I've been toying around with this blog for some time. For some of us old timers in the industry we've either heard or been told that we have toner in our blood. To have someone describe you as having toner in your blood is a compliment and implies that you eat, sleep and breath the Copier business.
For those of us old timers in the copier business, many of us can say that the copier business has been very, very good to us. Over the years we've developed a passion for our industry, a dedication to excel and the desire to be the best.
Passion....is described as an intense emotion or compelling enthusiasm. Over the years, I've been fortunate to meet others who share my passion about copiers. There's one person though that I haven't been able to meet. That person is Daria Huddy. Daria is from the land down under (Australia) and is a self proclaimed Industrial Copier Artist!
So, let me back track a bit. With the change of copiers from analog to digital and then to color came many features that most users don't even know about. The ability to stretch an image vertically of horizontally, ability to produce a mirror image, ability to compensate for color (which means if the copier sees any color on the glass (platen) you can have that changed to another color, the ability to manipulate color (here you can add more or take away color, such as I could add more green yellow or take away red). My point is that by getting into the underbelly setting of these features you can produce some really bizarre images. Which could be considered a form of an artist impression.
Daria, is that Industrial Copier Artist that takes artist impression to a new level! Her passion for copiers is undeniably tremendous!
Daria's youtube page states "For Toner-Heads, consisting of copier industrialists, and artists, to network to, while preparations are being made to form a cohesive community, away from the general public, which will take time and patience, but the process will start with making and sharing art and ideas".
Many of Daria's video's show a KonicaMinolta Bizhub in her home, here Daria lets her artist passion run wild. In many videos she can been seen hugging, kissing and copying well, lets say.... mostly her. In other videos Daria will visit copiers in other locations and give you copier usability demonstrations.
Don't get me wrong this blog is not to poke fun of Daria artist impression, yes some of the videos are off the wall, however, I'm astonished that one person can have so much PASSION for copiers!

Daria, I love your stuff! Hey, ever think about trading that KonicaMInolta in for a Ricoh?
