I know the information is out there but I wanted to post up to speed up the learning curve.
I am a mechanic with my dad at our own place and currently get by with a cheapy mig flux wire rig which has done all my body work/fab needs thus far.
I seek this help as I am planning a Jet Jon Boat custom build. A jet ski engine will be installed into a Jon boat.
Thin metals down to the gage of a stock Jon boat hull MIXED with possible bottom strengthening/remodeling of thicker sheet aluminum.
Clean like alloys for all add on aluminums BUT possible odd ball alloys in the jet ski pump systems such as the cast aluminum "shoe" that will be bolted to the hull (basically houses the impeller and is a closed cast tunnel for the jet water flow.
I COULD just bolt the cast shoe pump tunnel to the hull but I figure ill throw that out there since this is always something to consider when customizing existing aluminums
SO, what are the opinions out there for basically a light weight aluminum rig which can also handle like wise gages for steel up to roughly 1/4" on either would be awesome. Budget is a thing, but I know from growing up that I aint trying to pinch pennies here.
So im looking for a basic yet tuneable little rig to make me smile after using junk for so long!

Do you know the gauge of the aluminum on the particular jon boat hull you will be using? A quick search show them to range from 16 ga to 10 ga.
I think TIG is what you're going to want to use. You don't want to be blowing holes in your boat hull. If you're not an experienced TIG weldor, you may want to consider farming out the hull welding work.Multimatic 200
Spoolmate 100

The aluminum welding part is the killer here. If you want to go blue MM252 and the 30A spool gun. Sure the smaller migs will do some of it but not large runs just small spurts....BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

The only thing I wanted to say is that I would bolt that water intake to the hull, not weld it.

If I were using aluminum angle for the engine cradle I suppose it would be more like 1/8'' thick which should be easier for mig
As stated to then weld that to the existing aluminum floor stringers can be done one bead at a time (I wouldnt be welding to the actual bottom of the hull). I should be able to get it done without a whole lot of welding.
So I guess since I have many other future uses for a mig welder, what are your ideas on a basic yet nice setup that will use an aluminum spool, as well as steel up to decent thicknesses. (nothing real close to stick welding thicknesses)?
*Remember, I dont weld everyday but I could see using it roughly once a month on misc things*

Weight management
It's important to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Not only will this boost your self-esteem, but there are numerous health benefits, too. Being very overweight - or obese - increases your risk of developing health problems, including coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gallstones and some cancers. The good news is that most associated health risks disappear once the excess weight is lost. According to the Government more than half of women and two thirds of men in the UK are overweight or obese - and the numbers are rising.
Why am I overweight?
Your weight is determined by the ratio of energy intake to output, that is, the balance between what you eat and the amount of physical activity you do. The energy you get from food is measured in calories. If you take in more calories than you burn, you'll put on weight. If you use more energy than you take in, you'll lose weight. Extra energy from food is mostly stored as fat. Certain foods provide more energy than others. Fat has more than twice as many calories per gram as carbohydrate or protein. So, if you eat a lot of fatty food, you are likely to take in more energy than you need and store it as fat on your body. Alcohol also contains calories, for more information visit Drinking and you.
Obesity often runs in families, suggesting that genetic factors play a part in how much we weigh. Although you can't alter your genetic make-up, you should still be able to reach and maintain a healthy weight if you eat well and exercise regularly. Some medical conditions may also affect your weight, but these are rare.
How can I lose weight?
If you're overweight or obese, you should see your doctor before going on a diet. A doctor can rule out any underlying medical causes and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist.
Look at the food you eat and the amount of physical activity you do. Many 'quick-fix' diets claim to help you lose weight, but these are unlikely to work in the long term unless you also make fundamental lifestyle changes. You need to balance a healthy diet with a reasonable amount of physical activity. Choosing healthier foods, cutting down on fat and sugar, eating smaller portions and taking more exercise will all help you achieve and maintain your ideal weight.
When reducing your weight, aim to lose no more than 0.5-1kg (1-2lb) a week. This is equivalent to cutting out around 500-1,000 calories a day, depending on your level of activity. It's easier to keep weight off if it's lost gradually. This also gives your body time to adjust to new eating habits.
Keeping a food diary is a helpful way to keep track of what you are eating.
Download your food diary here >
Exercise regularly
Just 30 minutes of moderate activity each day, including gardening, brisk walking and housework, can make a difference. Aim to use a little more energy than usual. This doesn't just help you to control your weight, it also helps to tone your muscles, boost energy levels and reduce stress.
Eat more healthily
Here are some ideas to help you eat more healthily:
- Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit - at least five portions a day.
- Use semi-skimmed or skimmed milk instead of full fat milk, or drink non-dairy alternatives.
- Eat lots of filling fibre-rich and starchy foods, such as brown rice, wholemeal pasta and potatoes.
- Cut back on butter and spreads, and replace cream with low fat or fat free yogurt, or try fat free fromage frais.
- Use small amounts of strongly flavoured cheese rather than larger amounts of milder cheese. Grate it to make it go further.
- Chicken and turkey are also low in fat, especially if you remove the skin.
- Grill, steam, microwave or poach rather than fry. Use non-stick pans and add oil to pans using a spray to cut down on the amount you use.
- Choose half- or reduced-fat versions of your everyday favourites.
Take a sensible approach
Simply reducing the size of servings will cut down your calorie intake.
Eat regular meals and don't skip any, especially breakfast. This will keep blood glucose levels constant, so you won't be tempted by unhealthy snacks.
Don't ban foods, but restrict those that are unhelpful such as chocolate or crisps. Look for lower fat treats, such as exotic fruits.
Cut back on alcohol. Stay well within the recommended safe limits (2-3 units of alcohol a day for women and 3-4 units a day for men).
Find out if you're overweight
Below are two ways to find out if you are overweight. They are a rough guide for the average adult:
- Work out your Body Mass Index (BMI). A BMI of 18.5-24.9 is normal; a BMI of 25-29.9 means you are overweight; a BMI of 30 and over means you are obese. To calculate your BMI, divide your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared, as shown:
How can Waitrose help?
Waitrose offers healthier alternatives to your favourite foods, being either lower in fat, saturated fat, sugar or calories. They are easy to find with a distinctive black and white band on the front of pack. Most Waitrose own label prepacked foods include a nutrition panel. The calories, fat, saturates, salt and sugars per pack/per serving are highlighted.
This can be used with the guideline daily amounts (GDA) for nutrients, also on packs. GDAs are a general guide for adults of a healthy weight and not individual targets. For those who need to lose weight, the requirement is likely to be less than the GDAs. Low fat recipes are included in the monthly Waitrose recipe cards, available in branch, or online at Waitrose recipes.

