Hi. Thanks in advance for your input. I'm developing a new coffee table book product which is small enough where I can - in theory - use my pouch laminators to laminate the cover vs my roll laminator. I'm sure it's me but I truly dislike using the roll laminator. I guess more accurately it's...

Thanks. I've reached out to them and hopefully will speak with a sales rep tomorrow. It's unclear whether they even know what Fastbind is, but I believe they provide book printing and binding services, so it's worth a conversation at least.

Does anybody out there provide the elusive service of creating finished wrapped hard cases for use with Fastbind Booxter? I'm trying to lighten my load a bit with a new book I'm publishing. Specifically what I'm looking for is the printing of the cover artwork I would provide, laminating it...

Hi. I've recently purchased a Booxter Zero Max from Fastbind but they are backordered for some unappealing amount of time. If anybody here has one, and is willing to pack it and ship it, I'm interested. Thanks.

I've been using Vpaper for a few months now in an 8.5x11 inch size. I have a possible need for a larger size but Peleman doesn't offer any other sizes. On the other hand, I could take out my wallet and buy a Vpaper Tower, which is used to add the hinges to the paper. But I don't even know...

Likely not more than 50-100 per week. Initially far fewer.

Hello to all and thanks in advance. One of my new print products is a book, which I can happily print on my digital press. But I need to print a dust jacket. The dimensions of the book are such that I can't print the dust jacket on my digital press. The book is a large coffee table book and...

Hello All. Is anybody familiar with glow in the dark substrates that the Versant 180 similar digital press can print on? The other detail is that ideally they won't have an adhesive backing. So far the one or two I've found have an adhesive backing, presumably for cutting and sticking to...

I wound up coming full circle and getting a basic import: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H97H9RQ Foil stamping is new to me. Few or none of the machines I've seen (besides the incredibly cool foil printers) are truly what I'd like. So I'll cut my teeth on this basic model. If I can...

The $200-400 hot stamper on Amazon is the direction I'm leaning towards, along with a couple of custom dies obtained elsewhere. I noticed those cheaper foil printers but they make me nervous. Buying through Amazon is likely less risky than through Dhgate or AliExpress, but I'd rather get one...

I've been looking at something like this. These are a different beast though. From what I understand, the "print head" moves and can cover large areas like a printer does. Maybe for my next birthday. :-) I'm trying to stay around $1000 for a hot stamper that can fit the entire book title, or...

Yeah, I've noticed that. On eBay as well. Some (or most or all) of them don't stamp more than a few letters, or one line of letters, etc. Some of them list a stamp area of let's say 10x13cm but then they show the rack that only holds one line of text. So I've stayed away from those so far...

This is really cool and I could leverage my Versant press. The only consideration is whether I want to change my binding method, get a new binding machine, etc. I shall ponder. But it gives me some ideas of other things to look into.

This seems like a great option for foiling paper or anything other stock that can be printed on. But I'm trying to get this artwork directly onto a hard cover. Or have a way to affix that printed foiled output to the hard cover.

I'm about to start self-publishing a couple of different books. The plan for Day1 is a simple heat binding process using hard covers, such as Unibind Steelbook. I'm going to print a nice dust jacket on my Versant but I'd also like to mark the hard cover itself just not to have a completely...

Could very well be. Customers are viewing my output under a magnifying glass - which highlights every little flaw that wouldn't be noticed if printing at normal font sizes such as 8pt or higher. I'm printing a serif font at 1.7pt in this particular scenario. I have little margin for error. A...

I don't think you misinterpreted. I'm not familiar with the hopper but will look into it.

Ok, so I gave up too quickly last night. The console as well as Command Workstation give error/warning indicators but the press does print with only one K, at least with K1 filled and K2 empty. Not sure what mayhem would ensue if it were reversed. This does help a great deal with determining...

I tried that but the press console shows an error that didn't seem like could be bypassed. I'll look at that again though in a few minutes. Good reminder.

I print text content using very small font sizes that is viewed under a magnifying glass, and had recently noticed a recent drop off in crispness. K1 was at 40% K2 was at 100%. I swapped them and saw sharper text and less toner stray dots on the sheet. Then I noticed a similar dropoff...
