Underscores the hypocrisy of it all.

Having the spine facing the direction of which way the blade comes down will help eliminate nicks. In other words, if the blade travels down from the left, have the spines on the left. With half the books facing one way & half facing the other you can generally do more books at a time but those...

I always ignored what was filled in at the 'education level' part of the application. Speak with someone for 5 minutes and it usually becomes clear whether or not they belong on the planet with us. That approach to hiring generally served me well. College/university degrees are way overrated —...

We did the same. That is, once the owner decided colour keys were a worthwhile investment. When we first started taking on 4 colour work he thought he could save a few bucks by skipping the colour key. I think they were about $35.00, or maybe $50.00. After a few reruns he came around. One job I...

This shortage of reading material is creating a constipation problem.

'Normal' is basic boring. 'Sport' is peppier/more responsive, but will use slightly more gas. 'Smart' permits the cars' computer to automatically switch between Normal & Sport. The smart LED will change colour depending on the mode it switches between (but you'll know by feel). Lately I've been...

Balls the same colour is easy! See my previous (failure) post. Doing the illusion = not so easy, as Alan (above) will likely testify. I had to think!

Child's play :) 4 Photoshop layers.

I'm afraid I'm a failure. This was 3 Photoshop layers.

No maybe about it—there is an error. More than an error. I didn't keep it. I just made 2 layers and applied the Multiply effect to the top one. Tried a few other things . . . nothing came close to an illusion. Have you done it?

Could it be there's more socery at play here? I can't recreate the effect.

Maybe if you uploaded it as a .psd with layers intact ;)

This has been ongoing since the days of 'camera ready' when customers would bring in a piece of garbage and expect the finished piece would turn out like a piece of art by some magic means.

I let it be known to a sometime supplier that I would be retiring soon. That was probably 4-5 years ago. He offered to either give me some money for my accounts, or pay a commission on orders received. Much like a sales commission. I had a reasonable number of clients at that time but we didn't...

200 employees doesn't make it a worthwhile publication.

During my days as a press operator I screwed up a job. I know; hard to believe. My boss/company owner gifted me with a hard cover book, gold lettering, titled: The How To Book On Printing, by . . . It contained about 75 blank pages. It's still displayed in my office. People come in and are...

Years ago I was the operator on a single colour GTO. Had a customer from an ad agency. It was requested that I work with her to colour match ink for some pretty fancy stationery (many items). For just over 3 hours she had me pissing about. She'd take each new colour pull outdoors to view in...

Beat me to it. I was just going to suggest that. Kind of cheesy but if someone only wants a few folders it will work. Folder Pockets - Blanks/USA

Pleasure. Let me know if it works.