If you have psoriasis, you probably know how to say this tricky word. The "p" is silent.
Psoriasis (say: sor-eye-uh-sus) is a skin problem that causes patches of red, flaky skin. These patches, called plaques, form when skin cells build up on the surface of the skin. Psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body but is most commonly found on the scalp, knees, elbows, and upper body.
Psoriasis is a chronic condition, meaning it can come and go. Psoriasis can be simply annoying, but it also can be painful. And having psoriasis can be emotionally upsetting. Why? Because the person might feel embarrassed or worried about how he or she looks.
Getting treatment can reduce the symptoms and make the person feel better. Support groups also can be useful to people who have psoriasis.
Right now, there's no cure for psoriasis, but lots of good options are available to treat the symptoms. Smart choices, such as maintaining a healthy diet and weight, also can help improve the condition. Even just getting a little bit of natural sunlight can make the symptoms better. Your doctor will tell you if this might work for you.
Doctors aren't certain why some people get psoriasis, but they know how the disease works. In your blood, you have a kind of white blood cell called a T lymphocyte or T cell. T cells travels around your body fighting off stuff that could make you sick, like bacteria and viruses.
When someone has psoriasis, T cells attack healthy skin. The body's immune system responds by sending more blood to the area. The body then makes more skin cells and more white blood cells.
It's important to know that your body is always producing new skin cells and shedding old ones. With psoriasis, the dead skin and white blood cells can't be shed quickly enough, and they build up on the surface of the skin as thick, red patches. As the skin cells die, they form silvery scales that eventually flake off.
If someone in your family has psoriasis, that can increase your risk of getting it. You don't catch it like a cold or chickenpox. Psoriasis is passed down in your family's genes.
If you have psoriasis, you'll most likely experience one or more of the following symptoms:
What causes or worsens a psoriasis outbreak? Certain medicines, being sick, cold weather, and stress can be triggers. Being overweight also can be a problem because psoriasis can develop in skin folds. An outbreak is more likely when your skin is hurt because of a sunburn, scratch, or other irritation.
The doctor will look at your skin, scalp, and nails and ask you some questions. The doctor may ask you and your parent if anyone in your family has psoriasis, if you've recently had an illness, or if you've started a new medication.
On rare occasions, the doctor may remove a small sample of skin to examine it more closely. This is known as a biopsy. A biopsy can tell doctors whether someone has psoriasis or another condition with similar symptoms.
There are lots of ways to treat psoriasis, and different ones work for different people. Your parent and doctor can help figure out which treatments are best for you.
There are two main kinds of treatments:
It's not always easy to find a therapy that works, and sometimes what works for a while will stop working. A doctor might try one treatment, then switch to another, or recommend a combination of therapies.
It's important to work closely with your doctor and follow the treatment plan carefully. If a certain cream needs to be applied twice a day, be sure to do it. If you're confused or frustrated, be sure to ask for a parent's help.

Ashley Reed Named to Southern Conference All-Freshman Team
Monday, March 04, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Mar. 4, 2002) -- East Tennessee State Lady Buc freshman guard Ashley Reed (Barrackville, W.Va.) was named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman Team, named at the Mountain Dew Southern Conference Women's Basketball Championships from Charleston, S.C. Joining Reed on the five-member squad is Joanie White of Appalachian State, Monica Pope of Furman, Amanda Eaton of UNC Greensboro and Ki-Ki Glass of Western Carolina. Reed completed her freshman campaign with the Lady Bucs as the team's second leading scorer, averaging 10.2 points per game. She scored in double-digits 14 times this season, leading the team on six occasions. She was named to the Active Ankle Bearcat Invitational All-Tournament Team on Nov. 24-25 after leading the Lady Bucs to a third-place finish in a tournament that included Belmont, Cincinnati and Troy State. She averaged 18 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in ETSU's games that weekend, a loss to Belmont and a victory over Troy State. Reed was one of the most feared three-point shooters in the Southern Conference this past season, nailing 60 three-pointers. That number ranks fourth in ETSU history for treys made in a season.

I must say, though I've used IP successfully with my Epson 4000 for over a year, i find that rendering intents and shadow point compensation have been a source of misunderstanding and confusion. I guess i'm gonna have to dig through the ImagePrint application folder on my hard drive to find the documentation!
I suppose that with shadow point compensation set to zero, one would expect deeper blacks at the potential cost of lost shadow detail?
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=52634\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
don't really have any "real" documentation" about the shadow point compensation.
But thrue trials/testings and discussions with other IP(and Colorbyte when they answer....) users it has come to this.
Normally when using the shadow point compensation slider the "default" value is
Changing the value (black point compensation) to 100 will efectivly have about 4% lighter shadows.
This aplyes when using
intent as rendering intent within IP.
...When using
relative intent
as rendering intent within IP the
value 0
will make the shadow
to deep
and you'll lose details in the deep shadows.
will be more "correct" since this will print more or less "exactly" as your soft proof looked like in PS when chosing relative as rendering intent.
This has been discussed at the Yahoo ImagePrint group some times.
Anyway.This is how I work with IP and my prints look"exactly" when printed(and wiewed under correct lightning)as they do in my softproof wiew within PS.
This is "on" my Eizo CG19 display hardware calibrated (using Eizio's ColorNavigator software and Eye One display(hardware)to use the full 10bit lut of the display) and D65 and gamma 2,2.

