Cover was offset printed.

I have to bind a book ( 2 types, soft bind and hard bind) whose cover is coated art paper, black solid patch printed, matte laminated. However, when I bind it there becomes visible a white line at the spine crease. This looks ugly. Has anyone faced a similar situation? Any ideas how to solve this?

Many years ago I saw a chinese machine that had both pneumatic and hydraulic pressure. Pneumatics will bring the impression down and hydraulic will further press it. They told me it helps in blind embossing and debossing. I have no further information on it. By the way, which brand are you buying?

Where can one find high res pictures and vectors for printing for free or low prices ?

Let me check. I sold the machine.

Thanks Puch. However, I am not talking about creep ( moving image by little bit every page). I am talking about moving 1st page image so that it is not covered by side glue/side crease area of a book cover. The paper thickness has no role here.

While printing and making a hard bound book we move the image away from spine by 5-6 mm on the first/ last page and end paper and paste that empty area with 5-6 mm image of the opposite page ( paste 5mm image of end paper to the first page and vice versa, to hide empty area in case of...

To process /laminate printed sheets after printing, I think, it is better to dry the sheets ( ink evaporation) before lamination. How can you hasten drying and curing so that you can laminate the sheets quickly? Applying powder worsens lamination.

2 rollers of my MBO folding machine rollers have got damaged. Due to delivery schedule I have not enough time to send them for repairs outside our factory. Till I send them for rerubberising outside I decided to do in house. Can anybody guide on which rubber /PU grade and hardness should I use...

I had Canon ipf 3100. After having variety of problems (and incurring losses) I abandoned it in favour of Epson. Happier since then.

In my experience generally the MBO people are quite cooperative. And, have you considered degreasing rollers, with offset rollers degreasing paste. MBO, I think, sold or recommended one. How practical it is to buy is another question. ​​​​​​

May be it is a cycle. They dumped paper in favour of plastic packaging and now reverse (environment). Will it happen with digital? For serious and long reading I find paper to be more pleasant (with its shortcoming like search). However, I am not the world. Younger generation likes digital and...

Thanks Aramis and Magnus59. ​​​​​​can you please elaborate on action list in Pitstop Pro for page splitting ? I don't find any. I am a Newbie in prepress.

I have a file of a 12 page brochure in coreldraw from a client. The brochure closed size is A4. It has to be center pinned. However, the design is spread across A3. e.g. Cover page 2 and page 1 of inner pages will have half design each and inner page 2 and 3 will half design each. So, when you...
