How many remember the halcyon days of big color guy parties, such as the Gretag
NDA intro of the i1 in Orlando?
It would be interesting to find how many of that gang stayed in the biz through
Covid.
Conjecture and chatter are that we are down to perhaps 10%.
There are fewer evolving technologies and ink sets than in the 1997-2007
decade. That equates to fewer novel gigs.
Because new guys probably don’t have drum scanner experience, color breaks may
not be in their tool box.
Several manufacturers have commented on those observations.
