I went ahead & placed my order. I buy from a privately owned shop that's been servicing computer users for a long time. I get that it should be new & wonderful and it might be to most. I hate having to reload everything, transfer files and the endless tweaking to get things how I like. Thanks to...

Thanks but I wasn't asking about Windows 10, I was asking about 11. As for me still using 7. It's always worked well for me and if it ain't busted . . . Plus it takes forever to get things (the way the computer operates) back to the way I like things to be. I got off the hamster wheels of...

I just happened across this when looking at today's news. It's somewhat distressing to me because I was literally minutes away from placing an order for a new custom computer which will take me from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I held off as long as I could. My logical thinking tells me I will...

You may need to add some information. Are you mixing inks? What colour? Are you having trouble running an ink from the can to it's accurate colour? Do you have a colour sample (target) to aim for? What does it look like (what visual problems are you encountering?). Running an ink to the colour...

I had an Adast 2 colour perfector in my living room. Had to get rid of it when the neighbours started complaining about all the foul language.

Typical causes in addition to Ynot's suggestion is; dull blade, not enough clamp pressure, too much clamp pressure, uneven clamp pressure. Also a soft (spongy) stock such as an uncoated textured text or cover. These papers should be trimmed in smaller lifts.

Sounds like you're on the right path. I'd add several more cliches though. Be interesting to see an update in a couple years.

Reminds me of a letterhead job we used to print. Paper was ordered trimmed from the wholesaler to 11" x 17", presumably to save time. We ran the letterhead 2 on a sheet. It was always a 50,000 run (100,000 finished). The letterhead was on expensive paper and after printing it had to be foiled...

I'd say their reputation pretty much turned to rubbish after the emissions fiasco.

But the company will provide you with loads of incentive!

Unfortunately it's often the only way to get paid more money. It's a huge failing of many industries (in my opinion). If a person isn't 'promoted' or is but doesn't accept a promotion the mindset is that that person is somehow a failure. As a result people are often 'promoted' to a job they...

Assuming you printed 11 x 17 long grain the grain direction for the final fold to 5.5 x 8.5 would be to your favour. Had you been aware before hand you could have scored each sheet prior to booklet making - down the length of 17". Same idea as you would when cross folding 11 x 17 to fit an...

Use the trial for a month - it's free! I use it 'quite' a bit (see what I did there :) to resize pages. Like when people send business cards on a pdf page the size of a football field (almost). Maybe others will have suggestions that aren't so pricey.

Quite Imposing. It's relative to what you consider 'inexpensive'. There might be a trial, so you can try first.

Pretty much method 2. Gap the rollers for the thickness that will travel through them. It takes awhile to get just right.

Oh. I had thought the OP had the original InDesign files, given by the original designer. Sorry. Personally I prefer to make my own PDF's for press. I get clients who send a low quality PDF's or a single page PDF that can be a huge number of Mb's. Or PDF's with printers marks. I guess they think...

Maybe I'm missing something. If you have InDesign and the original file, and I believe you said you do, make any changes there, throw out the existing PDF and make a new one. Seems pretty straight forward. Nothing else makes sense. You may have to tell your coworker to bug out. If your workload...

Not quite there yet, but it's coming. Side note; I've looked at the Vista Print site a couple times, just out of curiosity. I wouldn't know how to order anything from them. I have over 40 years in this business and they use terminology that's completely foreign to me. Paper described as...

I've seen people with 20 years experience . . . Year 1 repeated, 20 times over.

The industry (many industries) is rife with those willing to take advantage of the knowledge people have accumulated through the years while providing as little as possible compensation. Probably one of the most refreshing things I ever heard was from someone in charge of pre-press at a major...
