Title: Too many films
Post by: farmboygraphics on February 12, 2025, 01:37:04 PM
Doing some early spring cleaning and clearing out old (decades) films. I made two little roll around carts with coroplast hangers out of frames a few years ago which did a really nice job.
The cart that's empty will get a board on top and used as a roll around table and the folders will get squirreled away someplace because I can't throw a damned thing away. I've saved repeat customers and think I'll just print and toss any new films I make moving forward.

Toss the super profitable jobs first so they get re-ordered as soon as you throw them away.

That is so true when I go through old film folders and toss them, they come in a few days or a week later to order LOL

Way too much money and time to save, file, fine and re-burn. Just re-print the films and save time and money.

One of the things us cavemen still use, like registering screens by tapping them.  :o

Makes me harken back to the early days of Harlequin, Oats, JNJ  where all designs were/are repeat runs. Tens of thousands of films in hanging files. Or at Harlequin Nature Graphics..........a shipping container!
