Datacolor User to User Support Group.

Hello everyone, it's amazing how quickly people are joining the forum!

I'm Kris Moler, and in case you don't know who I am, I am also the moderator
on the EpsonWideFormat group on Yahoo.  

I'm happy to be a part of this forum, and commit to being totally un-biased,
and will always follow John V's ideals with regard to the rules of the
forum.

Many of you don't know my background, but I think it's appropriate to give a
brief summary...  

My first job out of college was "Tech Support".  I have lots of funny
stories, but it doesn't relate directly to my background, except maybe for a
little patience.

I was at Mitsubishi in the early '80s when dye-sublimation photo printers
were introduced.  Way before there was a concept of digital photo
reproduction (or color management for that matter), we could produce a
photograph on a desktop printer with amazing results.

Later I was involved with high-res laser printers, more dye-sub, and finally
my first foray into large-format, at a small company in california.
Dissatisfied with the ability for the company to come out from the shadow of
Lasermaster, I moved to Raster Graphics in San Jose.  

At Raster, I was the Sr. Product Manager for new products, and helped to
launch the first large format piezo-based inkjet printer.   I was also
assigned product management responsibilty for Onyx, where at the time was at
the end of their Imagez RIP (MSDOS-based), and I was the first product
manager for Postershop.

I spent a few more years there, and ended up leaving for the east coast, and
started my own company doing fine art reproduction on canvas (mostly as a
wholesaler).  That's where I am presently.

I am missing and skipping a lot of details (4th amendment issues -- <grin>
), but I have been involved in digital printing, color management, and
workflow issues since way before they became buzzwords.  You'll find that I
really don't have much of an ego, but will always help when asked.

I found out a few things while I grew up in hi-tech:

1.  There is only one dumb question - that's the one you didn't ask.
2.  If you absolutely knew the answer a few months ago, it has changed by
now.
3.  If I don't know the answer, I should say "I don't know".  But I should
always try to find out. (remember rule #2)
4.  Everything is subjective and dynamic to the CUSTOMER issue.

Please don't compare my job on EWF to what I will provide here.  It's all
about the rules and the topic.  I think many of you that think I was too
quick to react will eventually be happy with my contribution.  

Thanks for joining this new forum, and please don't hesitate to email us
