anybody at FESPA?
« on: June 28, 2013, 02:06:26 PM »
something's come up and I had to cancel the trip to FESPA. 'anybody here go? I am sure we will hear more about it as the time goes by, but would be nice to get some info right now.

Hopefully I did not miss anything important as we already had the tickets and not going will cost us almost a $1K! 'getting really tired of not making it to all these places, this is three in a row now.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

I liked www.virusinks.com most. They get better inks all the time. And they were better than anything else two Fespas ago

Magna Colours/ Nazdar has nice products. And had great lectures with Mark Gervais about WB inks.

www.factoryorganiser.com i liked.

M&Rs CHIII dry cycled at 2600 pcs/hr extremely smooth. Real beauty.  However sound of printhead lift/drop was really noisy and annoying. I heard it across the whole hall.

Other than that, nothing worth mentioning. Maybe I just wasn't thorough enough.

Perhaps the increased production will cover the expense of earplugs for the staff.  ;)
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Boris-
Did you happen to go by the S.Roque booth? I was wondering if they had one of their oval presses there. When I asked them they said they hoped to have one there but couldn't confirm yet(when I asked). I'm gonna be pissed at myself for not going if they had one there!

Yeah, the Virus Ink line has fascinated me for awhile. They have a distributor in Oregon but have never had a chance to play around with it. If they make discharge inks that last for 6 months why can't all discharge inks be that way? But I am not a chemist so that might be some pretty harsh stuff in there!

Hi Rich - How are you awake right now? I thought the show was over yesterday. You continue to astonish me with your work ethic. 
Are there any videos of Omar's latest feat?

The video will be posted soon. Joe frm our Oceanside office was there and did the shoot. It will take a couple of days to edit for viewing
