FYI...........THIS is Lino

[bangerjim]

I have read several threads recently where new comers and inquiring minds ask, "Is this lino?"

Well here is what it really looks like:

82587

It can be various lengths depending on text, machine, and usage.

There is 12# of it in that SFRB. And no........... it is NOT for sale!

It IS out there.............just found 60# more of it today.

Sorry......I am so used to pinch & zoom on this iPad, I forget people on regular pc's cannot do that!

I will take another or blow the type up on Photoshop and post something below later.

I had totally forgot about that function on a PC. I have dual 24" monitors on my office system and have not used that function in a long time.

This iPAD which I use A LOT(!) does the pinch-n-zoom function.

Glad you reminded me and alerted others to the little-know function in Win!

YUP! That looks about what the 250 lb. of lino I got for free when a small newspaper closed its doors about 20 years ago looked packed in boxes with a single of reverse type on each strip.Robert

That is a lotta lino pigs! Used to see those at my local newspaper back in the 60's.

Hard for us to melt down.....but where there are lino pigs.....there is a way!!!!!!!! [smilie=s:

Just prop one end up on a rock and smack it with a sledge hammer. It breaks exactly where you hit it, a nice clean break!

YES, a lot! Their not all mine!

[GRUMPA]

Their not all mine!

I bet the PM's inquiring about that stuff went down significantly.

If I have 300 lbs of strips like that in my possession, does that make me a linopornographer?
