We've got some equipment and we'd like to put some corporate logo stickers onto them to make them easily identifiable as being our property. Probably 2x2cm in size, and probably on some kind of hard-wearing transparent substrate. I immediately thought I'll just contract it out to a sticker...

I have a task where I need to split some large pdf's into separate files. Think 500 page document split into 300 files. I am splitting them based on bookmarks, but this is taking absolutely ages to process in acrobat pro on a beast of a PC, and I suspect it is due to document overhead and the...

According to EFI our Ricoh C5310 does not support A5 tab printing. Ricoh demoed us A5 tab printing on the C5210, C5310, C7200, C9210 and we do it regularly now on our C5310 and it works well. Were printing from Totalflow Prep into Command Workstation. I would like to also use A5 tabs in Fiery...

The drive belt on our GBC EP28 Pro comb punch has gone and Acco/GBC are saying the machine is discontinued and no parts are available. It's just a rubber belt and looks like a fairly generic component, I'd be surprised if it's a proprietary component specific only to that machine. Many of you...

We tend to use big rolls of bubble wrap for filling voids in boxes and wrapping more delicate stuff for shipping. I have been thinking about getting a small low volume air cushion inflater machine to use instead of bubble wrap but then I also saw there are now paper air cushions available as...

So I have a Ricoh c5310, with the SR5120 booklet finisher. I do not have a folding unit. The booklet finisher will of course do some folding. However, I would really like to get it to fold unbound simplex A4 sheets lengthways. That does not appear to be a supported size/dimension for the...

I've encountered a situation where a hand signed document needs an overprint but feeding it through a laser printer is erasing the signature. I believe this is because the signature was made using erasable/washable ink and the heat from the fusing process is just evaporating it. Only solution...

This has happened twice now, first attempt at booklet 62 of 300 and the second on booklet 63. It fails to start the next copy, the blue status light flashes, lots of fans etc are staying active but nothing is happening. I have to restart the fiery and send the job from scratch. Any ideas?

I will be printing some A4 booklets (centre stapled, printed onto SRA3 with 3 side offline trim). However I'm not entirely sure what I should specify for bleeds. Am I right in thinking that the binding edge does not require bleed as it will not be trimmed? Should I then ask for a three sided...

I saw a Peleman Flat Bed Foil Printer in a store and the owner gave me a quick demo. I am thinking about getting one, primary use is for gold foil cover text on hard bound documents. Think bound thesis but in textured hard bound fabric covers. Previously I was looking at getting a gold foil...

Folks I have a powis parker fastback 20 which has a two compartment cooling rack for the books coming out of it. When we have a big run to bind this is less than ideal. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a larger capacity cooling rack separate to the machine, where the books lie...

I'm trying to do some quick and dirty image cropping in Acrobat Pro 2020. When I crop one side of an image using the little grab handle in the middle of a side of the image, it is then also cropping the perpendicular side of the image which I do not want it to do. If I wanted that I'd crop...

We receive a lot of documents to print which cause errors in Fiery and Total Flow Prep and they refuse to print. Nearly always, reprinting the PDFs using Microsoft Print to PDF gives us a document which we are able to print. So I'm wondering what is happening here and whether/how I can build a...

Can anyone explain to me how I can add a binding margin to a document using preflight in Acrobat Pro? At present I get my make ready software to do this but I wanted to see if I could already do it in Acrobat Pro. Current workflow is: - Multiple documents of various sizes combined into single...

Folks, I'm trying to switch to using PDF/JDF out of Total Flow Prep instead of using Postscript. Going well except a couple of issues with tabs: - With A4 tabs if I select "Apply settings to PDF and remove from job ticket" the tab then prints totally blank - not just the tab ear but the body...

So my printer has been warning about low staples for a while so I thought I'd proactively sort it before I'm on leave. I ordered a replacement staple holder and staples, but I also ordered a box full of just the staples to refill the empty holder to use next time. Problem is, I can't for the...

Folks, I'm looking for a machine (as compact as possible) to punch cover stock for wire binding. So, I need: - 2:1 and 3:1 punching (rectangular) - A4 and A5 support (incl. ability to suspend pins not used on A5) - Adjustability to make the punches line up with inner sheets which are punched...

I'd be grateful for any recommendations on use of preflight to help with this scenario: Most of our work is legal reprographics. Printing binders with tabs full of documents from external lawyers. Often CWS will stop printing halfway through a job because it found an error in the document...

So I've noticed especially when handling coated printed sheets that if I'm not very careful I am leaving fingerprints on them which end up looking like greasy smears. This may sound a very daft question but I'm wondering how best to avoid this. Do any of you wear gloves, or wash/wipe your...

Folks I'm trying to print onto Mondo Colour Copy coated glossy 135gm via the bypass tray. Bypass does not support duplex printing so I'm doing it manually. First side prints fine, but second side is jamming as it gets exactly halfway through the fuser. Any suggestions? I'm using the paper...
