The Plot Thickens

For some reason I imagined a butterfly staring down a bulldozer

Now that I’ve put my mind to writing and drawing my third book in the Jimmy Jay series, I started imagining how the series will end. I’m looking several years into the future, but I can envision all of my animal friends in their biggest adventure of all — dealing with the deadliest animals on the planet. That thought made me think of bulldozers and butterflies.

Today I got the Epson P600 printer working. This printer works great — when it works — and it sucks when it doesn’t. It gobbles down $60 ink cartridges in the blink of an eye. Then it prints gorgeous prints and stickers. It’s a conundrum. I really don’t know how I got it to go from not working to working. I expected the printhead test to show that every cartridge (there are 8) was plugged. I imagined buying a new set of ink cartridges, which runs about $400. I was expecting the worst. But when I simply turned it on, for the first time in a year, it just worked as if nothing had every been wrong. Maybe there’s nothing strange about it at all … maybe it’s me not knowing what I’m doing … again.

Once the printer check out, I got my X-Rite i1Studio color calibrator out of the closet and created a new ICC profile for the sticker paper I use…and the stickers looked great. I’m just lucky, I guess.
