So, was it announced when Print will finally be Dead? I don't think I got the Memo.

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."

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.

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:

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 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.

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:
