This week's survey

After quoting and setting up artwork, have you found your design being used by another printer? Do you charge the client or just let it go?

(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)

Last week's survey results...

How do you dispose of the ink in your waste ink tank in the printer?

Via the Chemical Clean-Out days (once a year). Bottle is labelled (e.g. eco-solvent ink).
Burn it off in a drum (Solvent ink used) 1 liter per year approx.
Nothing at this stage, will be interested to read the comments.
Use it as a weed killer.
Its kept in a bottle in our shop, not sure what to do with it.
I have heard that some people paint their floors with it?? We just dig a hole in the garden and pour it in the hole.

(As a publishing practice to protect ourselves from any potential liability, company and individual names that are referred to negatively in any of these comments are removed.
In addition we reserve the right to remove comments that are blatant advertising for one product or company)

Smile: It's only Monday!

In a dark and hazy room, peering intently into a crystal ball, the Gypsy Mystic delivered extremely grave news:
"There's no easy way to tell you this, so I'll just be blunt.
Prepare yourself to be a widow.
Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."

Visibly shaken and with tears starting to appear in the corners of her eyes,
the wife stared at the woman's lined face,
then at the single flickering candle,
then down at her hands.
She brushed away the tears, took a few deep breaths to compose herself and stop her mind from racing.
She simply had to know.

She met the fortune teller's gaze, steadied her voice and asked,

"Will I be acquitted?"
