can you duplicate the coating
can you make a copy repeat copy of a bad AIM/LAD?
if it is silver, can you print a high, mid, low tone?
like a mystery, how does it turn out.

a good beginning and a bad ending
work both ends, bring them together as you learn


i used to teach by show the end stage -- they knew where they were headed. that is also where some people excelled while many failed.
rollup was where the better people wound in the big labs

key parts of a transmission densitometer
-- light and filter
equipment poor: buying long before need
buying too much too use
=====
prt 2
top to bottom
light, filters, film [exposure jigs] chems ---> est, eval
--- print /
light, tissue , chems, assembly jigs ---> transfer , print eval

once you have a cycle, button in the measurements , ie, densitometer permits future estimates ,, ifff your system remians stable as implemented.
greatest variables are locals -- the made to hand. by hand. did it dry, did it slip.

Ctome on Shipping & Handling

Posted on Posted in art biz, old bones, on photographers, overnight notes

art as a line item. Good for the small survivor shop. Rules to keep away the rabble while you continue to dabble.

Sometimes we post the reasons you shouldn’t do business with us. With these rules, we define our expectation — probably based upon a past dealing that failed. With these rules you eliminate future action. Why?

Perhaps because you are so “booked” that you can’t do the work. So booked, but unable, unwilling to expand your business, either with people or process. Seems like something that someone in their late ages should have solved in some way other than blocking the doorway.

Likely, this person has encountered lower interest prospects — time wasters, as it turns out. Time wasted because they don’t actually see your value. Why is that? What is it that you can’t present?

Today on the Johns site, ctome expands about custom printing – a major component is in the back room grit of shipping and handling. It is another extended sales piece — “It will be good, because, well, as I’ve said many times before: I am good.”
