(trilema) nubbins`: and another $500 for 3rd party epson drivers
(trilema) nubbins`: so we shelled out $800 for illustrator
(trilema) nubbins`: it just barfs at the output step
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, inkscape itself is great for vector work
(trilema) nubbins`: never used it
(trilema) nubbins`: but inkscape doesn't support CMYK print output (srsly)
(trilema) nubbins`: would be nice if we didn't need it
(trilema) nubbins`: and really, we only use illustrator for printing films
(trilema) nubbins`: our usual process is pencil -> ink -> gimp -> inkscape -> illustrator -> acetate -> silkscreens -> paper
(trilema) nubbins`: generally just use gimp with a wacom tablet these days
(trilema) nubbins`: i've sepped by hand before
(trilema) nubbins`: years of poor computer posture combined with manual printing
(trilema) nubbins`: nod, my wrists aren't great
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, that's thankless work :)
(trilema) nubbins`: "we want some posters made, here's a list of things we like: interrobangs, lasers, robots, etc"
(trilema) nubbins`: the best jobs are where we're given free reign over the art
(trilema) nubbins`: for printing films
(trilema) nubbins`: but it's all loaded with super-opaque pigment inks
(trilema) nubbins`: well. we have a printer that can print color (6 tanks!)
(trilema) nubbins`: we explicitly do not own a color printer for this very reason
(trilema) nubbins`: altho our clients are generally pretty easygoing
(trilema) nubbins`: welcome to my life, heh
(trilema) nubbins`: often the artist and the printer work hand-in-hand
(trilema) nubbins`: or at the very least, had a hand in its production
(trilema) nubbins`: people have a lot of trouble with that point
(trilema) nubbins`: compared to linocut, monotype, serigraph, etc, where the prints ARE originals
(trilema) nubbins`: a giclee is just a copy of an original
(trilema) nubbins`: and each print is unique, as the linoleum squishes around and wears down
(trilema) nubbins`: it doesn't exist as a piece of art until it's printed
(trilema) nubbins`: take a linocut, for example
(trilema) nubbins`: and then finding out they're fuckin giclees
(trilema) nubbins`: in an edition of 250
(trilema) nubbins`: nothing worse than seeing people selling small "prints" for $50 each
(trilema) nubbins`: to compare a giclee to a linocut or a serigraph is truly taking the piss
(trilema) nubbins`: but they're worth the cost of the paper and inks, plus maybe $20
(trilema) nubbins`: a $250 epson can produce beautiful CMYK giclee prints
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, sure, sometimes. but that's still just dicking around on the computer
(trilema) nubbins`: producing a giclee involves making sure your ink cartridges are topped up, and clicking a mouse
(trilema) nubbins`: producing a print takes skill and effort, and each one is usually a unique piece
(trilema) nubbins`: they're closer to color photocopies than anything
(trilema) nubbins`: no, and in fact, i don't consider giclees "prints" in the traditional sense of the word
(trilema) nubbins`: tat, i have much to say on the subject of prints
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, yeah, i think the other size is a print
(trilema) nubbins`: that's an original, not a print
(trilema) nubbins`: i like to imagine him painting these with a huge rambo knife, rather than a palette knife
(trilema) nubbins`: there's better

(trilema) nubbins`: the PQ thought they had it knocked

(trilema) nubbins`: and just now, i learned that half a million acadiens moved to louisiana.
(trilema) nubbins`: and of course half the translators were quebecois and the other half were acadiens
(trilema) nubbins`: you'd have people translating the word "click", "email", etc multiple ways in the same document
(trilema) nubbins`: when i did web dev, we'd have to send message bundles off to get translated

(trilema) nubbins`: ordinateur is a brutal word

(trilema) nubbins`: took him three lines to describe the place where he would eat
(trilema) nubbins`: i know right?
(trilema) nubbins`: he then proceeded to cross out all french words in his article and replace them
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: around the time of the "freedom fries" thing, i read an article where the guy said we should stop using ALL french loanwords
(trilema) nubbins`: les québécois n'est pas français ;p
(trilema) nubbins`: although i suppose you feel the same way when you read "well, folks, let's go to the restaurant for lunch!"
(trilema) nubbins`: l'utilisation de mots anglais dans une phrase française semble un peu bizarre
