We outsource our printing and focus mainly on binding and other post printing work.
We receive files from our clients who know nothing about printing and binding or are simply careless. We resize the pages and sometimes do a little editing and send for printing. Sometimes we ask for imposed pdf...
I will delete and look for possible correct forum. Perhaps post press or packaging.
Edit- somehow couldn't find delete option, found edit option though. May be admin can delete
Many times we are required to do debossing or foiling on book covers. I shall focus here on debossing.
While debossing especially on PU covered hard case book covers we are not getting good results especially where patches are involved. Sometimes we directly do on unpasted covers. The images are...
Yes. We are primitive. Therefore, we don't have an order numbering system. We get the files from customers. Most of the times we have to edit them. Sometimes, we send them back to customers ( who mostly want us to edit again). Then we send these files to printers for offset printing. When the...
In our case, many a times I need to reprint, say after 2 years. And, I may have edited a file several times before Finally printing. I usually keep those edited (intermediate) files. Sometimes I find it difficult to find which file was finally printed. How should one name those edited files...

We are considering a v grooving machine (flat bed type because they can groove mdf and don't curl the board). There are 2 types to my knowledge.
Type 1- Board is placed on table manually . Table moves through grooving blades

Does anyone have Logic/Ladder for Horizon BQ270 perfect binder?
Horizon seems to focus on selling new models. Their support for electronics seems to have dried up for older machines, or, is astronomically expensive. It's the right time to install a PLC for those who can't afford new models.
We have 2 Horizon BQ 270 perfect binders. They are pretty old and discontinued by the manufacturer.
Of the two only one is working. It is very difficult nigh impossible to locate any electronic faults. And, replaced main pcb card also got damaged. Economics now doesn't allow us to purchase new...
