HEREZ AN OUTRAGIOUS SITO-ARTIST IDEA: I HAVE THIS(SITTING IDLE FOR MONTHS) BRAND-NEW-NEVER USED,EPSON 7600 WIDE FORMAT 24 INCH PRINTER THAT COST ME ABOUT 35 HUNDRED DOLLARS. I LIVE IN AN VERY DRY DESERT AREA NEAR PARKER AZ. ON THE COLORADO RIVER-CALIFORNIA SIDE OF THE RIVER. IRONYS OF ALL IRONYS,I HAVE YET TO FIRE-UP THIS AWSOME PRINTER,BECAUSE,AFTER I GOT IT-SET IT UP,AND UNFORTUNATLY FOUND(TOO LATE) IT IS TOO DRY(TRY 9% HUNIDITY)TO OPERATE,UNLESS(READ 7600 DIARY) IT IS USED EVERY DAY!!THE PRINT HEADS CLOG,AND IT NEEDS A HUMID AREA,LIKE PORTLAND FOR BETTER RESULTS. MY OPTIONS OF SELLING THIS PRINTER TO SOMEONE IN A HUMID AREA,ON E BAY ARE GOOD,BUT MY THOUGHTS DRIFTED TO ALL THE PORTLAND-HARD-WORKING-ARTISTS- VOULNTEERS,AND THEIR MANY YEARS OF UNSELFISH WORKS,WHICH COULD POSSIBLY PLAY INTO AN OUTRAGIOUS IDEA: IN SANTA MONICA CALIF. AREA,THERE RESIDES AN GALLERY-FRAME-SHOP THAT CATERS TO 'STARVING' ARTISTS,VIA THE ...USE OF AN EPSON 7600 PRINTER,WHICH ALLOWS THIS CLEVER GALLERY(USING THE EPSON PRINTER AS THEIR 'ENGINE' TO DRIVE THE SALES) TO SURVIVE,BY PROVIDING PRINTING -FRAME/GALLERY EXHIBITING SERVICES TO LOCAL AND NET ARTIST,VIA THE FULL SERVICE SHOP,AT VERY REASONABLE COSTS!IF I SOLD MY PRINTER,I WOULD PROBABLY USE THEM-OCASIONALY,BUT WHY NOT ALL VOULNTEER,SITO-INSTEAD? ALL I NEED IS TO RECOVER MY COST OF THE PRINTER,AS THIS COULD BE DONE WITH A PRINTING-SERVICES 'CREDIT',WITH PRICES SIMILAR TO THE SANTA MONICA IDEA. ANY SITO ARTIST SALES % ,SAY 30%, WOULD ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SITO GALLERY SCENARIO? AND BY ME PROVIDING THE PAPER+CD OR NET SENT IMAGES TO BE PRINTED AND THEN PLACED IN THE NEW 'SITO GALLERY' IN PORTLAND,OR 'TUBE' MAILED TO ME ? AM WONDERING IF THERE IS A FRAMING BUSINESS IN PORTLAND OR SOME OTHER BUSINESS WITH (FREE?)FLOOR SPACE FOR THE GALLERY-PRINTER,EVEN A CUBBY HOLE SPACE,AT LEAST FOR A WHILE,FOR FREE? THERE ARE LOTS OF DETAILS TO BE WORKED OUT,BUT I SEE MY PRINTER BEING USED(AS THE ENGINE) TO IT'S COMMERCIAL POTIENTAL ,WITH AN ALL SITO-VOULNTEER-PRINTING SERVICES/GALLERY SALES?I KNOW OF AN JEROME AZ ARTIST OWNED GALLERY THAT THRIVES ON THIS VOULNTEER IDEA. IF THIS SANTA MONICA GALLERY/ PRINTING SERVICES CAN WORK,THEN WHY NOT SITO VOULNTEERS DOING THIS,AND LAUNCHING A SITO-ARTIST IMAGES GALLERY? JON VAN OAST,WE ARE FAMILAR-GOOD E MAIL FRIENDS ENOUGH TO CALL OR CONTACT ME FOR MORE DETAILS,AND AM UP TILL MIDNIGHT,BUT E MAIL ME FIRST SO AM NOT ON MY DIAL-UP-BUSY SIGNAL LINE AND WILL GET OFF LINE FOR A CHAT.EVENINGS ARE BEST. CHEERZ FROM DAWK 760 665 9622 AND ASK FOR 'DAWK'
