    Is de-printer a viable tech?

    "They aim to cut the amount of planet-heating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the paper and pulp industry by reducing demand for office paper." -- do they take into consideration the manufacturing and using of the new paper and hardware? I'm ignorant, but it seems like people dumped their...

    Xerox Claiming End Of Life for my Xerox C75 in 1 year.

    I have a v80 that's nearing end of service. They'll still service it, but they won't write a contract. We'll have to pay for each visit, parts, etc. We'll be at the back of the line to those who have a service contract for other machines. And parts will become harder to source. You can do it...

    Do you pass your discounts on to the client?

    confusing. Who PAID for the materials. If the contractor paid, then the end-user/buyer shouldn't be involved, nor get the rebate. If your friend directly paid for materials and the roofer supplied and only was paid for LABOR, then your friend gets the rebate. So, who paid the supplier for the...

    unfortunately, you are uncommon. most people either can't or won't learn anything. It would be great if all legit designers were able to have an internship at a print shop for a few months. I have two designers on my team who are both young and aren't grabbing on to the idea that there is...

    Your revisionist history is humourous. This is about pre-press and you said... If you don't provide them a proof after your edits, you are responsible for the end result. If the client is unhappy, they will not pay, and your boss will be annoyed with you. It is about prepress, it is...

    Signature plug in for Indesign?

    i haven't used the InDesign plug-in Smartstream in years, but I do remember it being a useful tool. It could even do dutch-cut, i think.

    it has nothing to do with proofing, but rather you said, "Trust us"... on something subjective. That opens the door for the client to be disappointed.

    Better Homes & Gardens, People temporarily halting some print subscriptions

    I looked this up and wonder if this is an excuse to simply stop sending the printed magazines to subscribers who live in places the advertisers don't care about. "The subscribers involved represent about 7% of the company's total print subscriber base, the spokesperson said. The spokesperson...

    Mounting Methods for Small Business?

    FYI for OP, I worked with a guy very experienced in doing all this and he rarely turned the heat on with the laminators (they have both cold and hot). He simply had more success not using the heat. so, you don't always need the most expensive equipment. The owner of the shop bought a lot of...

    Yikes! We use an adhesive vinyl/substrate, align, tape down, peel and squeegee, then sometimes laminate. But... Outsourcing, when time's available, is still a good idea. We use imaginetr and signs365 when the quantity is sufficient
