Thanks to the Guardian for the cartoon.. which is just a bit too close to how it is....

We’re winding down now for Christmas - Wednesday is the last day for Special Delivery - and collection.

We’ll be in on the 28th & 30th December - and it’s back to normal on the 4th January 2010!

We’re having issues with anyone using ROES that are using Orange Broadband - I’m afraid it’s an issue with Orange that we have no control over...
ROES just won’t open.
We’ve no idea at the moment when this will be fixed - but we’ll keep you posted.

+++ Note - we’ve discovered that only some customers with orange are having issues - if you are, please email us and we’ll try and work out whey you do, and others don’t!!

A couple of tubes had gone in the lab... we used to use special colour corrected ones everywhere - but we found them very hard to find...

However - a few mins googling - and we’ve got a great new supplier - and all at very good prices

5 foot Philips 965 Graphics Pro for just over £7....and they’ve also got bulbs for your Bowens etc too. You’ll need to buy a few as the carriage with 5 foot long tubes need to special! Great to deal with.

Under “Template” prints we’re rolling out a number of new products - first being CD Case calendars.

As the name suggests - the size of a CD case - the 12 pages are supplied with a CD size box - they make great gifts to your brides from this year.

More designs will be added over the next couple of days

Going to the SWPP conference in January - the hotel it’s in is where they did the auditions for the x-factor...

We’ve a stand - we’re downstairs at 215a - come by and say hi! Hopefully we’ll have loads of new features switched on ROES for that week... and some will be on show then..

The SWPP have a series of awards for the trade which will be presented at the conference in January https://swpp.co.uk/secure/trade-awards.htm

We’ve just added some new templates for the three most common Jorgenson albums - so you get perfect sized prints.

Just remember that JAD - the Jorgenson software does not put a colour profile in the file. Our lab software assumes anything without a profile is sRGB - so if you work in a space other than sRGB please apply the correct profile to your album pages with Photoshop. Also, if you are sending in more than one album at a time, please change the filenames as you will have two or more files called Side03 etc.. You can leave one set with these - but add a letter or number to the additional ones
