Wide-format printer specialist i-Sub Digital recently hosted two successful Open Days at the Crewe Headquarters of Hybrid Services, which attracted representatives from over 30 companies.
Guests were treated to demonstrations of wide-format printing systems from Mimaki, including the new Mimaki JV400 SUV and i-Sub Digital’s innovative Digi-Foil system, with experts supplying all the facts on how these technology investments can be creatively used to boost business opportunities.
Digi-Foil is a groundbreaking system that facilitates the application of foils without the need for traditional dies and foil presses. Foil is applied only in the areas required, enabling the reproduction of text as small as four point and a dot size of just 0.3mm. Thus, by using Digi-Foil in conjunction with a desktop Mimaki UJF UV printer, sign and print companies can produce personalised decorative items or colour-accurate packaging prototypes in less than ten minutes with minimal waste – something that would previously have been impossible.
Further, the speed of production and accuracy of the process enables clients to see a variety of different packaging options at the first stage and to potentially sign off mock-ups on the same day, rather than decisions taking weeks or months.
The Open Days also provided an opportunity for attendees to see the new Mimaki JV400-160 SUV wide-format printer, which was first unveiled at FESPA 2013. This machine combines the bright, punchy colour and glossy finish of solvent ink with the abrasion resistance of UV inks and thus enables businesses to benefit from a wider colour gamut and greater substrate options, as the instantly dry print has an outdoor durability for three years plus, without the need for lamination.
Other attractions at the events included the Zünd S3 digital cutting table, which was shown cutting and creasing polypropylene, routing Foamex, cutting display card and creating packaging products all of which were first printed on the Mimaki JFX500.
Further Open Days with Mimaki UK and Ireland distributor Hybrid Services are part of a series of events planned by i-Sub Digital, during 2014, in addition to selected trade shows.

Yesterday’s post came late in the day, but it wasn’t because I was busy or even because I was hard at work. The truth is I was hard at rest. After two weeks of rushing, working, prepping, and basically all the -ing you could think of, it was bound to happen. I needed a break and I was forced to take one, my only saving grace was that it was the weekend so it could happen, but it’s a good reminder that we all have limits.
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbian ultranationalists held a rally on Tuesday to accuse their country's president of treason for agreeing to hold talks with the president of Kosovo.
The talks between Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic and Kosovo leader Atifete Jahjaga — scheduled to take place in Brussels on Wednesday — are part of an EU-brokered effort to improve ties between the former foes. The war ended in 1999 when NATO used a bombing campaign to chase Serbian troops out of Kosovo.
Today the mostly ethnic Albanian province is recognized as an independent country by some 90 countries, including the U.S. and most EU members, even though Russia continues to back Serbia's claim on the territory.
Serbian nationalists still consider Kosovo as the medieval cradle of the Serbian state and the Orthodox religion, and they have pledged never to give it up.
But Serbia's government knows it must normalize relations with Kosovo to advance its bid to join the European Union.
On Tuesday, dozens of followers of the extreme nationalist Serbian Radical Party rallied outside the Serbian presidency building in downtown Belgrade, waving flags and anti-EU banners. "Nikolic's decision is clear and obvious treason," said senior party official Nemanja Sarovic.
An elderly man, who identified himself only as Luka, added: "I came here to protest against Kosovo being handed over to the Albanians."
Nikolic is a former ultranationalist who backed the onslaught by Serbian forces on separatists that NATO stopped in Kosovo, but he toned down his rhetoric and proclaimed himself pro-European Union before becoming Serbia's president last year.
In another sign of progress, Serbia's government on Monday night named its first liaison officer to Pristina.We're so proud of you, Benedict Cumberbatch!
Benedict Cumberbatch deserves a MASSIVE congratulations after being awarded a prestigious CBE honour by the Queen. Literally, this is SUCH a big deal for the star! What more could you want than a royal acknowledgment of your achievements?
Despite Barbican producers forbidding Benedict from signing autographs for his fans, he defied them and rushed out and did it anyway, even stopping to pose for a few selfies with fans.
Back in September, Benedict recorded a video from his Barbican dressing room for the Save the Children ‘Help is Coming’ music video, in aid of refugees in Syria.
Kidnapped overnight by a South African gang back in 2005, Benedict resolved to ‘live a life less ordinary’. And that’s what he’s done!
We were gutted for Benedict when he lost out on his BAFTA to Eddie Redmayne – tough battle, eh? But we’re hoping that this new honour makes up for it!
What could be more of a British honour than playing the lead in a Shakespeare play? Plus, the talented actor completely SMASHED it, with rave reviews praising his starring performance in The Barbican performance.You know by better I meant better performance. Graphics, technologies, versatility.

So, for the record, you can build an Xbox One equvalent PC for about 400, and you can blow it out of the water for about 500.

Also, [I literally just play my PC games with a 360 controller in my living room from my sofa chair.](http://i.imgur.com/Y5DReP8.jpg) None of that other stuff really means anything, and if it does, a mouse/keyboard is like 9 dollars for a kit, and I used to use an old kitchen chair. Like it's not a very good argument. 

I will give you credit for the reliability aspect -- it is easier to develop accross one platform and have things work... but it's the same as the Android/iPhone argument. I have an android because I like to tinker.I don't think playing as the uninterrupted line of rulers is better than playing as whoever survives is. If Rome implodes into civil war, but one side wins (say, the side you're not) I would have far more fun dealing with the new circumstances and politics of the new one than ending the game while Rome still survives.

Internal threats meaning setbacks are entirely fine imo. When you lose an internal war in ck2, the setback changes your circumstance. New kings, new neighbors, new dynamics, etc. A game over should not be the de facto stake to make you care for a war, especially one where your nation survives, when there exists so much more that can push the player-driven story forward.

"X usurped Y" is a lot less fun and interesting than "X usurped Y, and this meant Z going forward."The glory days of The Kingsway in Southport will be relived in Dave Turley’s show on Sandgrounder Radio tonight.
The iconic nightclub stood proudly on The Promenade before being destroyed by a fire five years ago.
In its heyday it was a casino and nightclub, with guest acts including The Beatles, Cilla Black and Engelbert Humperdinck.
Thousands of people poured in on Friday and Saturday nights during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, when new names included Bliss and Astoria.
Tonight Dave Turley will be bringing the famous Kingsway nights back to life.
He said: “I’ll be looking after the Evening Show for Andy Hilbert on www.sandgrounderradio.co.uk between 8pm and 12pm tonight. Would love your company.
Dave is welcoming any requests from listeners.
Listen intently to the effervescent frequencies to hear the sonic nuances produced by such a mystical instrument and find out why I absolutely love my seven-foot, four-inch August Förster grand piano. Handcrafted in East Germany, this is a rarely heard piano. Because of its structure and material, it possesses the capacity for infinite harmonics and is the instrument of my spirit and I use it as a healing device. Endowed with a full voice and sonic spectrum, it has a warm bass all the way down to low A, crystal-clear upper range and lush shimmering overtones where unsuspecting echoes can help invoke altered states of consciousness. I love the swirling, effervescent and celestial harmonics of the August Förster’s vibrating strings when chords are held in the aether.
Most of the healing energy of the August Förster is in the harmonics, which carry the information of healing intent. The piano combines and manifests the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual essences of my being, Master Wan Su Jian and four Ch'i Gung doctors from Beijing, China while it entrains
