Tape Project Albums > Brilliant Corners

Brilliant Corners ready to launch

(1/3) > >>

docb:
We ran out of flanges part way through the process of packaging Brilliant Corners, and I also had to find a new and improved paper stock to replace the one we were using for cover art,as the old one had been discontinued. All of that has come together, the engraver will be buzzing and the printer will be swooshing all day today as we begin to pack 'em up for shipping. We are also working on catch up orders for Series One albums and take up reels that may have been waiting for the new flange shipment.

We plan to roll right into another album shipment as soon as Brilliant Corners is complete. Heart Like a Wheel is now being duplicated and will ship soon, but we have a few others that are already duped and ready to package so we may go ahead and get them out ASAP while we get the TP-011 stock built up.

A big thank you goes to Joe Galbraith, who loaned a minty looking jacket from which I developed the album art for TP-013.

Woo Hoo!!!!

Great news Doc!
Bummer about the paper though. Just when you find something you like huh?

It'll be nice to get something from UPS other than another DigiKey shipment.

docb:
Actually I didn't like the old paper that much. It was one of the few two sided papers available when we started and I found it a little inconsistent in terms of the surface coating from batch to batch. There are several more choices available now and the new paper is a little thicker and the print is even more crisp. Also even more expensive, ah, well. Luckily I didn't have to recalibrate the colors. Took a little experimenting with the printer settings to get it to go through the printer without getting scuffed, but I got that worked out yesterday and I've been making prints this morning.
