Technically, the content aware feature in photoshop is AI but now that they switched the old content aware to their new AI it's gotten much worse at predicting what I need (at least in my experience). If someone has a great way to use AI for adding bleeds to files let me know? I'd love that...

Thanks everybody! I'm going to get quotes on the pieces mentioned here. We rarely run 20lb paper. We don't even stock it, it's a special order for us. Our standard lightest paper is 28lb that way we can order in bulk and save a few pennies since our distributor gives us a discount if we order a...

Our shop has been using a table-top folder (Duplo DF-990A) to do tri-fold brochures but we are having trouble with it and our volume on trifold brochures has grown so we are thinking of upping our game on those. We are having to spend a lot of time cleaning the rollers and it's getting to be...

Yeah, I was buying from my binding but when they got rid of the local warehouse and then suddenly it was taking weeks to get supplies, I went looking for an alternative. Discovered that Oregon Lamination was less expensive and usually could get me supplies day-of or just a few days instead of weeks.

I'm curious about who owns the copyright to AI generated content. How do you verify that AI isn't using copyrighted materials in their final output. It feels like a company that isn't very careful would be opening themselves up to a lot of risk if they don't know that the materials they are...

That's useful to know That's useful to know. Thank you!

We asked them about a third machine because we are starting to get a lot of downtime on service calls but they want to up the click charges if we get the third machine. We already have two v900s - the sales rep is suggesting a v1350. The v900s were installed in January after we had a very bad...

I'm getting told by our Canon Sales Representative that the v900s are rated for 250k impressions per month BUT only for 8.5x11 plain letter paper. My Math is this: That would be 125k Impressions on full sheets (at most) Salesperson says running 12x18 - 110lb or 130lb Coated media that lowers...

For some reason I’m having trouble making myself be as concerned with the machine cost this time around. A lease payment of $1500/mo vs $9000-$10000/mo in click charges. I’m more questioning what I’m getting for 10k a month because right now it feels like I’m getting a lot of downed machines and...

I find it's useful to know what's going on in the industry so that I can negotiate from a position of knowledge. If you don't know what the going rate is it's easy to accept BS from a vendor especially if they're paid on a commission basis. Plus, if everyone just starts accepting a higher rate...

We aren’t necessarily in the market yet for new equipment but are in the beginning stages since our leases will all start coming up in the next few years. I’ve got one vender telling me the new “going” rate is well over $0.06 per click (nearly double what we’ve been at). So he’s giving me an...

Oh. I didn't know this. I'm not sure how I missed this memo.

AI has it's uses but I don't see it being usable without human help for most things. You have to refine it.

We've run into similar issues with some of the programs that people are starting to use as they switch away from Adobe Creative Cloud. Gradient effects around fonts or in the background of images are a problem. One specific example is PDF files generated in Affinity seems to have a ton of...

That’s awesome to know! Thanks for sharing, I’m often curious how we are viewed in different places. :)

If we want to get political. My personal opinion/ genuine curiosity. Healthcare levels are nuanced. Worrying about it is a separate thing. Taxes are nuanced and come in many forms (not always visible). Fundamental rights: You can't have a "fundamental right" that requires someone else to...

Our shop sold two of these machines three years ago and barely got $5000 each for them. Primarily because they are EOL with Xerox so getting replacement parts now is nearly impossible. Good luck. You'll likely need to find a buyer who will want them for parts to keep their existing machines...

The black needs to be blacker. The yellow needs to be less yellow and the green needs to be more… lush. In other words spin some fake dials and print the exact same thing again and it’ll be “just right” The savvy ppl intentionally make one thing obviously wrong (spelling is the easiest) so...

I think the question is whether or not you'd have any support figuring out how to operate it or fix it if it doesn't work quite right out of the box. What are the return options (if any) if it doesn't work out of the box. What kind of glue does the machine support and where can that be sourced.

SEO is more about relevance. IE. If someone is searching for printing and you've "tricked" google into sending customers to your website but the customers immediately bounce away then google loses confidence in your shop for SEO purposes and will stop sending customers there. That's why having...
