Hi Anna,
[ Bcc:ed to apo-printshop@mit.edu - both to keep you all up to speed
and for these comments:
* if a press op or partially trained brother is in the APOffice
when Anna is, please Anna here either inspect the reg day card
type block, or find a sample in the Shop's sample boxes.
* The several times I've supervised this job, the biggest delaying
factor is reinking the press, every 600-700 impressions.
We should probably put all three rollers on the press, as well as
the ink distributor, I've recently donated to the shop, to try and
get more impressions per inking. I think the added time spent
cleaning the press, will be less then the time wasted reinking it.
If Anna and Grant want to, we could try to get the fountain going
as well.

Works fine as far as I know. I should be available then.
They may not completely dry, if we print them that weekend, especially
on Sunday. But if we don't have all the dates until then ...
> Is there a way to look up what (text, etc) was printed last time?
You might find printed samples on top of the wooden desk next to the
soda refrigerator. There should also samples in the Shop's Sample
boxes. Any press op or trainee could help you find the boxes.
Yeah, the block I printed with last time is in the press shop. Just
look around in the shelves, you should be able to spot it. (It should
have one of the printed Reg Day cards rubber banded to it).
Anna:
Be VERY CAREFUL lifting the gallery trays out, and inspecting them.
They are heavy. And the rubber bands that hold blocks together break.
Dropping type can damage it, and sorting mixed up (aka pied) type
takes a lot of time.

Friday 21 Jan, you should go to the Cat Shelter building project. ;-)
But Sunday works for me there.
We could get you up to speed on the shop and printing 4p Sun 23 Jan,
and also get the type block modified then. Then print the next weekend.
> Do you think 3500 (5hrs) is likely enough cards? too many?
I think 3000 should be enough.
OK with me. Unless how many hours there were with no cards in
September, and how many per hour are picked up.
> I'll work on getting cards this week. Do you know who that contact is?
Wayne Johnson (wayneb) at the registrar's office.

You should also get the Book Exchange PC, and the MVP to give the
dates times and places ASAP.