I have not seen you mentioned(or anybody asking) what kind off display you are using(lcd or crt)
How is it calibrated??(I', not talking hadware here)
D65 ??D50?? gamma?
What's your "workingconditions"(dark room"cave" or bright light)
Edit: I just re read this =)
I forgot to mention that my whole room is illuminated with D-50 (when I turn the lights on to examine the prints). I bought a Solux track and fixture system from Tailored Lighting in Rochester NY (
). This was much cheaper than a state-of-the-art viewing box, but no dimming - so I replace dimming by holding the print nearer or further from the ceiling
Did i understand you correct that you work with these lights turned
while working and only turn them on to evaluate your print???
Even though I don't belive this to be the case,but setting the wrong (to high) cd/m2 will fool you when it comes to shadowdetails etc.
I myself work in what I would call slightly light cave invirement (got some dim D50 ligthtning in the room)
I calibrate my display(Eizo CG19) to D65 gamma 2.2 and 100cd/m2 for that invirement.
I've read somewhere that the Eye-One(which I know you don't use) default of 140 cd/m2 for LCDs(wich is pretty bright if you work in a dark invirement)
I'm pretty shure you know your calibration "stuff",but I just wanted to rule this option out before you feel the need to try out if IP is (better)for you.

Print a black stepped gradient with no color management on various papers with various Epson driver paper settings to see how different they can be. I've used Moab Entrada Natural for over a year. It's good stuff, but it separates dark tones poorly. As others have said, most matte fine art papers are similar but some work better than others.
I've recently done some testing of papers along with setting up an X-Rite Pulse profiling system. The best I found for black separation so far is Premier Hot Press. And surprisingly, with almost all the papers I tested, including PHP the "Smooth Fine Art" paper setting in the driver yielded the best separations. FWIW, PHP is highly rated by Wilhelm, has no OBAs, no flaking, and is similar in price to Moab Entrada.
I bought the Pulse after having profiles made by others on i1 Photo and the Pulse. I had been having two continuing problems for years: poorly separated dark tones and infrequent, but annoying poorly separated colors (some browns and greens particularly). I threw custom profiles made by others at my situation with no improvement until I used a profile made by the Pulse. I'm fairly certain now that the dark tone separation problem is due mostly to paper choice and paper setting choice though a good profile helps a bit. The color separation problem was solved with the Pulse profile.

Patrick, the monitor is a Sony Trinitron CRT calibrated at 6500K, gamma 2.2 and luminance between 99~102 depending on the calibration session. The latter is set by ColorEyes Display as part of the profiling process. I do the monitor work in a darkened environment - only one lamp with a 60W bulb burning in the background some eight feet away. During the day most daylight is blocked out using an opaque window shade. I'm glad you asked, because for sure this problem can be related either to the printing end or the monitor end, including their associated profiles. It is possible that my monitor, despite soft-proofing, is showing me dreams that cannot come true. I've had that discussion with Integrated Color Corp. (the ColorEyes Dsiplay people) and I shall do a sanity check by resetting the monitor to factory defauls, and redoing the who re-calibration re-profiling routine to make sure there isn't some glitch there - but I doubt it.
Michael P - that is a very interesting idea - testing a selection of different paper types in the printer driver to see which one performs best - that is indeed thinking out of the (Enhanced Matte) box! I shall try the "smooth fine art" and several other paper settings on Enhanced Matte and see what happens. Enhanced Matte has a satisfactory texture and it is inexpensive. (I know it can yellow over time if left exposed to the elements, but that is not what I do with it.)
Interestingly, I am able to test IP without buying it, so on Monday I'm bringing two of these challenging images into the retailer for a "this versus that" demo on their set-up (similar to mine) and we'll see what emerges. I'll report the outcomes here. Meanwhile if there are more ideas and suggestions, please keep them rolling.

It might be that you have a "bit" to high contrast ratio with your setup(for that enviroment).
100 in luminance for a CRT in a dark envirement feels a bit high for me..(others might disagree)
But then again calibration and setup isn't just numbers....=)( I wich it was that simple)
I used to calibrate my LaCie CRT display to 0.3 blackpoint and about 85-90 luminance
This was done with Optical(colorvision) and a DTP-92
There are people that have better knowledge than me on these matters when it comes to calibration/colormangement.(Even though I feel pretty confident in what I do =)......)
They could probably say alot about this .
I can't really say(for sure) that lowering your luminance to≈85-90 would be the way to go.
But try it as a start(you can always recalibrate)
The next step would be to wiew these images on a system(other than yours) that you "know"
is calibrated and working,to see if those "dark" look the same or differ from your display.

Thanks Patrick, you may well be on the right track about whether the monitor is providing me the correct information on luminosity. I shall have a better handle on this Monday when I take the problem files downtown for viewing and testing on a professional retailer's system. I shall be looking both at what their monitor shows the image to look like, what the Epson driver produces on paper and what IP produces on paper. From that point, I'll know whether my solution is to be monitor or paper oriented, or a combination of the two.
The monitor calibration package I am using is state-of-the-art: Integrated Color Corporation's ColorEyes Display with a Monaco Optix XR colorimeter. This is the same hardware as X-Rite DTP-94. The ColorEyes program determines optimal luminance automatically, and according to I.C.C. the luminance values I am getting are normal. That of course is not necessarily the end of the story, as I share your view that this calibration process is not simply a numbers game. I'll be playing with these variables over the coming several days.

Theoretically Enhanced Matte will yellow behind glass since it's not acid free. My testing of EEM showed the wackiest gradient of all the papers I've tried. There was lots of separation, but some of the patches that should have printed darker actually printed lighter. That is baffling, but it's what happened.
There are cotton rag papers with archival ratings that are relatively inexpensive, show good results for color and tone that I'd test before tearing your hair out.
It seems to me you've covered your bases as far as monitor and lighting management is concerned. And if your screen shows all but the low end is the same as your prints then to me that means you're just seeing what I've been seeing all along and that's that matte papers are a bit low end challenged. I have had to boost some darker tones prior to printing and expect I will continue to have to do that from time to time to get subtleties to expand on matte papers. But if you choose a paper and settings with that in mind at least you know you've mitigated the problem.
I'd be interested in what IP can do with that end of the scale though. My guess is they've overcome some of the problems with the Epson driver and might very well extract more from these papers. Still, I am starting to believe we can get more from these papers within the driver with a little bit of cautious paper choices and setting selections and a good profile to boot.

I do agree that there are (relative inexpensive)cotton rag papers that will out perfome EEM(which I rarley use these days anyway). My personal choise is Innova photo smoot high white (much lager gamut).
And I do agree that some deep shadows that shows subtle detail in soft proof might not print.
However in the first post Mark made he said that ,they vere
more visible.
He has(and no one included me have not asked him )mentioned the valuse of those shadows.
I use IP and in general I would say that it handles shadows better than the "Epson" driver.
But no matter what I use (even with the epson driver) I am in what you would call WYSIWYG situation (even on EEM with the epson driver)
I will admit that I'll start "losing" details(hard to separate to it's nerest neighbour) when I come to 93-94% k(or in rgb 18,18,18-15,15,15) in my prints on EEM.
This is when printing a numeric grayRamp from 1k to 100k .(with no adjustments and using realtive intent and epson driver,printed from PS print with prewiew))
And to be onest about these "observations", I know there should be separations so I look for them(and find them) but it's wey subtle.. =)
But then again those shades starts to be really hard to separate in softproof also
I see the separation but it's kinda no suprise to me when they don't show on print.
So if I would think they were "Important" to the print I would to do some adjustments to bring them up in PS soft proof.
But then again(my favorte expression =) )
Trying to understand (and judge) somebodys troubles only by the written word is sometimes wery difficult.
What someone (Mark in this case) refers to as MUCH, might be in some one elses mind SMALL.
This makes in my mind forums both a pleasure and frustrating,since it's all about understanding what the other person really is saying.
In this case I might have (or might not) understod what Mark really meant(when he said MUCH).
Eighter way all answers are benefitial and no matter who's right
The only things that's important is that the person that needs help is helped =)
And the problem is solved.

Michael, for all the grayscale tests I've done on Epson EM, there has never, ever been a reversal on the luminosity scale. Perhaps you have a profile issue or a corrupted file somehow. From what I understand the yellowing is not caused by light but by atmospheric pollution (gases); if I understood Wilhelm's fine print. displayed behind sealed glass it should not yellow for many years. I think this is why they changed the name from Archival Matte to Enhanced Matte.
Patrick, yes I never mentioned any numbers - silly me - and if you don't have the numbers and you don't see the prints or the monitor image it is hard to know really what I am complaining about. Now when you hear this I expect to see the next posts telling me that I am "over-reaching" - but heck, why not - otherwise how to do we improve, eh? So the LAB tonal area of concern is much worse separation on paper (compared with the monitor) in the LAB tonal range of 3 to 16, for steps such as 3 to 8, 8 to 11, 11 to 16, etc. (The RGB numbers in ProPhoto colour space are below 18, but best focus on the LAB numbers - they always mean the same thing.

Not a reversal per se, but some tones misplaced for sure. Nothing to do with a profile since with no color management I'm not printing with a profile in any case. That's the point of testing without color adjustments or profile. The test will show you the behavior of the paper, ink and paper setting without influence of profile (or rendering intent.) It sounds like Patrick is printing with no color adjustments in the driver but _with_ a profile since he mentioned relative colormetric rendering. That is fine if you wish to test the paper, ink and profile, but I think what you want to do here is remove the profile from the equation at least until you've established how the paper handles ink.
Ethan Hansen at drycreekphoto.com offers the technique to customers wanting to buy his profiles. He has an evaluation file (DCP-PrintEval.tif) that he asks you to use before printing your targets. That file specifically tests how each paper setting in Epson's driver lays down ink. You're not so much selecting papers using this file (although it helps that process) as much as you're selecting the best paper setting to use when printing (targets and real-world work).
And using EEM is not inappropriate, but it is not acid free and from what I've seen, papers containing acid will yellow even in dark storage. I was only suggesting there are acid-free, archival alternatives that are not unduly expensive and behave better. I make photographs for sale and produce fine art prints for my artist-wife as well. I use 100% cotton rag papers since they have a long track record for longevity. But that doesn't rule out the use of EEM. You should use what you like.
All this is quite theoretical at this point. I'm only saying that matte papers have a tougher time separating the low end tones and that to find the ones that do it best I print a stepped gradient with no color management trying various paper settings. IMO, this at least demonstrates the best the driver has to offer. A good profile and, as a last resort, slight adjustments to the image do the rest. And again, IP may (and probably does) do better than Epson's driver in that regard, but after some testing and an investment in profiling tools I'm getting the results I want (at least for now ;o)

Now that we have "all" the details,we might be closer to a "answer"
I've done some testing,but I would take these conclutions with some "marginals" since I'm doing these tests on a 2100(2200) printer .And it's how you "interp" my written word.
I did 4 blocks with the lab values 16/11/8/3 next to each other in that order .
I printed and compared the print with the softproof wiew .
This was done in 2 ways
1. Printing with the epson EEM profile from PS (colormanaged of course)
2. Printing from IP using their profile for EEM. (also colormanaged)
The Epson profile printed "darker" compared to the soft proof and in my mind printed to dark overall.
There's still separations but the soft proof wiew is a bit optimistic (Even for some one with experience
looking at a soft proof knowing that a print is still a print and it will never print exactly as the soft proof)
The print made from IP and their profile printed lighter than the epson/PS combo(more "true") and with better separation( not by far but defenatly notisable)
The print from IP was much closer to the soft proof in PS(using the IP profile offcourse) and printed more or less how I would expect it to print.
I'll leave it to this until you've done your own tests with IP to compare.But I'll not be supriced if the IP print has better shadow details than the epson profile.

