I guess somebody pays attention to digital advertising. My brain just tunes it out and I couldn't tell you a single add I have seen digitally. On the other hand I tend to remember direct mail adds, at least for a while. You have to handle them, read them and decide if they are important.

We just use dies on our Heidelberg Cylinder for custom tabs. The machines aren't very expensive and they are pretty fast.

What part of the country are you in?

We had that a couple days ago. The tech came by and rebuild some parts, but didn't have what they needed to rebuild the fuser and returned a second time. We got two fuel surcharges. If fuel prices had gone down to 50 cents a gallon, would we be getting cheaper click rates? I seriously doubt it.

Makes ordering larger quantities of toner more important. If we try to order more than a two week supply of toner, it harps about us ordering too much and wants a written explanation, even though it sees every cartridge put in or out of the machines.

Our Ricoh machines are now charging us $10 fuel surcharges for ever service visit and every toner order. They came to rebuild parts and even charged $10 for that. I thought the point of a contract was to have reliable expenses.

The customer is always right. Have you talked to Ricoh and told them what you are wanting? The machines are supposed to cater to the buyer instead of us working around their schedule.

When our Linotronic was installed back in 1989 the installer recommended Euclidean dot and we kept using it until we bought a platesetter in 2017.

We are a tiny little print shop, but our largest clients are very large billion dollar corporations and we get a sliver of their work. What I have seen over the past decades in our little area is the move from everything being pantone, to exactly what Dov said. The ad agencies for these...

I would think that getting removed from Adobe software is going to cause Pantone to become much less relevant. I can't believe they aren't doing whatever they could to get Adobe to keep including them. Apparently graphic arts color is just a small part of their business, but I would still think...

We buy from Randolph.

Back when we first got into digital printing, we started with a bustled fiery and then upgraded to the stand alone version with the same machine. It was a Xerox 560 if memory serves. I am pretty certain they could do it, but don't want to do it.

I would say it is to cover spoilage, storing the paper and moving it around, but also because that is what my father and grandfather did and I just kept doing it.

We run it on the Ricoh C72xx machines.

We would charge $171.26. We would charge $68 for the paper, which is a 50% markup. $71 for the digital press, which is a color machine, we don't have any B&W machines. If it was a higher quantity, we would run it offset. We pay .0085 cents per 11x17 B&W click, but charge based on hourly cost of...

Wonder if that will have any noticeable affect on supplies here in the USA.

The client was very happy but it ended up turning into a much larger job that is done twice a month. We ended up buying a KR tabber and using it to apply scratch off stickers. Very quick without drying time and no need for expert ink formulating.

We run 18 and 24pt C1S. The 24pt is finicky and only run occasionally, but we run the 18pt regularly without any issues even when DUPLEXING. Just make sure it is short grain.

I thought these companies always warned against using 3rd party supplies.

We have contemplated buying an inkjet envelope printer, but so many envelopes we run are spot colors that are hard to match in process. We have a two color offset press that is always setup for #9 and #10 envelopes. Anything full color we order out if running digitally doesn't make sense. We...
