I was a stripper for 25 years, mostly for large shops with 6 color Hiedelburg presses. I do miss the hand work and that's why I love cabbing so much. I consider it 3d graphic art. Printing now a days in all digital, in my final years in the biz I did typesetting and computer-to-plate processing. I also ran a Xerox Docucolor 6060 for 3 years. That thing printed 12x18" four color process with the click of a mouse.
Back to the orig post, that camera should do fine. Use the close-up setting and a tripod. I use a 12 year old Nikon coolpix 995 and it's 3.34 megapixel. I use the macro setting (little flower symbol) and the aperture priority setting. i set the white balance on fine and use two compact fluorescent bare bulbs (bluemax high definition daylight).
How are your results so far?

Thank you very much everyone for your nice comments. This is one of my favorite materials to work with and I just bought a 60 piece parcel. The last three are from the new batch.

I tend to be hard on my wheels but I'm getting better and I get around 800-1000 cabs depending on size and hardness of materials.

I'm loving the lace agate cab Ed. You are getting really good at cutting and polishing.

Thanks for the compliments everybody.
Adrian, the 2nd one is actually opalized wood.
Thank you for the ID Bob, I think you right.
Yes, 10,000 samples in a busy store. Saturday's there can be as many as 7000 cardholders coming in and all they count is the person with the card. If you figure in the families and couples it can be as many as 20,000 people through the doors (and most would like a samples).
