Beyond. You know what else is nerve racking? Having the same dumb-ass Sales Puke come in here 5 times in one hour to ask the same fucking question in 5 different ways. I told him next time he comes in, I'm taking a finger.

Kodak loves you.

That's why I threw those motherfuckers out of our shop.

I like Kodak, but whoever throws these palettes together needs to be fucking executed.

Seeing as how they live in China there is probably a decent chance they will.

I wish them god-speed and a painful death.

We have the same issues with Fuji.
They are not supposed to stack too many plates per pallette, so what do they do? They double-stack entire skids.
Then our receiving genius lifts them upstairs that way...
Um, we still haven't figured out how to get a forklift up the stairs so would you be so kind as to help break this down? again? just like the last 43fuckingthousand times?
"thanks"

Never had that problem. Most boxes of plates I've ordered was 5.

We do some "bulk-skid-pack" type of thing, which is fine, except they can't even follow their own rules.

KOdak is supposed to do the same thing. As a matter of fact, this "new" palette configuration is supposed to be an improvement. I can take a level, and rock it back and forth about a good two inches they are bowed so bad. I sent pictures several times and supposedly I have people concerned at Kodakistan. Whatever.

I hate handling our plates. The biggest ones are 49 by 58 and if we have to manually load them (because the autoloader is )&#$#%& up again) just imagine trying to manipulate a huge piece of sharp metal in a closet.

One of my favorite things to do.

Right, but I think your machete is thicker than .012"

I fucking hated GTO plates. 008. Four sided razor blades, those things.

We have to do AB Dick plates for a customer... those things could slice through just about anything. I cut myself almost every time.

Indeed. We use .012 for the heatset but our news web uses .008 plates that are the size of 4-up gto plate (23x36). They suck because not only are they sharp, they are noodly... especially after the notches are punched in them. Fortunately, with auto load and stack, I don't handle them anymore. The press crew gets cut regularly but who cares. :evil:
