    Guaranteed payment on mailing?

    I'd run not walk. We had a client who we had done business with for years. They owed us $18,000 and needed a $2,000 job done. We asked for payment of past due invoices as well as the $2,000 up front. Had no idea they were going bankrupt. They did a Chapter 11 reorganization 30 days later. The...

    Azura TE Light Sensitivity...

    My TE plates sit out in full light before processing and after. I have the same engine imaging them so, it's either bad plates, bad laser set up, bad gum, bad clean-out unit or combination, but you should not be having light sensitivity.

    Saddle Stitch booklet maker for a small shop

    You can pick up a used Bostitch Saddle Stitcher for under 1K US. It's a hand feed and you will have to book trim three sides after on a guillotine. We've used ours for 20 years. Mostly for jobs under 500.

    Problems sealing pressure seal pieces after printing on Xerox DP135

    I'll be honest I had no idea what pressure seal pieces were. But being curious I googled it and found this on a manufacturers page. May be an explanation. Talks about humidity and a shelf life.

    Cleaning the Paper Path?

    I have found that the "glitter Cannon" works best. The initial air blast clears away the light contaminants and then the glitter acts as a "scrubbing" agent to get out the really heavy stuff. Working on a patented version myself so...shhhh...

    Scratch-off printing.

    In the past we purchased roll labels from Scratch Card Printer & Scratch Off Label Supplier: Scratch Off Systems and hand applied. I believe they can be machined on as well if it's a large run.

    ''flexible'' azura plates...

    On the back of each plate there is an alphanumeric code. After the first letter there is a "<" symbol. I was told (2005/2006?)that this is the grain direction and we should always load our plates consistently in the same direction. For the last 9-10 years we make sure that arrow always points to...
