How it prints ? - Laser Printer
 Toner: a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers
to form the printed text and images on the paper.
 Drum: the device that receives the image from the laser
and transfers it to the paper to produce the final print.
 Fuser: melts the toner onto the medium (paper)

Colour Print
 Besides the issue of Drum, we found there are
huge differences among prints from the same
original source
 We set up six blocks with Pantone uncoated
codes in Adobe Illustrator CS 6 in iMAC(thanks
the assistance of Ray & Bright)
 Yellow ( 109 UP)
 Purple (7663 UP)
 Green (7739 UP)
 Red (7620 UP)
 Blue (2736 UP)
 Light Brown ( 467 UP)

Colour Print - Recommend
 After printed with different formats and software => None of
them are 100% matched the colours saw on screen or Pantone
colour book.
 But we suggest every designer to save in Adobe Illustrator or
Photoshop files, and directly print out without change to other
formats. MS Window or Apple MAC would not impact a lot.

Network Change Notice
 This week we might do the change of Wireless
Router again…
 Last time it caused everyone unhappy with internet
access around 2-3 days.
 And also for Yannick’s pocket.
 So this time we would check and response more
proactivly.
 We would rollback to current setting if needed with
the frequency of per hour monitoring.
 If any trouble occurs, please inform us asap. It might
help others!

The End
 So, thanks for your attention. And the most of
all…
