    advice on small die-cutter

    Stickman42, We use a little digital on-demand foil machine for short runs of very specialized foil jobs.

    advice on small die-cutter

    Print shop dye jobs

    We do commercial printing, but our main line is photo printing. I am in the biggest buying group in that industry and we have found that the average of an owner in the group is 59 years old.

    advice on small die-cutter

    My search through the forum didn't show me exactly what I was looking for, so let me put my first post out there: We print greeting cards on a Xerox Versant and are very happy with our Duplo 645. We have expanded sales of die-cut cards and are increasing our volume each month. We now use a...
