I've never known a customer to require an excuse in order to blame the printer. Customers tend to confuse printers with ad agencies. The difference of course being that printers accept their limitations, or simply have little desire to make up a bunch of fancy drivel to fill a printed piece. Ad...

When customers came to me for a bulk mail piece - often a post card of sorts - they'd ask me what to put on it - how to word it. I'm like; WTF! It's your business, not mine, how the F am I supposed to know? I might have expressed that to them a bit differently. But I would nearly always advise...

Not entirely true. When corporations have been awarded a monopoly, or perhaps just 2-3 companies control a market, they can charge what they please with little, or only pretend (to pacify the minions), oversight. As it stands now the system isn't working. The result is an unjust society - one...

bad. ☺️

It could be argued that politics has always been artificial & fake. And speaking of news; it's been the trend for a number of years that the photos supplied with news stories are not from the current story but from who knows where & when - as often as not from sources such as Getty Images. Many...

Seems more scary than good.

I suppose I was aiming more at those corporations that fall under the 'monopoly' category. That's not a fit for commercial printers, who still must compete for market share. Besides, most commercial printers that I'm aware of don't even have CEO's. Owners & bosses maybe. CEO is a title reserved...

What if we lived in a world where corporations didn't have hundreds of people doing jobs designed to produce 'sale' items and design ways to scam and deceive their customers into believing they were getting a deal instead of being played with and in a nutshell, screwed. What if corporations...

Does this mean no scratching your . . .ah never mind.

As Cornish says. It's common practice to wear cheap (white) cotton gloves, UV coated or not.

Guy in the middle looks like Randy Bachman.

The line work was done with Letraset.

Agreed, electric stapler would help. Use earplugs. I recall them causing a sharp bang each hit that could start to get damaging after a few hundred. A hand stapler used that often seems like a direct route to carpel tunnel.

Assuming raffle tickets are only an occasional job, it will help to collate as several on a sheet before cutting & stapling. How many on the sheet will likely depend on how many you can number at a time and you'll have to do a bit of math to coordinate the numbers.

Similarly, punching waxed paper when using your cerlox machine seems to help as well.

Tales of the 70's. An Itek camera and an AB Dick. Just get a fussy job up & running and through the haze you hear the dreaded; "Got 1,000 copies, customer waiting!" What The F**k!!! (this was well before the days of initialisms such as WTF!) Or 200 pages, 50 copies. Fingers like prunes from...

Almost as bad as the printing industry, whereby many/most customers will wait until the last possible second before ordering, despite that they've been warned many times that there comes a limit to what miracles can be performed. Notice my very cool segue back to the topic of printing, which is...

I'd be old too if I hadn't stopped having birthdays 11 years ago. It appears you & I are the good ones. I can't recall the last time I saw someone in store paying by cheque. Could be it's just not a thing around here. I'm not sure of the last time I wrote out a cheque for anything. Maybe old...

Amateurs! One should always scan any line (& note cashier on duty) for old people prior to entering the queue. Not a guarantee of quick passage but as close as it gets.
