In my experience the Affinity created PDF's have been as good as anything out of an Adobe app. The PDF's I've received that were created in Canva have been a Sh**show. I'm hoping that the Affinity team can improve things on the Canva side.

So ... the EFI Fiery that you can have outfitted with Acrobat Pro / Pitstop(A PDF Plugin) is not designed to run PDF's? I've been using Fiery's in PDF exclusive environments since at least 2004 and this is a new one on me.

It looks like an interesting Euro game. I'll take a look at the Dice Tower review. 4 player 60 minute games are a sweet spot for my board game group and I think the theme would appeal to the people I play with.

Thanks, I reached out to our Standard dealer. Our PB and trimming gear our Standard & that would give us a common UI. We'll see what the price is.

We are case binding. The book blocks are glued on the perfect binder. Most of are text blocks a printed on digital webs We don't run a lot of impositions. A 5.5x8.5, 6x9 and 7x10 may all run on the same impo and we accept the white waste in favor of the labor savings. The only adjustment at the...

I'm in PA and 2 of the 3 largest Newspapers in the state are now non-profits. The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Lancaster Intellegencer (as of this year). I think this model is going to be critical if Newspapers are to survive and provide value to their communities.

Here's our use case. We need to be able to cut a variety of covers to the bleed box from a 13x19 sheet. for example 3 6x9 with a 1" spine 1 6x9 with 1.125" spine 5 7x10's with a 1" spine etc... All of the covers are 1 up at this point in the process. The standard stock is 8pt with between a 1.0...

Editing Duplo reached out to me. We're located in Lancaster County, central PA. and are looking for a local Duplo dealer. We're looking at the 618 & 648. I've reached out to Duplo via form, email and voice mail. I haven't even received an auto reply.

I ran the Ricoh 7110 for 3 years and it was an absolute beast. We had the large paper drawers. Try 4 configured for long sheets. On the 7110 that's a permanent decision. The ability to run stingers was a huge value add for us. The 7110 did not duplex long sheets and we still got good...

I'm in Lancaster PA. One of our local bindery house Bindery Associates over short run Smyth(e) Sewn binding. I don't know if they can recommend some one to do the printing for you.

When was the press last "Fingerprinted" at my last sheetfed shop we had a curve for each press that was applied when the plates were made. I believe our ink manufacture came in and worked with Kodak to get the curves into Prinergy.

Near monopolistic power? A lack of concern due to market dominance? Rampant nepotism? just a few other ideas... In my experience a diverse group tends to see problems from a unique perspective.

I ran a DBM attached to a pair of 4000 collators about 10 years ago. The DBM is pretty basic including the trimmer. The blades are also proprietary and were very expensive to replace. We rarely ran anything over 40 pages and it was fine., it doesn't do any kind of crushing .

We had an AB-Dick 2340 at a previous job, it ran from the early 2000's until it was decommissioned last year. We used it with Heidelberg, AB-Dick, Ryobi, Multi and Davidson presses. The downside is you have to deal with plate chemistry.
