production manager, as I have been for many years. Head check is just fine. OEM inks. Using an Oracal 3651G profile diddled a bit with higher dither and gradient algorithms. Rendering intents are 'No Color Correction' for everything...

Upon advice of counsel I bought a roll of Avery MPI1105 Super Cast Easy Apply. I loaded in my printer, Mutoh 1204, and attempted to print an image I've printed many times on Oracal 3751RA. This time the areas of black printed as a badly banded medium charcoal gray. OK says I, I changed the black...

What he said. Level doesn't mean much on a vehicle. Just eyeball it. When you get it right on one side then you can measure what you've done and make the other side match it. Or just eyeball both sides. Looking right has little to do with being level or square to some point not on in the...

Unfortunately the only thing correct about this mid-air collision is the character spacing of the 'Mobile Home Park'. Since this type face, as do most Roman faces, works far better in upper and lower case the character spacing when it's all caps can look a little strange but typographically it's...

Twaddle. I'd give long odds that if you were presented with an array of like sample from all of the different brands you could not select the Sintra sample with any accuracy beyond chance.

Oracal not that great? Really? And what the hell are 'cals'? Some sort of clever slang for 'decals'? If so what do you do with the time you save eliminating one syllable or two keystrokes? You might want to give serious thought to educating yourself and your clients. Generally and...

The point, which seems to scoot right past you, is that a machine that prints and cuts using the same transport and positioning tackle for both functions neither prints as well as a printer that just prints nor cuts as well as a cutter that just cuts. Moreover, if you don't have room for a...

If this represents a mystery to you perhaps you might give some thought to taking up some other trade. Nonetheless, if you don't have a laminator or a Big Squeegee, you mask it, hinge it, and squeegee it down. Admittedly this method with this size takes a bit more finesse than applying a...

The thing is you only don't know how to do something once. You learn how and then you know how. Forever. At which time you might look at your tackle with the training wheels and have second thoughts.

Especially since I took Peabody to the pound.
