So Xerox will supply you the TX cartridges included in your click as per CMYK rather than White/Gold/Silver/Clear/Pink where you need to buy them yourself?

I'm hoping Affinity can improve/simplify their current implementation of data merge.

Thanks! That's perfect. Much easier than other instructions I saw ages ago - maybe it's the video format gets it across much easier than text.

We do it ourselves.

Yeah I guess so. Our binder has side glue so the hinge crease is needed. Think we've settled on 7mm hinge.

That's not what I've been told....

What would be awesome @Mike the Print Man is a video on getting the inside front cover and page 1 lined up with an image that spans over.

Thanks for that @jwheeler. I'm going to print that out and add/append.

Great write up. I was lucky enough to travel to the other side of the world and attend my first Drupa this year. After the initial WOW factor, I was hit with the thought that print is extremely buoyant in Europe, followed closely by that's what the vendors need us to believe as they themselves...

Sorry I'm not able to help. Sounds like an environment issue. I came in to my factory on the weekend and saw some jobs left out to be trimmed had gone a bit wavy over the weekend and that's with two heat pumps running constantly - now on dry mode. I don't think it'd be the paper. It's likely...

In NZ we really only have 3 main merchants. BJ Ball, B&F Papers and Spicers. Each have certain brands which they stock. I mostly use BJ Ball but have recently purchased some stock from Spicers specials list - a really nice Soporset Digital Uncoated. If I'm shopping for an established quality...

We also file by job number. My software automatically adds a folder to my server with JobNo - ClientCode - JobName so we can sort by latest jobs. For reprints we do the exact same. Didn't seem worth having a seperate process. For very regular jobs/clients we'll make a colour guide which we keep...

Our production job ticket comes from our own quote/job system. It is printed and stapled in a C4 envelope -these were printed for a job years ago that got cancelled at the last minute. Samples are put in there after the job is done and they are filed in job number order in filing cabinets...

I've got one of the cash ones of AliExpress. It's been pretty good. Needed a replacement blade and some adjustments but that was after wrapping 30k packs. All in all we're pretty happy with it. Had some clients who used to request shrink wrapped in quantities that we have switched over using...

Thanks Si. Was one of them the petal fan one? That went ahead and looked great. As your 2100 will be going to scrap ask if you can keep the fiery - or even just slide it out of the way when the press is all wrapped up.
