I did not mean to imply that Jon was at fault. If fault could really be
placed, which I'm not to sure it could be, it would have been with us
for not bringing our own equipment, or with the printer suppliers for
not allowing us access. I enjoyed the limited conversations I had with
Jon. He even brought Colorspan, Epson and us together for a powow,
which, while it didn't accomplish much, did show his concern for trying
to get some of our paper in the que.
I guess we should not have expected the same treatment we recieved in
prior years. The Studio was a whole new animal this year. Thanks for the
endorsement of the GUARDIAN PAPER.  Now if you could just send a sample
print back o us :-)
