we ski grace: Massive update

Here is the massive update from time spent away with family and friends. We are now back in the turn. See what I did there?

here is the printer we picked up today. This is the Epson 7900. Representing Epson's next generation, the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 incorporates Epson's achievements in photographic inkjet technology. By combining the precision of Epson's MicroPiezo TFP print head with the extraordinary performance of Epson UltraChrome HDR inks, the Epson Stylus Pro printer continues to represent a level of technology unprecedented in Epson's history. (Cut and paste is so nice) We managed to find a used one that works with DYE Sublimation ink. This printer will print our topsheet graphics then we will press the image into the topsheets. If anyone would liek to swing over I could use a hand getting out of the truck!

The next items are simply material we ordered before the holiday. it was so nice to come home to. We received 19OZ tri axial fiberglass. We have 20OZ but thought we might be able to lighten the weave. Prototypes will tell that story.

We also received base and topsheet material from Crown Plastic and Dura Surf. As well as some VDS rubber strips from our friends at SkiBuilder. After a few hard days on the hill the thought of some rubber was pounding in our heads. So why not try it out. We have had thoughts of a park/East coast ski as well so the rubber will be needed.
