    Is there a way to fake a bleed?

    New Orleans restaurants. Could very well be a pricy sheet. Or, they are trying to salvage it to save their ass. Possibly both.

    Is there a way to fake a bleed?

    Since it is a Ricoh, you may have a chance, but not without help from your tech. I run 9100s and I do edge to edge (almost) printing often. I can usually hit 3 sides, with a tiny bit of white (1 or 2 points) on the fourth side which I shave on the cutter. You have to ask the tech to set the...

    Career Day

    AI has been priceless in updating my 10 year old scripts to current PHP 8.X standards. It does in a few minutes what would take me hours to check line by line and correct. It also addresses security flaws in the process.

    From what I've seen, the more it learns, the more it has room to wander.

    Career Day

    AI helps me code 20X faster (partly because I can't type fast and accurate anymore after a stroke), but it would be lost without me. It will build in bugs that require human intervention to resolve, because once it is set on something, it's very difficult to break it away from it. This is...

    4over Issues

    I really don't like glossy UV, unless you are doing a picture postcard. It creates glare, which makes reading some print difficult, depending on lighting. It was cool way back when, but UV is the thermography of today. It's a way to turn product faster and cover blemishes like fuser lines on...

    4over Issues

    Can't get around the mechanics and basics. I'm a buyer of offset. Digital in-house.I don’t like the push-button trend, but it's getting more difficult to avoid for all but the boutique jobs. I don't deal with shoppers. No loyalty. No relationship. Will jump ship for a few dollars.

    4over Issues

    I think you over-rate many commercial shops these days. Hang and bang is everywhere. Shops are relying on technology to speed production and reduce human touch.

    4over Issues

    Gang-run used to mean something back in the day of analog printing. It doesn't carry much weight anymore in the digital world. Everything is digitally controlled and calibrated from file to press. Even the inks are monitored and controlled digitally. Do digital controls go haywire? Sure, but it...

    4over Issues

    Have not used them much lately, except for signage. Was considering them for some EDDM work coming up. What facility was the product coming from? Alternatives? Getting thin. City Colors (Trade Only, DI offset), SinaLite (Trade Only, Canada HQ, but 4 US facilities), Printograph (trade division...

    What printing platform works best with google SEO

    Of course. That reference was a simple response to outline a method. When I refer to a landing page, that includes product specific pages in addition to the main page. Thank you for clarifying that for the benefit of all who are not familiar with the term or purpose.

    FORMAX Colormax9 envelope printer and the HP FI-1000 print engine

    While not specifically the ColorMax 9, anyone who has migrated from any of the Astro/MemJet based machines to the HP-1000 based machines from iJetColor or Postmark (Martin-Yale) should be able to speak on the difference in production cost, assuming they have produced repeat jobs on both...

    What printing platform works best with google SEO

    I prefer to have a well designed landing page (self-hosted) with all my important information and SEO elements in place. Backlink to that page. Include a blog area to keep things current. Then link to your W2P portal from there. Don't ignore customizing the portal in as many areas that are...

    Decide your angle. Rip a piece of wood on a compound miter saw to your angle. Put something heavy on it and some business card magnets on the bottom to resist lifting up and moving around.
