The Print-Media Congress, which takes place from 22. to 24. September 2010 at the ZDF broadcasting centre in Mainz, deals with three key issues:
- Strategy, prepress production
- Print to post print production
- ePublishing, Mobilmedia and services
The organiser is the Federal Association of Printing and Media, which is staging this event to address agencies, prepress providers, print shops and print processors. About 50 speakers from the industry explain the various sectors, forms and characteristics as well as the trends of print and media production. Information requests and applications can be made under fax number +49 (0)611-803194 or by email under info(at)print-media-forum(dot)de.
So, was it announced when Print will finally be Dead? I don't think I got the Memo.
Yeah a bunch of dried up old codgers explaining to trench-workers how it's done. Make me laugh. :laugh:
Yup, just like GraphExpo is this week, so all the sales slime will have these "new, fantastic ideas!!" on how to reviatalize our business. Things like QR codes & intelligent mail etc. that they really have NO understanding of & then in a few months it'll back to the same old crap. :rolleyes:

Bitch, I do a lot of pharmaceutical boxes here. I also do condom boxes. Jealous?
That reminds me, I got to show you the newest condom box... it's a riot. The last one was called "The Stimulus Pack."

Pardon me... could you move that package up a wee bit. I can't make it out for the glare.

Does this "glare" talk to you? Tell him to screw himself. This isn't Olan Mills.

Here, the back is the best part anyway...

Hahaha, yeah, I forgot to flip it. Just tryin' to be nice to the old man.
Shouldn't the material be brown? The white rubber won't match.
It's somewhat translucent. The "base" color shows through.
I see you still got the EIZO box there, DCS. Jealous. :sad: Right now trying to figure the best way to shield the fluoros further up the room so they don't reflect off the new iMac screens. I now can watch myself age on a daily basis. :laugh:
And man those things get hot. Instead of 'ribbing' the back surface, which would have added 2 or 3 times the cooling surface, like the LaCie external drives, Apple opted for the 'look'. Design over function.

Turn them off? :tongue:
Seriously though, I am surrounded by fluorescent lights and I don't get any glare on my iMac. I did have to lower the brightness of the iMac though to keep it from burning my retinas out.

Dumbass, I was talking about the glare from your head!! :laugh: :laugh:
I recently had to move furniture again because the fluoro reflections were driving me nuts. Now my Mac faces a wall and I've had a bunch of the ceiling tubes removed so my area is more like a cold, dark cave.
We are at the end of one large room, which has everything, including setter. Fluoros...angle of incidence=angle of reflection. :shrug:
Then again, outa sorts this morning...take no notice. :laugh:
When we had our prepress area built we paid extra for these lights which are supposed to be made for use in computer areas. I guess they work.

I'd love to know how. Might have to ask Sir Isaac Newton. :laugh:
I don't know the details but we were given the choice of regular fluorescent lights or these that are made for offices with computers and they are supposed to have less glare then normal ones. Of course we chose those lights and I remember the company had to pay extra for those over the regular ones.
I've considered surrounding my work area with black curtains, kind of like the Wizard of Oz. I'd put a sign out that says either "Open" or "Go Away" (if I'm at lunch).

I've always pictured your work area as kind of a dimly lit area with a fog surrounding it and moss growing on the wall.
No, actually I work on a patch of hard dry dirt with some cacti surrounding my desk (keeps the CSRs away) and a fan.
You must be thinking of DCS's area but you forgot to mention the blood splatters & rotting brain chunks on the wall (former salesmen). Let's examine his condom shots from earlier today and prove it.

New Photoshop contest? Create your vision of DCS's work area.... :laugh:
That actually sounds fun. Where's Rat? Can I extend the deadline?

We have Parabolic diffusers on our overhead florescent lights. Keeps the light going straight down instead of spreading outward. Helps a ton with the glare.
kinda like these:

I could just take a picture, but that wouldn't be any fun. I just shaved my dome, so I don't think photos can be taken anywhere around my glowing head. It's quite angelic. :angel:
What about Joe?
Well, he's not your average Joe...
I had concerns about your relationship with DCS and how he appears to be doting on Tap lately.

Tap and I share a common friend... the GLARE! He talks to it, too.

You sound like that is a bad thing. Hell, I'll pay tap to adopt him.
Forsaken with every post. Novembers coming up soon, too. :rolleyes:
Just getting warmed up for the event.
I figured.
What's up with my nose burning when I burp?
Quote from: Peon on October 06, 2010, 11:13:38 AMWhat's up with my nose burning when I burp?
Sounds like a combination of the swine flue, the ebola virus, and irritable bowel syndrome.
That'll be $250.00.
Acid Reflux. You have 3 weeks to live.
:offtopic:
You have 24 hours to live. :tongue:
Finally.
I think it's the Coke coming back up my nose, WTF
I have the same issue but I'm blaming it on last night's thai food.
Quote from: Peon on October 06, 2010, 11:47:10 AMI think it's the Coke coming back up my nose, WTF
You're supposed to snort coke from the front, not the back. Can someone give Peon a lesson, please?
