First off thanks ISS for bringing the show to Nashville! It was however a good bit smaller than I imagined it would be. With that said, almost every brand you can think of was represented there, they just did it on a smaller scale. I met a lot of people from TSB and that was a highlight! I took my own emulsion, my own film, and my own file to truly test the Starlight, and the I-image, and guess what....they win! Pierre was nice enough to help with the tests on my stuff and the conclusion is...there is a new I-image and a Starlight w/the new conversion kit headed my way 8) Spent a lot of time with 244 on Friday and Saturday and what can I say, our industry would be at a HUGE loss without this guy. Although we don't print manually at my shop, I took the time to go over the Kruzer with 244 and it is solid! The spring system is far superior to any manual I have ever used, no flex in the arms. Danny G, your prints were all over that place! Nice stuff when you post here, but even nicer in person. Spent a good amount of time talking with Dan aswell, cool dude! Met TCT, Flying Colors, Mr Tees, some others, sorry I am forgetting others I know. I even had a good chat with Jason Rodriguez! That's right, I gave him some pointers to clear his name, I hope he follows through. CCI Gary Fox and his both were a big success, what a stand up guy, a lot of people in this industry could learn a thing or two from him. CCI has another emulsion that's 1 part, exposes 5 times faster than WR-14, but the samples were gone by the time I got to his both. A little birdy told me that a BUNCH of new emulsions that hold up to anything will be introduced soon, almost every company are in the testing stages and it will be so much easier for all of us pretty soon. I am sure I will think of more later. One more thing, Alex M from M&R, you are a gentleman and a scholar sir, thank you so much. And look out SGIA, cool stuff to make its debut there.
