LMAO! thanks guys!! I needed a good laugh this morning!

I usually just grab a stack of the original stock, measure it, add the caliper x2 for the cover stock, plus 1/32" to allow for corner wrap. It usually works pretty good. Otherwise, If you can't get your hands on the stock, multiply the caliper of the paper x # of sheets then add the caliper x2...

ugh! good luck then!

actually.... I was JUST looking at Heidelberg's new Linoprint at a summit. One of the BIGGEST things that caught my eye was the ability to print 13" x 27.5". but I don't know much about it.

wow... needed a really good smile today.... ;)

Have you thought about looking into XMpie? if it is this large of a project, the time savings would give you an ROI in a very short amount of time.

I would recommend checking out a perfect binding option. that's getting to be pretty thick for a saddle stitch book.

thanks for the input guys!

I think Steve has the right questions. what size shop, and what type of jobs do you run?

My husband was just in south Brazil fairly recently doing some sales calls in packaging plants for Bobst. It sounded like there are some difficult aspects of the print industry down there. Our Xerox techs up here are straight from Xerox, not 3rd party, and they have been great. do you have the...

we have two polar's here and lots of digital, and I don't believe we have seen anything with the toner sticking to the blade. however, we do change out the blade frequently as others have said. Do you have a local Polar service guy to ask about the table rusting? all of our cutters (Polar or...

try putting a sheet of uncoated paper between each book. it might help, then the covers aren't slipping on each other, and might provide just enough "grip". Otherwise, unfortunately, I think you'll have to trim 1/2 at a time.

we also have a 10000 running at one of our storefronts, as far as i know, it's still running like a tank. Poor epson sales reps... must be hard to sell when you have a limited market to begin with, and your product never dies. I suppose if you left them sit for weeks/months at a time between...

You have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now! I have thought that exact thought many many times!

I'm sure most of you are running Epsons for your proofs in prepress, if not, you can still weigh in. Here's my questions: What Epson(s) are you running? How long have you had it (them)? What are your thoughts on age/end of life for certain models? My reason for asking? We bought our 7600 in...

I would highly recommend checking out dreamhost.com for hosting. they have unlimited plans for super cheap, and if you're just doing basic sites (no mySQL, or complex scripts) the shared hosting is perfect. And you can host unlimited domains all under one account. If you are interested message...

it's been a while since I've dealt with quark, but isn't the validation code generated during install after you put in the serial number? I could be remembering wrong, but I thought that the validation code tied the serial number from Quark to that specific computer. But yes, it's an activation...

We recently acquired an i1 isis scanner for profiling, and I am trying to get it set-up. I have everything working on Sync, but I can't seem to find the target and reference files for Verified for the IT8 and P2P25X charts. Does anyone have these that they could share with me for the isis...

we had it confirmed from one of our techs that it was a really bad batch of developer, and we really haven't seen any problems for a few months.

with Onyx and Caldera, do you have any problems with newer files? we currently have a Roland LEJ with their proprietary software, and my operators basically have to flatten almost every job down to a jpg or we get all kinds of weird stuff with the files. (keep in mind this is what they tell me...
