Perhaps another title needs to be arrived at, instead of Graphic Artist or Graphic Designer. Those terms do lend themselves to "creative" talents and gifting. Preparing files for output falls into the "technical" side, which "creatives" are abhorred by. One of our local Graphic Designers sent me...

I guess the question is, should we let anyone see "beyond the veil," or not let them see anything beyond the front counter/customer service area? Anytime I've shown people around the shop I feel sick afterwards, first, for wasting my time ..... second, for wasting theirs (they had no clue what...

I had the same issue once. Scared me big time, as I had made certain promises regarding this job. I finally punched in a higher weight of paper than I was actually running and it came out perfect.

I have never had the impression cylinder out of the press, and with it so tight in there it is a joke trying to see what's going on. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to take that cylinder out just to see what was happening. I did finally get it going. I couldn't tell if it was binding on the...

Sending out an SOS .... Cruising along on #10 envelopes just fine. Took a break. Came back, fired up, then envelopes start flying everywhere. Found the impression cylinder gripper sorta stuck closed. Lubricated everything, blew out everything, still has a hard spot when opening. Spring...

Got it!

Any AB Dick service guys on here?

Well, my faithful AB Dick 9810 (w/T-head) has got to keep running. Cannot see how I can do without her. And I'll eventually get all the worn parts replaced (one at a time, I suppose). I had a brass gear, deep inside the press, go out the other day, so I robbed one from my parts press. It has...

Let me do some measuring and see what I can come up with. Thank You arrossetti for that information!

I don't think that I have all of the attachments to do booklet trimming on our powered cutter, and find that the mechanical cutter gives me better control of the cut. Whether it is a face trim only, or trimming on all three sides, I'm in control of the status of the booklets in the pile, as well...

Thank You both ....

Speed ... While I wish the machine was faster, it's wa-a-a-a-y faster than when we sent our work out, plus, we don't turn work away any more. One of the techs that have worked on our machine told me that if our volume ever went up to where we really felt we needed a faster machine that we may be...

Just to follow up .... have had the C70 for several months. Still learning something new every day. Still could tweak with the SIQA a little more, but getting by for now. Am LOVING the quality, the versatility, and am OK with the terms of the lease. This was a very good choice, just should have...

So, I have, and still use on a daily basis, a Chandler &Price, Patented July 14, 1909, 26" guillotine cutter. Not sure what year it was actually made, but I can do some jobs on there that I cannot safely do on our powered cutter. Anyway, the blades have been ground down to where all of the...

Sure it's not the envelopes? I've had this problem, changed "brand" during the run and the problem went away. I will try the above suggestions next time the problem arises though.
