Wide format being replaced?

Are there any plans to get the wide formats up and running again or to get them replaced? I have a pretty hefty amount of shows coming up soon

Creative Arts has a line on a great option for replacement, but I have not had the time recently to write a proposal for the board.
Kris did the research on my behalf, but there was not time to get a sufficiently detailed request on the agenda for last month’s board meeting. Hopefully the new year will chill out and I will have some time to write the proposal, but it’s not looking too good for the next couple of weeks.

Dear Mrs. Moose,

Can you give me an idea of quantities / sizes and media you are interested in printing on?

I’d be up for meeting you at my store on a Sunday or a Saturday after 5pm - preferably a sunday tho : ) & work out something close to the cost of printing at the Space…(not this weekend tho-my garage is calling my name). Weekdays after 6pm outside of Tues and Thurs would be options as well).

My printer is a tiny 44" wide model though…

There’s time. Massive epic print time isn’t until late Feb. and the stuff I’m slapping up on the walls so they aren’t totally barren will do just fine as engineering prints. Stock photos don’t deserve to be treated well. We’re cleaning out our garage too since the entire house must be stuffed in it this weekend too. Ah the sweet spot between way too cold and hot as Hades. I am totally coming by after tax return time so you can frame up the steamroller prints properly and probably my wedding dress. I think I’m brave enough to cut it up now. I know that is going to hurt but would rather not leave it to the tender minstrations of a hobby lobby rando :stuck_out_tongue:

I know you’re working hard on it :slight_smile: the “impress adoption lady” temps can be engineering prints. I’m not too worried about it. It was pointed out the lack of family photos makes us look like psychopaths lol

I have inexpensive (insert dms ) papers as well…

I also have a dry mount press in the event you wanted to mount them to foam board or gator board etc…

In order to make it “hurt” less - if you want to put in the sweat equity (with lessons) and do some of the work yourself (at my store - after hours) I would be okay with that.

I much prefer the 40s to sub 80s temps for garage / workshop tasks - too old for Iraq temps at home…

I have framed one of the steam roller prints …
