10 Haikus that celebrate print in a fun way
Ramu Ramanathan pens 10 Haikus that celebrate print in a fun way
20 Aug 2013 | By Samir Lukka
1.
A press I know, prefers
To print in winter
Instead of summer.
2.
Little concentric dots
Make up the star's
Fake smile on her face.
3.
The more expensive a press
The more inexpensive the jobs
It renders, in the third shift.
4.
Colour management is
One more drop of ink
When no one is looking.
5.
62 year old operator
On the fourth unit
Looks magenta-ish.
6.
A paper that winks at me
When I read the headlines
And groan about the nation.
7.
The two presses compared
The number of make-readies
And botched jobs they had seen.
8.
Hey smartphone!
Why are you staring at me?
I am not extinct, as yet.
9.
Perfect print job
Marred
By customer squabbles.
10.
One press asks, do you read
Every single word you print
Or do you leave it to your spectrophotometer.
