We have an old Hohner Favorit stitcher that is giving us issues when stitching books over half an inch thick. About every third staple is screwed up. We had a repairman work on it and ever since it hasn't acted right. Does anyone have any recommendations for the service of such an old machine...

I tend to take our cutters for granted. I just kept thinking that anyone with a digital press could run this for the same cost without thinking about the finishing and YES it has 4 edge bleeds.

LOL We just run them through our Ricoh and do all the cutting on our regular cutter.

I have a little job we bid and print every year for a non-profit and it is pretty much the only job they give us even though we are 3 blocks down the street. I suspect that we are pricing system isn't charging what the market will bear. 300 Copies 80# Dull Cover 12" x 36" The price we charge...

Maybe I am a conspiracy theorist then, because my first thought was that this was that this was about making sure we were under their thumb. They don't want to deal with anyone they aren't in complete control of. Kinda like the mob in the old days. If you want to be successful and work in this...

We have been dealing with our 4th largest client for over ten years, but over the last year, they have started sending us a lot more work that was previously going out of state. They have become our largest client and they pay when they order. We enjoy working with them and the people we deal...

Ahhh yes. We stumbled upon a copy of that back in the day and played with it a little. If memory serves it was geared more towards books. My cousin worked at TWA and they had given him a few copies of it for some reason and we installed one, but never did more than play around with it. I...

We started out with QuarkXpress, Illustrator, and Colorstudio. I remember Photoshop being a cheaper alternative to Colorstudio that some of our clients would use. I spent many hours after school and in the evenings scanning, color correcting, and creating artwork in Colorstudio.

They have 13x19 vacuum feeders. One has an oversize 27" top drawer and the other has two drawers and the bypass tray.

Just throwing this out there. We recently started having regular jams after the cooling belt and found that the soft rubber transfer rollers just after the cooling belt were literally falling apart and had reduced in size enough to not be pulling the sheet through. After fixing this, no more...

Experiences like this really leave me scratching my head. Our 7210s have been able to print on virtually anything we throw at them except Tyvek. We just finished a 10,000 run of 24pt Tango C1S and the registration was perfect for something that is thicker than the machine is specced to run. We...

I have used 600 dpi in the past and it still looked fine in my eyes.

Another print shop near us has been sending jobs over to us because they are having a similar issue on their V80. The techs say they have run out of solutions. They are pretty frustrated.

One way we have "fixed" this issue is to simply rasterize the page. I hate doing that as I know it isn't ideal, but it works.

I have been using the FusionPro with Acrobat 64-bit for several months. Haven't had any issues with it so far, unless it is contributing to the delays and sluggishness.

This was designed by an ad agency used for several of their properties in this area based on the East Coast. They are a pleasure to deal with and always very punctual in getting us art, but I have long felt that their files were overly complex.

Dov, I greatly appreciate your willingness to take a look at the file. Our client is obsessively concerned with security, but they approved my sharing it with someone for troubleshooting purposes. I private messaged you a Dropbox link. This is a variable data mailing that has tens of thousands...

Dov, I was going from memory and you are correct on the X-4 format. I tried your suggestions, but they didn't seem to help with speed. I am attaching a file showing the document space usage. Not sure if that helps. The redraws are painfully slow. I have a 3060 nVidia GPU. Ripping time isn't...

Around January of 2023 our suppliers got most of the paper back in stock and things have been close to normal ever since. Even had some prices go down.

I spend hours daily using Acrobat with Pitstop Pro and FusionPro to work on customer-supplied PDFs and add variable data elements for mailings. Most of the time Acrobat works pretty well, but it does crash a few times per week for no apparent reason. Then we get to the more complicated files...