That is fine if you wish to test the paper, ink and profile, but I think what you want to do here is remove the profile from the equation at least until you've established how the paper handles ink.
In Marks first post he wrote
I am using Version 3.1.07 of ColorEyes Display for monitor calibration and the Epson print driver for the 4800 printer and Enhanced Matte paper with Matte Black Ink. In general, the screen-to-print matching is quite reliable, except for deep shadow detail which is MUCH more visible on the monitor with soft-proofing active than it is emerging in the prints. I am wondering whether this an Epson profile issue, whether anyone else using this combination of hardware and software has experienced similar issues, and whether ImagePrint 6.1 would improve it.
So it is one of the things to test.
Since you do your own profiles you know that a printer profile is a 2 way profile aPCS(profile connection space)-to-device vs device-to-PCS,which makes it possible to soft proof.
And it's possible to edit the "part" in the profile that makes it possible to soft proof ,if the soft proof differ to much from the print.(This is nothing I can do though)
I do however agree with you in what you are saying about matte papers have a tougher time separating the low end tones compared to glossy papers
And there are ways to test what a paper is capable of "doing"
But a correct(good) profile (when soft proofed) should be somewhat close to the print if wiewed in correct lightning.
This has nothing to do what the paper is capable of "doing" since the soft proof should more or less"reveal" it's limits and show you what to expect.
And he's trying to achive a WYSIWYG situation here.

Patrick and Michael, thank you ever so much - and Patrick double thanks for taking the time to do those tests. I think they are very revealing from your description, so I am ever more looking forward to what I shall see when I do this with actual photographs tomorrow at the retailer's set-up. I'll report back what I find.
It is true compared with glossy, matte papers generally provide a bit less sub quarter-tone separation - so there is a paper factor. Perhaps it is the price one pays for preferring matte over coated media. Hence the challenge with matte is to find the combination of software and paper selection that does the best job of it. I think this is what our dicussion boils down to.
As for yellowing, if you look carefully at Wilhelm's results for the Epson 4800, particularly footnote 6 in conjunction with the characteristics of all the papers tested in that chart, you can interpret his information to mean that for all papers listed, dark storage yellowing is related to storage conditions and low level air pollutants - not UV brighteners. (Display is another matter - I know for FACT Enhanced Matte definitely yellows within a year stuck on the fridge with no protection.) Beyond Wilhelm ratings, the choice of paper depends on taste and budget. People who like paying less than half of what anything else costs and like the brightness will use Enhanced Matte, others will use other papers, and others still will use a mixture depending on the image.

Can you offer some specific suggestions for reasonably priced alternatives to EEM? You've made me nervous about EEM yellowing, since that has been my primary paper so far.
And Mark:
I look forward to the results of your IP versus Epson tests. I have an Epson 2200, and I gave up on the Epson driver a while ago and ended up with IP, which seems to work nicely for me.

Patrick, all profiles are not created equal. Printing with no CM and no profile allows you to see how the ink lays on the paper, nothing more, with no influence from the (good or bad) profile. It's a small piece of the testing puzzle, but in my opinion an important one. You do this to find the best Epson paper setting only. Then you use that setting to make your real world prints with profile applied. You can skip this step entirely if you wish, but I've been using this test as a precursor to profile-making and it's shown me some interesting variability in Epson's paper settings.
And Mark, use EEM, it's great paper. I'm only suggesting that there is better. Galleries, museums and collectors are just beginning to accept ink-jet prints as a viable and worthy alternative to traditional media. They tend to apply the same standards to work created using our ink-jet methods to those of any artist using paper media and that means acid-free (and usually buffered) paper and acid-free anything that touches the paper, from the backer board to the tape holding the print to the mat. I show and sell my work and create fine art prints for my artist-wife and I've chosen to use acid free materials. Again, don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you your choice is wrong.
Eric, there are many third-party alternatives some of which are double sided allowing you to proof on your rejects to save money, but none quite as cheap as EEM. Some are: Moab Entrada, Premier Hot Press, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. Inkjetart.com has a good selection, Atlex.com has a smaller selection but at lower cost for those papers that overlap. I've just tested the papers I mentioned and Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art as well. The Premier produced results at least as good as the more expensive alternatives with my images.

Hi all, great thread. Let me share my experience with HWM on 1280 and EEM on 2200 with Epson profiles. Color prints.
The problems are with highly saturated colors and/or deep shadow details. Since these are subjective terms, I find that the images in Dale Cotton's great article can best demonstrate these problems.
Fig. 2 is what the image looks like ín PS RGB1998, i.e. before Soft Proofing. Fig. 3 is how Soft Proof with a matte paper profile and in print looks like. Notice that in Fig. 3, not only does the shadow details suffer, but also the more saturated colors on the boats at the upper right corner. When I encounter this kind of problem, I will Soft Proof with a luster profile, both the monitor image and the print on luster paper will be more like Fig. 2.
While the nature of matte paper plays a role in this, I think that the profiles themselves and the Epson driver are the more significant contributors to the problems. Here's an action that plots out a profile conversion. Plots of the matte paper profiles provided by media vendors (Epson, Ilford, Red River, etc.) all look about the same, implying that they won't make that much a difference. The same is true with luster paper profiles. However, when I plot Bill Atkinson's profiles, I notice that there is a big difference in the shadow end.
Soft Proofing and printing with different rendering intents and with black point compensation turned on/off do make a difference. With some image, the difference can be significant. But iterating through the permutations of different profiles, intents and bpc is very tedious and time consuming, not to mention the amount of paper and ink wasted.
There's got to be a simpler solution.

