    V180 and tabs with Freeflow

    Thanks for the input but so far i'm still striking out. I believe something needs to toggle on or off in the sizing language but I believe Xerox has to do it. They will be in to take a look

    No Respect

    I think 12 is fair. South Florida game was one of the most entertaining games of the year. To add injury to insult they will probably lose their coach also.

    What would you charge for this job?

    We are an in-plant service and would charge $7,100. Would strongly recommend perfect bind at a cheaper cost. It would run on 2 konika machines and overtime would be incorporated into the cost. One person running copies, one person cutting and speed punching, and two people coiling and crimping.

    Adobe Imposition Plug-In

    Has anyone ever used this plug in? I am a former Preps user and we are downsizing and was wondering if this would be comparable for digital use.
