crumple

Mon 2 August, 2019.

No, Mon, 2 September, 2019

Put the small chip under the device in the entrance lobby, the registration device that will read the code on the chip and start the daily clock. The device shows that there is almost a full week in overtime on the clock.
That is a small amount of freedom.

Take the stairs that wind around the hall,

around the pendulum, the one in memory

of Foucault.

Cross the covered bridge betweenthe two

buildings, turn left down the corridor.

The office is the same as it was dn Friday, the 

same mess.

Well; it is not too bad. Turn on the  computer, and then remember. There is a cloth printing material that needs to be tried

out on the printing machine, all the swatches printed, and an icc profile made. Go down to the basement, to turn on the machines.

Mutter a "good morning" to a few colleagues, on the way through the brick floored corridors.

Stand at the computer, start the process, put the new material into the printer. Set up the measuring device, it makes a three note tune to signal it's readiness. Print a small swatch.

Then there is nothing left to do, but to watch.

The machine measures the Swatch.
Otch. Otc.

And the final print, four swatches later? It is not as great as on paper; but the cloth like material has its limitations.

Take the roll out at the printing machine, and wrap it up in the final swatch.

The one with the KC-profile applied.

And then take the other samples upstairs,

to the people who want to test the cloths mechanical firmness, and other things.

A young spanish woman takes the samples all smiles and happiness. She sees hardly any of the printing faults inherent in the material, her only concern is that it will not crumple and crease like paper.

she will take the final poster on a long journey,

to Japan.

Where she will showthe results of her work.
