at the Drupa 86

Gregory von Gruenberg came from Germany so naturally he spoke fluent German and he worked in R&D.     Coupled with his outgoing and likable personality, he was an ideal person to support Polychrome' s booth at the Drupa which was the biggest graphic arts show in the world held every 4th year in Dusseldorf in Germany.           His wife Annelise recently gave me a copy of Drupa 86 in which Gregory helps out not only in the supporting of the technical presentation but also himself in the Broadway show-like presentation with singing and dancing girls.     The video is about 1 hour long and besides Polychrome covers entire ground showing competitor's booth as well.         Someday if there is enough interest in seeing what others were like, I could upload entire video.      But it would be rather boring to most of the Polychrome friends.     So here it is, only the Polychrome portion.        You will see PC32PN, a two headed monster....or one processor processing both positive and negative plates with separate dedicated developing sections.      This was our answer to some competition claiming one plate could be used both as a negative and a positive plate.    You also see Co-Racer by DIC, projection platemaking system and OPC 2000.         We were growing up from a small consumable material manufacturing company to a system offering
