I saw a Peleman Flat Bed Foil Printer in a store and the owner gave me a quick demo. I am thinking about getting one, primary use is for gold foil cover text on hard bound documents. Think bound thesis but in textured hard bound fabric covers. Previously I was looking at getting a gold foil...

Folks I have a powis parker fastback 20 which has a two compartment cooling rack for the books coming out of it. When we have a big run to bind this is less than ideal. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a larger capacity cooling rack separate to the machine, where the books lie...

I'm trying to do some quick and dirty image cropping in Acrobat Pro 2020. When I crop one side of an image using the little grab handle in the middle of a side of the image, it is then also cropping the perpendicular side of the image which I do not want it to do. If I wanted that I'd crop...

We receive a lot of documents to print which cause errors in Fiery and Total Flow Prep and they refuse to print. Nearly always, reprinting the PDFs using Microsoft Print to PDF gives us a document which we are able to print. So I'm wondering what is happening here and whether/how I can build a...

Can anyone explain to me how I can add a binding margin to a document using preflight in Acrobat Pro? At present I get my make ready software to do this but I wanted to see if I could already do it in Acrobat Pro. Current workflow is: - Multiple documents of various sizes combined into single...

Folks, I'm trying to switch to using PDF/JDF out of Total Flow Prep instead of using Postscript. Going well except a couple of issues with tabs: - With A4 tabs if I select "Apply settings to PDF and remove from job ticket" the tab then prints totally blank - not just the tab ear but the body...

So my printer has been warning about low staples for a while so I thought I'd proactively sort it before I'm on leave. I ordered a replacement staple holder and staples, but I also ordered a box full of just the staples to refill the empty holder to use next time. Problem is, I can't for the...

Folks, I'm looking for a machine (as compact as possible) to punch cover stock for wire binding. So, I need: - 2:1 and 3:1 punching (rectangular) - A4 and A5 support (incl. ability to suspend pins not used on A5) - Adjustability to make the punches line up with inner sheets which are punched...

I'd be grateful for any recommendations on use of preflight to help with this scenario: Most of our work is legal reprographics. Printing binders with tabs full of documents from external lawyers. Often CWS will stop printing halfway through a job because it found an error in the document...

So I've noticed especially when handling coated printed sheets that if I'm not very careful I am leaving fingerprints on them which end up looking like greasy smears. This may sound a very daft question but I'm wondering how best to avoid this. Do any of you wear gloves, or wash/wipe your...

Folks I'm trying to print onto Mondo Colour Copy coated glossy 135gm via the bypass tray. Bypass does not support duplex printing so I'm doing it manually. First side prints fine, but second side is jamming as it gets exactly halfway through the fuser. Any suggestions? I'm using the paper...

When Im trying to print a compliment slip from totalflow/fiery, I've enabled 'Crop Marks' so that I can cut them down to size on our stack cutter. But once i cut off the top part of the page, i've then lost the crop marks for the top right side of the page, and so on. So how do i then ensure...

due to stock issues i've bought some Xerox tab sheets (A4 1-10, product code 499632) the tabs are spaced differently to what i usually use and i'm struggling to configure them right in CWS. has anyone got the correct dimensions to put in?

Folks, I'm troubleshooting our office print recharging system (equitrac), and I downloaded some BW/Colour test pages and compiled them into a PDF for testing, which in principle contains 5 BW and 5 colour pages. Notes: - greyscale pages of the file give colour clicks when printed through...

Folks, my home inkjet (Brother J6530DW) is having some issues. Cyan has missing dots on the test page, and now a long streak on the trailing edge. See attached scan. Cyan was ok if using maximum print density, but the test pages never came out complete, & anything printed using normal density...

I've been sent a 1000 page PDF. at the bottom of each page are two blank text boxes (i know they're not actually boxes, but you catch my drift). What is the obvious way of automatically deleting them all in Acrobat Pro? I tried redact across all pages but i received an error. I tried cropping...

we don't have much space here but we have a very long corridor outside which we can temporarily occupy for large print runs. which got me thinking, I should get some long tables which can be folded away when not in use, for when we have to produce large runs of documents. A wall-paper table...

have recently updated to Windows 11. now when using fiery driver within an application (acrobat, word etc), if i open the job properties, then when i click print, it locks up. have tried the printer removal tool and reinstalled using latest versions. tried both enable/disable "update driver...

trying to print a bookmarked PDF section by section, by right clicking on bookmark and then selecting "print section". this works except when the a bookmark is connected to page 1 of the document. then the print dialogue never appears. this seems to be an historical bug which hasn't been...

have used tabbers for several years to get a4/a5 mylar tabs etc. for a while now they've been difficult to get hold of, and have now changed their website to www.mytabbers.co.uk they don't seem to answer the phone when ringing them. so i was wondering if anyone knows if they're still trading...