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=52797\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Eric, anything apart from EEM you use for good quality matte will cost AT LEAST twice and in some cases up to four times the cost of EEM. The only problem I've had with EEM so far is photos posted on the fridge door. I have prints from 2000 in dark storage whose white borders look the same as EEM bought yesterday, and I doubt they will change much any time soon. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing to be nervous about. It all goes back to issues of purpose and taste. I make prints to bind in books or keep in portfolio cases - i.e. dark storage. If I were making prints for sale that will be displayed, unless they will be framed according to Wilhelm test specifications, I would change to an acid-free paper - the cost of the paper becomes a non-issue if your prints sell.
In preparation for tomorrow's tests I just finished preparing and printing on EEM (Rel Col. intent with Photoshop Color Management active - to simulate what I do for normal photographs) a series of neutral grey test strips - LAB gradations of L from 0 to 22 in 2 point increments with 0 values for both "a" and "b" throughout. I can hardly see any difference between 0 and 22 (equal to RGB 0 to 40) whether I use the EEM paper setting or the Single Weight Matte setting, which in principle should lay-down less ink. (The Smooth Fine Art setting is not available - in fact the Epson driver won't display any media that is not meant to be used with the Matte Black cartridge - cutting out playing with anything "smooth".) Comparing my results with the monitor image, Soft-Proof active, gradations upward of LAB 4 are obviously differentiated on the monitor. The gap between the print and the monitor image is striking as one progresses upward of LAB 6.

As far as I know the smooth fine art setting is not avilable for other reasons, not that it's not meant for matte black ink. It is available for use with the 4000 driver (and other larger formats) but only for manual feed with sheets and for rolls of course. My guess is that it's not available in the 2200 driver because the sizes offered are too large for that printer.

I see your point and that's actually what I would do as a "linear" test to see what paper settings
would produce the best starting point before printing a test chart for "profilemaking"
If I used the epson driver.
And off course it does not cost more than a couple papers and some ink to include it it the testing.
If I in my posts have given the impression that this is of no value,I'm sorry.
It still bothers me though that this is all epson products(printer/driver/paper/ink)
So the soft proof and print should in my mind not differ that much as they aparently do.
Espessially whith the improved factory pre calibration these printers(x800) aparently gets
and the "better" driver.
I have no problems whith these things in IP.
What I see when soft proofing is what I get when printing.
And this is when using canned IP profiles

Michael, I'm using a 4800 so it is not the size of the paper.
Patrick, Michael and others, what I reported above about the results of my test strips is garbage - block it from eyesight. Rewind. For some wicked reason - perhaps because I was messing around with rendering intent settings or whatever, Photoshop was on printer color management and the printer driver was on no color management, so I got what I should have got - garbage. That nonsense found and rectified, I've now produced two sets of these strips: one goes from LAB 0 to 22 (= RGB 0 to 40), and the second from LAB 24 to LAB 46 (= RGB 44 to 90).
When you add a curves adjustment layer to either of these test sets, the deep dark one at its brightest is about half way between bottom left and the quarter-tone boundary, and the second one is a bit more than half way between the quarter-tone and half tone boundary.
The soft-proof is a bit brighter accross the range than are the prints. Tonal differentiation is better in the softproof. In the deep dark set, the upshot is that differentiation is extremely poor accross LAB 0,2,4,6. It becomes a bit more obvious at 8 and is somewhat too subtle between 8 and 22 relative to what the soft-proof indicates it could be. I'm taking these files into the retailer tomorrow along with the problem prints, so I can see on their monitor what they look like, and if they are patient enough with me, do both the tests and the photos in Epson and IP. If I can take them through all that, it should be determinative.

SK Gas selects Lummus Catofin technology for PDH plant in Korea
7:23 AM MST | March 6, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
SK Gas (Seoul), South Korea's largest importer and distributor of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), said today that it has signed a deal with Lummus Technology to use Lummus's Catofin process in a previously announced propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant planned at Ulsan, South Korea. SK Gas said in January that it plans to invest $890 million in a PDH plant, which is expected onstream in 2016. The unit will be designed to produce 600,000 m.t./year of propylene, possibly using shale gas–based LPG imported from the United States. SK Gas also said that it...

What Clients say:
I absolutely LOVED my Shine VIP Detox Package at The Feel Good World. They made the 3-day juice cleanse easy breezy with helpful tips to prepare, and a Good-to-go bag full of my favorite juices and delicious raw foods to phase back out. My favorite juice is Forever Young (like heaven in a bottle!) and the Pad Thai meal is AMAZING. I am also obsessed with their Brazilian nut milk. Yum! I feel so vibrant and healthy after a full week of nurturing and loving myself at the FGW. They supported me every step of the way with friendly and personable staff, knowledgeable therapists and teachers, and a wonderful cleansing program available to all! I will definitely be back for another cleanse.M.D.
I am so inspired by the food at The Feel Good World and frequently buy things to share with others so they can experience it for themselves. You cannot believe how delicious it is! I have too many favorites to list, but my ultimate meal would have to include the Italian sandwich with Green Glow juice and some yummy jungle peanut butter cups for dessert ... heaven! And recently I learned how to make a lot of their signature ingredients at a dinner show with Christy. So grateful to have discovered The Feel Good World. It just makes me happy!K.F.
First off, the day of the wrap I felt amazing. My body was tingling all over. This lasted all day and some parts of my body tingled more than others. I really felt it in my stomach area. The day after I got the wrap was even cooler. I did feel thinner, for example my thighs didn't rub together when I walk like they normally do. :) But what was really awesome was the energy that I had all day. It was the type of energy that just kept me feeling ready and energized and even keeled. I felt great, ready for anything and very grounded.J.W.
I first came to the "Feel Good World" for the vegan food, which is delicious. And then I delved into the 14 day cleanse. Immediately, I felt a difference. Having my meals pre-made, allowed me to focus on the other areas causing stress. I also added colon hydrotherapy to my weekly schedule. This relieved me from the uncomfortable bloating and blocked feeling I had been suffering from. I am on my second 14 day cleanse, which I might say is awesome. I love the taste of the food and juices. I have also had the mineral wrap with Lisa Barge. Lisa is easy to talk to and really cares about her clients. The entire staff goes out of their way to make sure I am cared for, whether it is about my food pick up or just answering questions about healthy living. I have practically been living there this past month. If you are seeking a way to heal or just maintaining an already healthy lifestyle, I encourage you to visit the "Feel Good World." Make sure you meet Christy Whitney the owner. She really cares about helping people and their health. I love the "Feel Good World!"A.S.
I love the Feel Good World's entire philosophy: healthy FOOD as nourishment for the brain and body; MOVEMENT CLASSES for all levels; SPA services that make you healthy from the inside out! I'm loving the Good to Go Bags to supplement healthy food into my way of eating, and find that I even swing by in between my bags for extra juices and goodies fresh out of the fridge. Just tried their amazing "pecan pie", can't wait to try the peanut butter buster treats, and loving two new juices I've never tried until just now: the Forever Young and the Hydration Healer. You must check out their SHINE Signature- perfect for making decadent smoothies. PLUS, all the staff have been so welcoming and supportive! Truly a caring business I will frequent and continue to recommend!L.O.

