    Contracts...

    I feel the same way about the union bug. It's all a racket to line someone's pockets. I always get nervous about having any client become "too large" of a percentage of the business to the point where if we lose the client the business could potentially go under without it. We're careful to...

    Contracts...

    I've actually heard similar stories of this from several people now, but we haven't had to deal with it yet. I imagine that your attorney's can add language that says something like "we agree to this contract except in instances where it violates local, state or federal laws." Then you're not...

    Photoshop with AI Generation

    Adobe Products are too expensive. We're paying $99 ish per license and our shop requires multiple licenses. It's crazy expensive. We pay more "per month" than we used to pay per year. Adobe will kill themselves in the long run as their competitors make off with the margin of room they've left...

    Photoshop with AI Generation

    I had not thought of this. Canva has been very useful for our business as it lets everyone create something quickly.

    Digital over runs. What do you do?

    Every I take this approach as well. One time had a customer who complained because we gave them the extras. They thought they had ordered it wrong and the next time they ordered half as many expecting that they were going to get the same quantity as the previous time. Since then we've been...

    Photoshop with AI Generation

    Welcome to the generation that will KNOW they can generate fake images on the fly BUT will still believe every photo/video they see online is true and real.

    Does onprintshop.com work?

    Consider posting a price range on your website for your software. I refuse to even consider companies that don't do this because I can't afford to waste 2-3hrs on the phone with every company or in emails only to find out the software is significantly outside our budget. A price range might open...

    Looking for Advice on Sheet Cutter (Duplo or AeroCut?)

    We've had both the Aerocut Brand and the Duplo brands and I prefer the Duplo far above the Aerocut brand for... an endless list of reasons. It just a better thought out machine.

    Fastest way to add bleeds to a supplied PDF file.

    You need to use the option that says "edges and corners" and not just edges. There's four different options, You can play around with which of the options gives you the best result when generating a bleed.

    Do I have to laminate both sides for folds

    For some reason I thought creasing vs scoring was depending on what kind of method was used. IE. I thought creasing was where the entire crease was pressed top to bottom simultaneously (like in the duplos) and that scoring was done with a roller where the sheet rolls through a roller that...

    Teaching Creatives

    I don't mind canva so much. We have screenshots of the settings in Canva and we are slowly getting more files with bleeds now that I can send them screenshots and show them how to download with a bleed and keep their stuff away from the edges of the file. I do dislike that canva locked the CMYK...

    Fastest way to add bleeds to a supplied PDF file.

    It's second on the list for a reason. We use the mirror margins in Adobe most of the time unless they have angels at the edges. Yes, it converts it to an image. We open the pdf file at 600ppi to try to minimize the quality problems. It's not an ideal solution but if we are really worried about...

    Fastest way to add bleeds to a supplied PDF file.

    We have three ways we do this without using pitstop pro. 1) You can do the mirror the margin function with a fixup in Adobe Acrobat DC - this works good for longer documents. 2) We have a mirror margins script for Adobe Photoshop - this autogenerates the .125 selection box and then autofills...

    Xerox rant!

    That's one of my favorite things about our switch to canon. We preprint a lot of books (2-up) and then run them back through, or with full bleed we follow the same steps you do. Xerox would always charge us the black and white rate for "blank" sheets. Canon does not charge us for blank sheets...

    iJetColor Envelope Printer

    We bought an iJet Envelope Printer last year and we really don't use it enough to justify the cost. If someone is interested in purchasing it we are considering selling the unit (depends on what someone would offer us for it). Located in Phoenix, AZ. It probably needs a new print head, we only...

    Matching the Proof

    My favorite is: This file doesn't look the same as the one we printed 5 months ago. When I compare the two files they made over 40 changes to the artwork including changing the main graphics...

    printers on carpet

    We have one shop with concrete floors and one shop with carpet. The shop with carpet is a whole lot easier to cleanup than the one without. It's pretty rare to 'spill' toner and any excess toner is a harder to sweep off the cement than it is to vacuum it up. When we had Xerox equipment we just...
