    The Job Application

    So much better off. My new job interview question is "tell me about a building or crafting project you recently finished." If they haven't built anything or aren't in some way crafty with their hands their ability to understand printing outcomes is likely to be low. I need people who know how...

    Turnaround - Rush - Share your best most rediculous horror stories!

    This kind of thing makes me mental. They’re just begging for Murphy to throw a wrench into this. People who do this for events that have hard deadlines are the crazy to me. I have one person who does this semi-regularly and someday it’s the time is going to run out on them and they’re not going...

    Turnaround - Rush - Share your best most rediculous horror stories!

    I have one lady who about 2x's a year sends me a 100 page book on a Thursday afternoon and then wants 5 copies shipped to 10 different addresses (50 total) to arrive by Saturday. This last time when I emailed her about the additional shipping/rush costs tells me she only budgeted an extra $100...

    Image quality - Canon Imagepress V700

    Muted black (and other colors) could also depend on how the artwork is being designed/exported -- Registration Black vs. Black Only (they're different). -- Using Transparent png images on top of solid colors (like black)- this can cause the color underneath it to go muted depending on how the...

    Laminating Digital Prints - What sticks?

    The pro lams let you cold lamination but I have the same problem with them that I do with hot lamination. The laminate peals right off but I admit I haven't experimented with different brands to see if one would work. I grabbed a roll of the DK superstick yesterday (will arrive tomorrow). I'm...

    Laminating Digital Prints - What sticks?

    The lamination probably can't penetrate through the thicker toner layer - solid black would be four layers of toner right? I'll be honest, all my "test prints" are solid black because I figure if I can get it to work with solid black then it'll work on everything else. Maybe I should be...

    Laminating Digital Prints - What sticks?

    This is my second attempt to solve this problem. Previous attempts were with Xerox printers so I thought I'd retry. I've never been able to successfully find a lamination that will stick to digitally printed vinyl sheets that is then cut out (think stickers). They always delaminate unless...

    How Printers Differentiate

    Or comic sans... except I can't get my business partner to stop using comic sans. I think she does it just to bother me.

    Fiery Keeps Disconnecting - Do I really need a fiery?

    Have you tried printing a different pdf file? Every now and then we get a bad pdf file that will crash the fiery every time we try to process it. It's super annoying until you figure out it's a corrupted pdf file.

    Recieved an insane quote for Formax ColorMax8 parts

    4 Months. It's like people don't really understand that we all have orders to actually produce and ship. :-/

    Uchida aerocut X pro

    We had an aerocut for years and never could get consistently sized business cards out of it (each of the three rows was always off bit a bit). Our Duplo is so much more reliable and feeds way better.

    Ijet color 1175

    We felt the same. The quality isn't there but for black and white bulk mailings it was fine. The only real helpful difference is that the envelope printer is faster for long runs. We didn't find the machine to be lower costs because the consumables cost is very high. The costs to replace...

    Microsoft Publisher No Longer Supported After Oct 2026

    Last week. :-( Luckily I still have my screenshots of all the screens you have to go to, to export as a pdf file since I no longer have a publisher program on my computer.

    HP and Canva Announce Partnership

    That's the problem with most software, you get feature bloat over time. Feature growth is great but at some point you have to decide when it's too much and too complex because the house of cards collapses. The program becomes too complicated to use successfully for new users. Figure out what the...