A poor qualifying session turned into a brilliant one for Sebastian Vettel at Silverstone after a late gamble.
The Red Bull driver looked set to start Sunday's British Grand Prix in P10 after he opted not to set a lap in wet conditions in the first eight minutes of Q3, but he went out for an exploratory lap just before the chequered flag came out.
With the track dry in certain section, he had one last go and managed to get P2 behind Mercedes' Nico Rosberg.
"At [the] start of Q3, we went out [as] one of the last cars and on my out lap it started to rain so I got that last wet sector to start the lap. There was no point [continuing] and so I aborted the lap, [it was] impossible to set a decent time on slicks," the German said.
"Back in the garage we were waiting and we said we might as well go out, so we went out on dry tyres and we were one of the first to go out. It was difficult to believe on the out lap it would be dry enough, but it's a funny place.
"[It was] a weird session - a lot of rain, no rain, fine rain, drizzling - England is the only country [where] you get these conditions, it's difficult to know what is coming."

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily and are lipid sensors functioning as ligand-dependent transcription factors regulating gene expression patterns of diverse biological processes (1, 2). PPARs play a critical role in metabolic processes such as glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and have been implicated in anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory as well as anti-hypertensive functions (3). Like other nuclear receptors, PPARs act as agonist-activated transcription factors, regulating specific PPARG gene transcription. PPARs have been shown to respond to small molecules and are well-documented for therapeutic actions triggered by synthetic agonists (4-6). Among the three isoforms of PPAR identified, PPAR gamma (NR1C3) is implicated in several important disorders such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity and cancer, providing strong justification for the search for specific PPARg agonists that can be used to treat these pathologies. However, the clinical use of PPARg agonists has been associated with adverse effects that are mainly caused by the concomitant activation of various PPARG genes implicated in different physiological pathways. These side effects include weight gain through increased adipogenesis, renal fluid retention and plasma volume expansion, as well as toxic effects in the liver (7). To design safer and more selective PPARg agonists, the different physiological pathways triggered by PPARg activation have to be decoupled. Recently, new classes of PPARg ligands, the so called selective PPARg modulators (SPPARgMs), have been developed. These compounds respond as partial agonists in a GAL-4 luciferase assay and are assumed to display a different binding mode in the PPARg subunit compared to the full agonist, glitazones (8). Selective recruitment of transcriptional coactivators by partial agonists has also been demonstrated, suggesting that different PPARg binding mode leading to a distinct coactivator recruitment profile may explain the change in gene expression patterns compared to those of full agonists (glitazones). Further, due to their improved pharmacodynamic properties, there is substantial interest and need to develop insulin-sensitizing PPARg modulators with minimal classical activation of PPARg and reduced side effects, while maintaining robust antidiabetic efficacy (9-11). The objective of this project is to identify compounds that bind to PPARgamma and do not induce PPARg transactivation (ligands; non-agonists) (12).

Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to determine whether powder samples of a compound identified as a novel PPARG ligand and non-agonist probe candidate (ML244) modulates the expression of aP2 (fatty acid binding protein 4) gene involved in the differentiation of adipocytes. The probe should not be active in this assay. This assay employs the differentiated mouse 3T3-L1 cell line. The compound was tested at 10 uM.
Protocol Summary:
3T3-L1 cells were cultured in Alpha-MEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 200 uM ascorbic acid and 10 mM-glycerophosphate. The cells were treated with either Rosiglitazone (10 uM) or SR1664 (10 uM) or left in vehicle at the start of differentiation. The cells were harvested 7 days post-differentiation for gene expression analysis and 21 days post-differentiation for mineralization. The mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells was determined by Alizarin red S staining (Millipore ECM815) as per manufacturer's instructions. Total RNA was isolated from cells using Trizol reagents. The RNA was reverse-transcribed using the ABI reverse transcription kit. Quantitative PCR reactions were performed with SYBR green fluorescent dye using an ABI9300 PCR machine. Relative mRNA expression was determined by the delta-delta-Ct method. The gene expression was normalized to GAPDH and compared to levels in cells treated with DMSO (mRNA level set as 1.0).
PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:
Compounds that modified (increased or decreased) gene expression by 200% or greater (ie, induced a 2X-fold change in expression) compared to the DMSO levels (set at 1.0) were active in this assay. Compounds that modified (increased or decreased) gene expression to levels less than 200% of the DMSO level (set as 1.0) were active in this assay. The probe was inactive.
The PubChem Activity Score is assigned a value of 100 for probe compounds, 50 for actives and 0 for inactives.
The PubChem Activity Score range for inactive compounds is 0-0. There are no active compounds.

