U.S. Graphics Company @us.graphics · 20/10/2025Something about these old printed materials, typically catalogs and mass printed manuals from the 80s, that's... warm and fuzzy. Literally. These were most likely printed on cheap glossy coated paper using Rotogravure printing (similar to offset or flexographic printing). Thread 🧵 2142
U.S. Graphics Company @us.graphics · 18/10/2025May be I should try a proper brand of resin ribbons. Zebra makes official ribbons, Made in USA by Iimak-Amcor in NY. Problem is that I gotta buy a whole case ($500 or more). They're of the last ribbon manufacturers in North America! 050
U.S. Graphics Company @us.graphics · 18/10/2025Close up, the labeling is wrong, it should say "Kimdura® PolyPro". It's just a standard "Chemical Resistant" polypropelene substate, expensive and not as durable as PVF/PVC. 140
U.S. Graphics Company @us.graphics · 18/10/2025The PVF TT label has survived (red & yellow), but the Kimdura® PolyPro with resin ink (bottom left in white) is starting to wear out. Non-objective 90 day test on my personal laptop. 2181

U.S. Graphics Company @us.graphics · 04/01/2025Quick update. New definition version v1.1.2, users can now build using the old name, "Berkeley Mono" with customizations. Seems like a trivial change, but it took longer than expected to implement. Also added contextual help, which ideally should not be hidden but for now it is better than nothing. 0222
