And now, for something completely different…

Category: General — Sherm @ 5:00 pm

I love Monty Python…

Although the knowledge of Monty Python may carbon-date me into some-less-than-preferable genealogical era, there’s no escaping the fact the show has held it’s own over the years.

I mean, seriously… who hasn’t heard the classic lines and sketches from that series?  If you haven’t, then you’ve either been catatonic in a closet, or perhaps like, nailed to a perch.

A Few Examples of Monty Python at it’s best:

2.  “I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK, I sleep all night and I work all day.”

3.  “This is a late parrot.   It’s a stiff.  Bereft of life, it rests in peace.   If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies.   It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. THIS IS AN EX-PARROT.”

Classic!  Especially if you’re a fan of twisted or black humor. Continue reading “And now, for something completely different…”

What is stochastic?

Category: Print — Marshall Stone @ 2:09 pm

Cereus Graphics offers different ways to produce your full color printed offset items. We offer a traditional line screen, which uses a set rosette pattern to produce your images and we also offer a process called stochastic printing.

Stochastic printing is a random series of dot placement that allows smoother flesh tones, finer details and elimination of moires. Stochastic printing also eliminates line rulings and screen angles.

What does stochastic mean to you? I can explain the difference to you, how it can apply to your next project and why and when stochastic printing is the right choice for your offset printed project. You can contact me at mstone@cereusgraphics.com
