Apparently they switched to Calibri because it's a sans serif font, so the DEI claim is that it was to enhance readability for people with disabilities. I'm more of a wingdings guy myself.

We do the wrap around covers with perf NCR. We just order parent sheets for the covers. Bindery hates doing them though.

Our old Imagepress C750 does this too. I think it's because it's a light production machine. It constantly stops for "adjusting". The higher end models have better fusing units and they maintain their temperatures better.

Most RIP workflows are PDF driven, so an exported PDF is ideal since you can just drag and drop into a hotfolder. Using a print driver tends to introduce variables, like accidentally leaving a box checked from a previous print, or accidentally changing color settings.

You'd probably be fine using 3-in-1 oil. 3-IN-ONE Multi-Purpose Oil

If it really is your machine, flip the image 180. If it's the machine causing it, the black dots should be on the other side of the text. If they don't move, it would indicate it's in the file and not a print defect.

You samples are horrendous. The first thing I'd say is your line screens don't seem to be set up correctly, but beyond that, your prints are washed out and you have a ton of banding. I wouldn't consider any of those prints sellable where I work. I've demoed a V1350, and the prints were sharp...

I'm guessing it's these from AliExpress.

Contact your sales person and have them escalate the issue to a more experienced tech. Your tech can't just throw in the towel if your machine isn't working.

Yes, it can do 6 slits and 25 cuts in a pass. Just keep in mind you're gonna fight printer shrink/stretch on those layouts, and the tail end of your sheet will need some fine tuning for accurate cuts. I still prefer to run BCs on 9x12 or 8.5x11 to keep the cutting more precise.

I think inkjet will fully replace toner once the costs come down. Canon's newest inkjet offering looks better than toner and I can hardly tell the difference between it and offset. They still need to bring the costs down by about 200k, but it used to be more like a 700k gap, so I think in 5-10...

I wouldn't call them creative, but hang tags, table tents, foldover business cards, wraparound covers, channel scores for perfect binds. There's a few of the less common applications.

This is your $500 USB hub for $7.99. It's discontinued, so this was the only website I could find with it in stock.

Fair point. The issue I have is there's no one capable of troubleshooting it if it's all being written by AI. I was speaking more outside of print, but it's gonna be an issue in all industries. It's like that movie "Multiplicty" where he keeps cloning himself until one of the clones is a moron...

I'm not seeing anything here that can't just be done manually with minimal effort. I just read this article this morning and I think the less you use AI the better. I think the only useful AI application is generating images/video and upscaling. Everything else is generally just making garbage...

We have our C10000vp until next year and I think we will likely purchase a V1350. I also want to look at Ricoh, but I don't think Ricoh service is very good in our area. We inherited the Iridesse when we purchased another print shop. It's a great printer, it just has a lot of extremely low...

We have the DBM-150 and it's great, but books don't lay very flat, I would not want to be face trimming them on a guillotine afterward. I've never run the Plockmatic, but to me the square back and face trim would be an instant sell if the prices are comparable.

The 8000/10000 are EOL at the end of 2026. I wouldn't buy one at this time. I think it's a great machine, but you'd be kinda dead in the water come next year when they stop supporting it. We've been running a 10000 basically since it was new. It has some quirks I've complained about, but now...

The way I'd do it is create a hotfolder, then in Acrobat use the "split document" function, have it split in the # of pages you want and then export the files into your hotfolder so they rip in order.