Bucs reel off 21-point victory over UNC Greensboro; improve to 10-0 in SoCon play
Tuesday, February 03, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 2, 2004) - Sophomore guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) collected his first career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, leading the East Tennessee State University men's basketball team to a decisive 86-65 victory over Southern Conference foe UNC Greensboro Monday night in front of 4,130 fans at Memorial Center. Smith was joined in the double-double category by fellow sophomore Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.), who picked up his third career double-double with 12 points and a team-high 13 rebounds, helping the Buccaneers improve to a perfect 10-0 in league play and 18-4 overall. Meanwhile, UNC Greensboro dropped to 6-13, 3-6. "I thought we did a lot of good things tonight," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "The thing is we were able to jump out offensively and stay there. I really liked the 20-rebound differential, and holding them to just 37 percent shooting and 65 points was big. We liked a lot of what we saw on defense, but having five guys in double figures, and the way Tim (Smith) and Brad (Nuckles) played was nice to see." A basket by UNCG's Ricky Hickman opened the game, but ETSU quickly answered to make it 6-4 with 16:47 left in the first half. From there, the Bucs never trailed in the contest and built a lead of 14 points at 35-21 by the intermission. In the second half, the Spartans dropped behind by a score of 51-33, but managed to cut into the Bucs advantage wiith a 6-0 run to make it 51-39 with 12:33 left. However, from there ETSU was able to coast, gradually building its lead to as many as 24 points at 78-54 with 3:00 remaining in the game. While Smith and Nuckles collected double-doubles, senior forward Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) led all scorers with 22 points on 9-of-17 shooting. In addition, Wadood had nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and five steals. Other Bucs to reach double figures included junior guard James Anthony (Tampa, Fla.) with 15 points and sophomore guard Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) with 10. The Bucs out-rebounded UNCG 55-35 and picked up 10 steals on the evening. ETSU also held the Spartans to just 26-of-69 (37 percent) shooting from the floor, and just 6-of-21 from 3-point range (28 percent). For UNCG, senior guard Jay Joseph scored a team-high 21 points, hitting on 4-of-8 from 3-point range. ETSU will return to action Saturday at Memorial Center when the Bucs host longtime rival Appalachian State at 4 p.m. Meanwhile, UNC Greensboro will be at home to face SoCon North Division rival Elon at 1 p.m.

WONDERFUL ... Used 2lb London Broil. Started the marinade about 11pm. Created a 'quick' marinade for veggies - 2TBS garlic Olive Oil, some oregano and garlic. Tossed the veggies for a few minutes before putting on the skewers. While the Kabobs were grilling, put the left-over Beef Marinade in a small sauce pan and brought it to a slow boil. Grilled kabobs for only 9mins ... turning every 3mins ... They were juicy!!! Fortunately there was ample left-over meat (cooking for just my husband and I). After Dinner we grilled the remaining meat to be used later in the week for left-overs. YUMMY!!
Thought these were pretty good, but really nothing out of the ordinary. Although the meat was very tender, it just seemed to be lacking in flavor or something. Can't really put my finger on it! Alot of chopping!

AWESOME!!! These are the best shishkabobs I've ever tasted! I marinated the beef for a day and a half, and it was soooo tender and flavorful! As another reviewer suggested, for the veggies, I coated them with olive oil and sprinkled them seasoning salt and garlic salt before putting them on the skewers, and they were excellent! I will make these again and again!
YUMMY! This is a 5 star recipe for sure. I changed it a bit (not that it needed it, but I like to experiment and add my own touches) by substituting half of the lemon lime soda for Squirt citrus soda. I also added a tiny bit of liquid smoke. For the vegetables I used the ones in the recipe but added green zuchini and yellow zuchini. I got green, red and yellow bell peppers instead of just green. These were beautiful !! The tip of softening the peppers a bit prior to grilling worked like a charm. I did this only to the peppers and zuchini. This is the first time ever my boyfriend asked me to PLEASE make something again from all the recipes I have made from this site. Kids loved it too.
Update: I was excited to make this one again. This time I followed the recipe to the letter . This time NO ONE liked it :( including me. The first time I did changes and also didn't marinated it overnight. It was flavorful and tender. Not sure what happened this time. Maybe it was the sirloin cut, or the overnight marinating made the sirloin tough, but i always tought marinade tenderizes. I was not as flavorful as before.
Sensational! This definitely is a slightly sweet marinade that's almost like a teryaki. I used low sodium soy sauce, white wine vinegar, minced garlic vs. garlic powder and since I didn't have garlic pepper seasoning I opted to substitute 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika. I never marinated anything with soda before and this was a nice change from using oils. I put everything into a ziploc bag and marinated the sirloin overnight which I highly recommend. I skewered red and green peppers, red and vidalia onion and cherry tomatoes separate from the meat as they cook at different rates. This smelled great and tasted even better!
We found these kabobs to be scrumptios! I did have to make a few adjustments, and it was still fine. First, we had no pop, so I substituted lemonade, and second, I did not find good, fresh pineapple, so we left that out. However, these did not take away from the wonderful flavor. (The lemonade we used was the type made from frozen concentrate, not from powdered mix.)
I do recommend using a quality cut of meat. We did use really good sirloin the first time we made these, but the cut we used the second time was a little fatty, and it was not nearly as tender or flavorful.
White rice is a great side dish for these kabobs. The meat, veggies, and rice make a full meal... and a very good one, at that!
This is a great recipe! My husband ranted and raved over the taste of the meat and my kids even loved it. It hardly took any time to make the marinate, the hard part now will be waiting the 8 hours while it marinates! My husband took the left overs to work (he is a fire fighter) and the guys called me to get the recipe so they can make it at work!
I made this recipe for guests, and it turned out very well. The pineapple was a nice change....I don't usually put pineapple on my kabobs, but it turned out well. Make sure to marinate the steak overnight so that it is nice and tender and flavorful.
