After my experience with my laser printer causing the paper to come out like crinkle cut chips, I managed to squeeze the budget and purchase an ex-lease inkjet production printer. (ComColor 7150) I'm happy with the result and even though the quality of the print could be better, I believe it is...

Has anyone tried refilling the empty cartridges of a Duplo Ultrabind PUR binder? I'm just wondering whether this can be done and whether it would save a few dollars doing so. These are the ones I'm referring to: link

I have a slight issue with my Riso ComColor 7150, in that it sometimes seems to shift one pixel left/right. which makes a line of text look out of shape, almost italic. See the attached image.

I started my printing "career" using low end equipment and cheap copy paper. Overall it went well, but due to having a few issues (cold and damp weather setting in, paper curling, ink bleeding, etc..) I am starting to be a little more critical and I am on the lookout for better quality paper...

I am currently perfect binding long grain A4 copy paper and trimming it down on 3 sides to A5 size. But what if I printed 2-up and trimmed a few mm off the sides, instead of 40-50 mm? It would mean reducing the wastage and almost halving the cost of the paper, but I would end up with binding the...

I am looking at buying my first production machine, mainly for printing A4 black and white pages for perfect bound books. I have just been given 2 ex-lease options, the ComColor 7150 (NZD 6,000+GST) and the GD7330 (NZD 13,000+GST). I searched this forum on advice on the Riso ComColor range and...

I am starting a small publishing venture, on a low budget, in a remote and isolated part of the world (New Zealand). This means I am limited to whatever is available locally and fits into my small budget. I started off with an Epson EcoTank ET-16600, but the speed is too slow to be efficient...
