Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
What is the typical ink consumption on one of these guys?Screens per liter?
You touched on something I haven't much talked about in the CTS discussion. When we went CTS years ago, our artists were the biggest opponents. (too many reasons to discuss here) They turned into the biggest fans after some changes in procedures in the art department. This also led to fewer mistakes, less wasted time and materials, and an all around stronger department. But I know we can't measure intangibles. I could write a short novel on improvements in this area alone, but won't even try.

It's kinda like a new tax or law. You can say "if we increase this tax by 1% it will lead to an increase of $xxx" when in reality it changes behaviors as well and never has the same effect people think it will.You can measure numbers all day long in a vacuum, but real world can be totally different. As long as the human element is involved it's nearly impossible to calculate ROI with exact numbers. Take for example Alan's pressure washer. He was thinking that it would save him trips to Home Depot, instead they are getting through screens faster and they are cleaner than before, which is something he didn't anticipate. Which helps further down the line with emulsion longevity, pinholes and overall screen processing speed.I am sure there was a way to say this in less words...this is why I fail at twitter.
