What digital presses should my company look at?

[Ear]

Spider's nest of network cables?

Yes, I've taken out the company's internet a couple times. :embarrassed:

Yeah, but that's no big deal. Nick, however, IS a big deal. It's like unleashing the Kraken from Clash of the Titans. He is bitchy. Even worse than me.

Relating Nick to the Kraken makes me picture this.

[frailer]

Yeah, they did the same thing here with a Canon 7010VDP install. The thing vents right into where I sit with another prep guy. We ended up attaching some vents to it so it at least ducted mostly up into the ceiling. Then a Canon tech came through & said that would void our service agreement and we had to remove the vents. Asshole, you're the one who said it had hardly ANY exhaust smell, and then said we could attach the vents too!

Make the venting 'removable-on-demand'. When he's due to come out, remove/hide. When it breaks down, your compadre calls while you remove/hide it.

Those exhaust fumes are good for you.

You know IT guys, if they can't sit and do "research", they complain.

Did they have to install some sort of large power convertor box thingy (No IT experience obv.) when they put your imagepress in?


We have this 4' x 3' x 3' box that stabilizes incoming power before it goes to the imagePress.

We have that on our platesetter.

Oh and we have a large fan directing hot exhaust from the back of the machine which feeds into another fan that blows the hot air right in the walkway toward our "breakroom".

Literal sweatshop?

go visit a heatset web shop during the summer and you'll count your blessings. At the old place people would literally drop from the heat and have to be taken out by paramedics.

[Ear]

My posse. I've seen it well over 130 back in our shop when the ovens are running. The heatsets each have gas ovens the size of a delivery van, running full tilt. Have had paramedics here for heat stroke victims.

My favorite thing in the middle of the summer is when a pressman comes into prepress looking like he's about to have a heat stroke...I casually ask him if it feels cold in here. :evil:

yeah they love that one 

the old shop bought a commercial ice maker and had 5 gallon buckets of gatorade all over the shop floor. Eventually they also put in giant exhaust units on the roof, which really helped.

Someday... someday I might be back there. Miss the big boys.

I heard strange noises (stranger than usual) coming from the men's room, one hot summer day. Went in and found one of the older guys on the floor, visibly dazed and sweating like a pedophile in a Barney suit. I called 911 and charged the mini defib machine. I wanted to zap him but he wouldn't let me.  Paramedics showed up quickly.

CLEAR!

I wonder if we have one of those here, it gets sorta boring sometimes and I feel like I need a little pick-me-up.

[Skryber]

You have a defib machine?? Oooooh man. Good times??
