I'm going to bed real early tonight...I'm being good!

does anyone know of a place in nyc where it's possible to rent time on a large format printer? i.e., somewhere I would pay an hourly + ink fee, but be able to supply my own media?

printshop pricing makes ccp look like chump change.

I want to be a sui generis lunatic force of nature when I grow up.

dude ask her out...what do you have to lose

Well, if she turns him down, he might not be able to shop at IF anymore without feeling silly...

[Fade to Black]

true...i think it's worth taking the plunge though. the worst that happens she snubs him for a date, it won't ban him from the shop...at the very least you can make a friend or friendly acquaintance, if not more.

I have an Encad Novajet, large format (60") but Ive never used it, I have been trying to get a friend to set it up for me but to no avail.....
I know it works because I bought it in working condition.........
if ever you need this in the near future you can contact me, as I WILL get it to work soon

maldoror, i don't think you can rent them. the print shops routinely finely tune them to their specifications. ink swaps, paper changes, and rentals to the general public is probably not worth it.

you can however post an ad on craigslist looking to borrow one with assistance. there are a lot of people in the city with large format epsons.

or perhaps you know of an art student with access to one.

and i don't know what you are printing, but i highly recommend laumont for the finest possible photographic prints of any kind, any size. price list is on their website.

just came across a photo on facebook of my old middle school campus, empty with just the architecture, taken from the view of the top "floor" looking down (hard to describe, but the campus is shaped a bit like an open air bowl)...man too many fucking memories looking at that shot, and not all good.

When I was younger I had a hard time understanding when people said they couldn't look at a certain image or read a certain sentence for too long or too often, that doing so can be 'too much.' Now I know, now I know...

[maldoror]

@ zamb: thanks for the offer, and def let me know. much appreciated

@ endersgame: as a business model, renting printer time certainly does not make sense. however, there's e.g., a photographic arts not for profit in philly that offers this service, and I was hoping there might be a similar organization in nyc.

mal, sorry i can't be of any more assistance. we have one at the studio but lending it is out of the question.





there's a Count in my office right now..

yes, like Count Dracula...

[galia]

Does he bite though?

[endersgame]

no, but he was told to stop using his title here in america because people would just laugh..

if i was a Count, you bet your bottom dollar it be on my drivers license..

[galia]

Yeah its lame to drop it of. He has it, he should flaunt it

Insomnia is the mistress whose company you never asked for but still won't leave your bedroom until she feels like it. Ain't that a bitch.
