Chuck out time

[David]

speaking of old stuff...

got this today, need to scan and output film for silkscreening

[Possum]

If they used a waxer, they sure didn't burnish the edges down well. That comma on a separate piece of paper is really scary.

[David]

yeah, they shoulda washed their hands, cleaned off the paper, and used clean wax.

took 30 minutes in photoshop to get rid of the cut paper edges and darken up the light black type.

[Joe]

Geeze....flashback time. Be sure to bill them extra for "vintage" prepress.

[Joe]

If someone pulls out a jar of opaque I'm leaving.

Well?

DOOR SLAMS SHUT!!!!!!!!!!11

man that take me back...

'cept it's black opaque...
if you want old school, it has to be the red mud opaque.

Nice touch with the brush as well!

yikes... all those years of touching up film... all those times i almost fell asleep on the light table...
those times hiding in the camera dark rooms and playing cards in the red light with the other apprentices.

i actually still remember it fondly

Ahhhhh....working 3rd shift in the dark room. Done that for far too many years.

I liked the red opaque. That black stuff, at least what we switched to for a while, smelled like ammonia. Yuck.

When we had a darkroom with a small revolving door, I snuck in there one time when the boss was looking for me and kept all the lights off. He came in there, saw it was dark, and left. I wasn't a foot away from him.

The outdated nature of the print industry STILL irks me, and the chincey @&#^$rs who run it.


"We don't want to pay for HD TAPES, to back-up our outdated SERVER, running the outdated SOFTWARE and system"
... "Oh here's a better (bigger) option, it will be $600+ cheaper and more efficient, but you'll have to upgrade the USB hardware as USB 1.0 won't cut it"
"That will cost us $80 ... where are we getting that from now? (mumble, grumble, incoherent bitchin)"

So true...

Ghost train moment.

We only had brown opaque, and when the ruby pens came along.....that was the cat's pyjamas!
