    Printer in Toronto

    5.5 x 8.5 inches would likely be reasonably close. It's 1/2 our standard letter size of 8.5 x 11 inches. A little narrower than your 148mm. But things can be trimmed to size. There's loads of printers in Toronto. What you have sounds like basically a copy job, assuming it would be small...

    Year End Review

    This story is under a paywall. Hopefully this link will work for those interested. It's timely. Published after my initial post. https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theglobeandmail.com%2Fbusiness%2Farticle-grocery-execs-see-big-bonuses-after-bonanza-of-pandemic-sales%2F

    Year End Review

    Once this is over, remember those who screwed you. Major grocery conglomerates in particular.

    Black's a Problem

    Yeah, you get that. Those that send files to Vista Print get a rude awakening. But in all. It's a good thing for people buying print. Just be cautious. I'm glad I'm out of it.

    Black's a Problem

    I believe there were about 6 blacks in the Pantone colour guide, so who can blame them :) I continually get files from a customer with various versions of what's supposed to be the same purple. Some CMYK, some RGB. I gave up. I just correct it & move on. Now that I'm retired, her online source...

    Black's a Problem

    Heh; I recall it taking a couple weeks just to get colour separation film. Those asking for a 'black only' deal are dating themselves. Sadly; so am I :(

    Black's a Problem

    True enough. For slightly different reasons. When I was still working I'd get the occasional; 'What would the cost difference be if I just want black print'. The same. (sometimes I'd throw them a couple bucks difference). So much print is tossed onto gang runs that it matters little what colours...

    Happened across this. Seems a decent deal: https://www.microcenter.com/product/635448/powerspec-g509-gaming-pc

    Has Covid killed the business card?

    1 sheet if you use a paid toilet in Budapest that has an attendant rationing out the paper.

    Printograph Experience

    I have no experience with Printograph. I've used 4Over in the past and primarily use Sina. 'Pleasing colour' is the pleasing catch phrase. However I believe both these companies (Sina for sure) updated calibration 3 or 4 years ago for their offset machines. Since that time I've had very little...

    Free-Dumb

    Reminds me of the days when people would come in with store bought cards to be imprinted around Christmas time. Cards had to be unfolded, had glitter all over them . . . Or other supplied stock that looked like it had been stored in a moldy basement for 10 years. They'd be offended when they...

    TRY TO PREFLIGHT THIS !!

    I see this sort of thing in PDF files from time to time. I've just considered it to be leftover objects from some past alteration in design from the customer (these are customer PDF's, not mine). I've never given too much thought to how they would have accomplished this. That would give me a...

    Z-Fold

    1) laminate 2) score (crease) 3) fold Because of the laminate it may not fold well without scoring. But give it a try.

    No worries. I'll start a 'Go Fund Me' page to pay any ransom. I'm sure I can count on your support.

    Windows 11

    Thanks PD. I expect the guy putting the machine together will make certain not to install that stuff but I expect to make further adjustments. I'll eventually get things to how I like. I've used shell tweakers with each version of Windows. Small tweaks but endlessly useful for ones sanity. The...

    Windows 11

    Every single piece of software they've ever put out is full of fluff & 'helpers', 'assistants', 'wizards'. Call them what you will. Useless crap that tries to tell you how to go about operating your own computer and what is best for your 'computing experience' (according to them).

    Windows 11

    If you have that URL handy I'd appreciate it. I've instructed them not to install any of the Microsoft fluff & helpers when installing the operating system but I expect to get rid of more. This sort of thing is the exact reason why I procrastinate over new systems. You spend a month getting rid...
