Company policy. I love when that term is bandied about. Like it's some law that's been carved in concrete and is absolutely not negotiable. An underpaid lackey looks down their nose . . ."but it's our policy." End of discussion. I take immeasurable pleasure in pointing out that whatever this...

My experience with government contracts - both levels of government - is don't expect a windfall. Those that make money are those that wine & dine or otherwise pander to the purchasing agent and therefore land the nicer orders. It happens. Not much different than dealing with a large...

I once had a customer who designed a tri-fold brochure 2 sides in Excel. All considered he did a pretty good job of it too. Probably took him days. Brochures in Word are pretty common. The folds/panels are never remotely near correct. I understand getting panels right can be a problem in Word (I...

Heidelberg Platen.

Anchor rubber band. You could try this place: http://www.sircorubberbands.com/

Can you not just place the pdf into InDesign, add marks there and make a new pdf?

Ynot_UK brings up a valid point here. You'd have to be the luckiest guy in the world to have both sides of the saddle stitched sheet(s) work as tabs. Therefore the option is a flat form of binding. Saddle bind is off the table. Congratulations on having a customer that has loads of money and...

I faced a similar issue with a customer who had been using tabs since before I took over the printing. He wanted to cut costs so I suggested rather than the tabs, print a border down the face edge of each page front & back. The colour of the border is different for each section and it's easy to...

I'm not so sure I've ever seen science & common sense contradict one another. Course it depends who's common sense it is. In other words, common sense could be variable. My common sense = good & accurate. The rest of humanity's common sense = maybe not so good. In response to pastry thighs...

Gord is just stirring up controversy (again). Couldn't hold out 'till his usual Sunday post. heh,heh.

Sorry, I don't get it. MSM to me is a medical abbreviation for an anti-inflammatory. If you saw it spelled out you'd understand why it's abbreviated. In any case, common sense dictates that a barrier of any sort is better protection than no barrier.

Just like anything else; spend enough time on the internet and you'll find support for whatever it is you want to find support for.

Yes they are! Just thought you were trying to save money.

If it's that infrequent and such low volume you could make up a little jig for jobs as they occur to square & hold the card in place then use a ruler as a straight edge and the back of a knife, or some such similar to make the score. Alternatively, set the back fence of your cutter (guillotine)...

I've been printing loads of labels for a medical supply company. As a matter of fact I just now got back from delivering 20,000 alcohol wipes labels.

Holy s**t, that's awesome!! At first I thought they were running for their lives. Hmm, they probably were.

Seems about right. Looks like another shutdown looming.

Depends which way you're facing. Too bad about the pandemic. Vancouver's celebration was/is always the best. Pretty certain I have 3 or 4 Indian style marinades in the cupboard. COVID means I don't have to share ;)

I'm sure these exist. I've never seen one in over 40 years. I get quotes sometime from one printer that adds about 3 pages of crap to the quote. I've never read it. I suppose they could have terms in there somewhere.
