I've tried several times, they are all a nightmare. I've seen fantastic work done in cinema 4d, it takes perseverance and a little bit of ocd.

There is no need to shut down, all the maintenance things the mac needs to do are done automatically. You can put it to sleep if you want, or set it to auto sleep at a set time. The loud fans on a G5... there are a couple of reasons for this one that is easily fixable, one that is less so...

Sharps bins are a good idea. Blades and coffee mugs don't mix.... I used an upturned spraymount lid for years. Nothing wrong with that, tape two together when finished, bin. Job done.

Oh, I totally agree. However, last year they implemented a locked box regime for blades. Net result... people change blades less often because it is a hassle to go and get one. You try and tell people, but oh no.... 'elf and Safely...

So absolutely no one has been told to or wears safety gloves? Please can I have a show of hands.... (no pun intended). :) It would help me to demonstrate some numbers.

As always, will have paperwork coming out of your wazoo. However they try to sell it to you. Avoid if possible. Slows every dept down with needless box ticking.

pressxchange.com They resell presses so you might get some info there.

Another option might be to print onto waterslide media. Heck back in the day I remember a friend redoing Grandfather clocks with Letraset. You don't want to know what he did to age the dials.

I like 60c 100k myself.... :icon_biggrin: THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN DONE 1. Start with a cage containing five apes. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, an ape will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. 2. As soon as the ape...

Totally the same boat. Unfortunately, there are frequently parts of the chain that suffer from the 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' model. How many times have you been 'instructed' to supply a PMS when the job is to be printed in process by some know it all (know nothing) rep...

What do you, or you company do about minimising scalpel cuts in the studio/office. I'm of the opinion that they are a bit of a natural part of the job. It is almost inevitable that you will cut yourself from time to time. In fact even with 'the talk', I find that young designers I've taken on...
