Yep. franz_rivo is closer to my real name. And this OCE sure looked great, as the 3rd print basic D&D.



And well, I'm sure that will happen - anyway, sooner or later all those people buying OCEs like hell will begin to sell them LMAO

Am sure I can dig you out a Basic Set and OCE "with same contents" for half that price! :P

(Erm, just give me a hand with the shrinkwrap, though... ;)).



Yup, not seen too many of those in shrink, though; regardless of price. Not really my "cup of tea", though.



=



Well, anyhow, the contents in the T1st ain't totally the same.

lol you know they have SW machines, I bought a Silver anv box came to me in SW I was like BONUS!  But the guy told me he SWed it himself to make it safer to ship, so I ended up having to tear it open to see if it was complete, almost couldn't tell it wasn't the factory SW was that good..........



Bet some ppl are doing that shit...... re-shrinking to add vaule, kinda really dishonest though.

Draco, I know - as I work in the design and printing business. And I'd have access to those machines if I needed. But sure, wouldn't do that to a fellow collector. Well, to no one except someone obnoxious enough maybe...  :twisted:

mbassoc,

since 1988 I work in advertising, first as a copywriter then I switched to the art director side. My last job as a freelance is to follow - from dtp to press - a pair of house organs for italian institutions (one, dedicated to mosaic tiles is distributed to a selected list of architects etc in Usa). So I know something about printing and printers (and SW machines).  :)

I was wondering if you recalled, or know anything about dyeline printing. It was mostly used from the '70s through to the late '80s for plan printing, when it was replaced by large photocopiers.



Basicly, you have sheets of light sensitive paper that are kept in the dark, and you pull a sheet out and put your plan/drawing over it, and feed it through the printer that exposes the paper and drawing to high intensity UV light. Where the lines on the drawing were, the light sensitive coating stays on the paper, and the rest is burnt away. The paper if then fed through and amonia bed and has to dry. You're left with a sepia coloured sheet with a brown ink drawing that smells of amonia for years.



I was wondering if anyone knew whether dyeline printing was still done, and whether the paper was available for it anymore.

The tech is still there - and it's very similar to other well used printing techniques. Besides, if I recall well, it's used for architectural plans. The trick is finding out a specialist who still does it.
