    Customer file submission

    Its consoling to hear that this problem seems to be everywhere. Here in Europe we get similar situations. As a small company we take different approaches to solving / managing this tiresome issue. If it's a new customer we ALWAYS quote for printing based on print ready PDF's. If the files...

    Hi Print Service, Thank you for the feedback......now some answers from me.... 1. Auto cutting - perhaps the computer doesn't know your Clamp is back up. Check your Clamp top sensor if this is the case. It won't step until it knows Clamp is up. Checked the clamp proximity sensor and its OK...

Our quotations always state whether artwork is to be supplied...
