Gordon, my prediction or hope is that I will be able to get a printer to demonstrate my Ink Transfer Blade (ITB) and have the results made public.
Wouldn't it be such a nice development for the printing industry to find out how easy and low cost it is to get rid of the problems of ink water balancing.
It would also raise the question of why they could not figure this out for such a long time.
From what I have recently read, the tipping point for digital presses is not so close after all. There is still a great potential to get fundamental control over the offset printing process with out a high cost.
Have a great year and I hope all your positive predictions come true.
If you do what you love to do you'll never have to work a day in your life. If your heart is in art then that's what you should do. If you just want to make money, or a living, then my advice is that you learn a trade and become a plumber. No one complains about the cost when the toilet is backing up and $hit is flowing where it shouldn't be.
