    Hi everyone, I am looking for simple ideas on how to deliver plates to the pressroom other than carrying them by hand. By simple I mean, maybe a cart of some kind? NOT looking for any kind of automation. Thank you, pd

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

    I once had a customer that 4 times a year would have us print a 4-pager (1500 quantity) but they would wait until the last possible minute to release art to us because of all the text changes they loved to make (and then make more after we proofed it!). So, about 11pm on a SATURDAY NIGHT, they...

    Although I cannot speak specifically about the 9880, I do have a couple P9000's. Several months ago, Epson announced they were redesigning their ink cartridges for their SureColor series (I...think...it was because of chip shortages but don't quote me on this) and as such, a firmware update...

    Microsoft Publisher No Longer Supported After Oct 2026

    I will say that when MS introduced version (I think it was 2003), they finally added CMYK and spot color output capabilities which was a home run. In the last year, I bought the latest version of Office and discovered that the CMYK and spot color support was removed from Publisher (if it's...
