My office to put in context

where i try to do work, half my room, other half is bedroom.
I am running out of space maybe its time to invade others for space

Epson A3+ Mini Ciss Install

New printer didnt really want to install a Bulk Ciss ink system as these tend to mess up printers after a while due to air getting into the printer head. because of this i decided to go with a miniCiss. these systems are very new with limited places selling them, for this reason i bought mine from Hong kong.
Intalling the system is the same as replacing the cratrages as the miniciss is just a refillible resivor that can be refilled with out taking the cratrages out the printer. theres about 40ml ink in each cartrage so thats 2-4 times more then originals.


Colour colaboration test with original epson and miniciss print.


Above is the original RGB file


The above is a single scan of the test prints top miniciss and bottom original.
I have to say the miniciss far out does the epson originals as it seems more life like and matches the original rgb file more.
I'd recomend this mini Ciss to anyone

LG Hi-Macs Technical Briefing

Today we had part two of the LG Hi-Macs project brief which was the technical side of the matirial and what and what it can't do.
After being show stuff about the solid surface it seems i now have less ideas then before as th e lecture was kinda of draining and not very specific.
and the cost per sheet and fabrication seems to cost a lot so making anything of sugnificance is going to be difficult!

other then that today has been crap cos im ILL and feverish! dont like it.

wraped up warm and going into hybernation for a day or so to recover!

Theater: Madame Lucinda’s Wonder Show


WOW that was good! went to theater today as there was a show that sounded too good to be missed! i thought it was by far more interesting then it sounded and enjoed it. as much as i hate clowns i think this pulled it off damn well. Good Show!

COPY & PASTE:
Based on poems and text written for the Wonder Show by Anna Maria Murphy (Kneehigh Theatre, The National Theatre, BBC Radio 4) and combining Rogue Theatre’s daring style, Madame Lucinda’s Wonder Show beautifully blends the innocent with the macabre, optimism with the inescapable and the real with the fantastical.With live music, illusion, side splitting comedy, dance, explosive physical theatre and compelling narrative, the show stylistically borrows from the 1920’s Side Show and finds itself somewhere between the worlds of “Tim Burton” and “The Wizard of Oz”.Mixing circus spectacle and passion with the real, follow the unusual stories of three acts; Sirus (The Man Who Knows), Svetlana (The Living Doll) and Lo-Lo (The Clown). Marvel at the exquisite heartache, the torturous hilarity and breathtaking magic.Madame Lucinda’s Wonder Show is designed for adults and young adults; though can be enjoyed by an adventurous family audience. Tickets: £9
