[ ... ] I have an heavy duty laser printer. The laser is the size of my hand. It shines on a rotating reflector (high quality) and prints the letters and pictures on the drum of the printer - the drum transports the magnetized ink onto the static paper and into the burner/hot head. Delivers out a 1200 dpi print. Laser is better than spec - I buy high quality ink/drums normal is 600, high quality is 1200. I gave one to my son for some high tech show and tell - don't know if it is gas, ruby, or diode. Figure it is ruby from the age. I think unlikely. The ruby lasers require a bright flash of light surrounding the ruby rod to pump it and some form of optical switch (the ones which I saw were a rotating prism) to generate a single pulse. Then you have to wait for the caps to charge back up to fire the flashlamp again -- and water to flow through the assembly to carry away the heat. The laser printer needs a continuous output which can be modulated. While a gas laser can be a continuous output, it is hard to modulate to generated the dots. So a diode laser is the best bet for a laser printer. Laser affixed and the 1/1200th or less of a line is spit out serially. drum rolls and another is sent. Very high speed mind you. At 1200 DPI, if the paper width is the usual (letter size 8-1/2" width -- and assume 1/4" margin on each edge), a single dot is 1/(8*1200), or 1/9600th of the whole line length.

Does she do non-mafia writing? -- A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one's life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself. -- Louis L'Amour I never thought of it being mob related. What is "KU"? Kindle Unlimited, which I mentioned in the previous post. Her main character is "Stephany Plum" a young, out of work cutie that starts work for her cousin as a bounty hunter for which she is totally unprepared. Her adventures and situations provide the humor. The books read fast and I've looked forward to the next for years. The way the first book started, it had a mafia feel to it, which turned me off. Sest lavvy, wot? After reading Tom's recommendation I found a copy of Stephany Plum #1 and found it a good read. While I wasn't raised in New Jersey, I was raised in a small town in New England, but the story with everyone being related to, or knowing everyone else, sort of sounded like any small town :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

Just jump in. It's pretty exciting to watch -- especially, right now, in the field of lasers for manufacturing. That's why we started _Shop Floor Lasers_ a month ago: www.shopfloorlasers.com I'm going to Fabtech in Atlanta next month. I'll report from the front. I subscribed and read the site. Fascinating! Thanks for the link. Good. I hope you enjoy it. That was the first issue. It starts its regular, every-other-month schedule in January. And, although I'm on the top of the masthead, that's just an internal thing. It's really edited by Abbe Miller, who is first-class. I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do with it. If you want to see a trade magazine article that's about as good as it gets, read her article "Best of Both Worlds -- Hybrid Laser Welding." Great! BTW is she a lead authority in lasers or fabrication? I mean does she have a great following on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. or any of the print trade manuals ? |
