Location: Omaha, NE | Al, let me know if this is inappropriate...I don't mean to offend...
Anyway, I've got a project that I need some help with. If anyone is interested in participating, there is a free custom poster in it for you.
Here's the deal: I recently got back from vacation. Like any good dad, I took a bunch of pictures. When I got back, I merged them together and printed out a poster (we have a large format printer that we use for proofs) and hung it up in my office. It turned out really great, and everyone who came through commented that we should make these for people. You can see some ideas of what I am talking about here: http://www.speedbinder.com/VacationPosters/PostersMain.htm
So, we are considering making these commercially, but before we take that step, we want to try out a few first. The proposition for you is simple: Send me eight to ten digital photos, and I'll send you a custom 24" x 32" poster. 100% free. No shipping charges, no setup charges, nothing. All I want is a couple of dozen sample projects so I can get a sense of how fast my art guys can turn these out. I also ask that you let us use images of your poster in future promotions.
Although we would prefer vacation photos, we'll do anything. If you want us to put together a poster of your guitar collection, that's fine too. Anyone go to a guitar camp this year? I'd love to do a project like that? How about a poster of the factory trip from earlier?
If you are interested, let me know at jmiller@speedbinder.com. |

They have llamas in Bangkok??? We're keeping this "PG", right?
Thanks for the interest everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing how your posters turn out. I'm confident you are going to be impressed. These things really are cool! |

Location: NJ | We'd been using Encads for a bunch of years.
Started out with one 36" machine, and then some 42"ers. We're now running about eight 60" 500's and a 1000i.
Since Encad is now imploding, we're running them till they die (which won't take long) and phasing-in HP replacements. We're up to about four DesignJet 5500's along with the Encads . . .
I'd LOVE t'get a 9000s in here . . .
(NiceLayouts, btw!) |

The pic of Cliff on the bottom row looks like he was surprised having his picture taken just after he took a hit of something. I wouldn't know what tho'..... |

Cliff, we have had really good luck with the HP's. It still amazes me just how awesome graphics technology has become. I started out in this stuff back in the late 1970's. The things we can do now is just incredible. |
