Photocopier Surfing

So like one might sofa surf, I am now photocopier surfing.

I've been in a secret location on a digital Konica Minolta machine and have done 640 copies in 3 hours.

The blacks are good, the textural quality is good.

This is the answer for the single pages, often single as attached to colour.

Not sure whether to re-do some colour if the reverse image needs to be solid black.

'Old Konny' at Stew is not doing her blacks anymore, not without a lot of pfaffing and warming of the room, removing condensation from the machine and warming the machine.

The only task in all of this is cutting, flattening and then precision cutting wall lining paper to A3.

It's a world I have created with Sal, we will live in it for a while yet.

Book Building is full on.
Sal and I took a stocktake of all the printing since the beginning of August......
I gathered the info and tried to create optimistic % s....but the truth is we are not half way.
In the region 19,000 pages printed, but with a total knocking on 52,000.......sigh

So, a massive focus to turn things around, see what is to be done, see if there are easier ways.

The ugly truth is though that I am having to print pages twice to get the blacks black.....hmmmmm

I'm liking the zone, my daily routine takes me across town in the gales with a bundle of prints to be cut to size.
Then over to Stew for printing.
Then home for paper chopping, collect more stuff for the the machine at printers to chop in bulk.
Stride across town in the gales with a bundle of prints to be cut to size.
Then over to Stew for printing.
Then home for a rest, more paper chopping, listen to music, write lyrics ( good ones and crap ones )
Then drink some whisky.
