Is there any easy to use (simple) program for making photocalendars? I'm looking for something that I can put on my website (digital printing company) with only a few options for the clients to pick from.

Is anything exciting being released in 2012? Digital, large format or offset, that will bring something new to the table. We're looking into a few new investments in terms of equipment, but maybe we're missing something that's soon to come out :)

After reading all the posts I could find on the board and trying out some demos, I still haven't found a program that would be an "all in one" solution for a printing company such as mine. We offer digital and large format printing + graphic design in house. Offset printing is outsourced to 2-3...

I'm considering setting up a digital print shop in a shopping mall (large format and offset would be transported there from our place). Do you think it's worth getting into? Any tips for other business ideas that could go well with this project? (stamps, coffee etc.) There are no places like...

I'm still trying to figure out a workflow solution that would benefit our company. We run offset, digital and large format units. My question is, if the workflow we get into doesn't quite do it for us, can we resell it after a few months or so? The thing is that I'm worried a demo won't really...

just relaxing after another crazy day and I thought I'd ask around to see what the new trends will be in late 2010/early 2011. Any new units that will change production in some way? I need something interesting to read about :)

How can I make it easier for my designers when it comes to designing artwork for wrapping cars? We're only starting to get into this part of the business and I'm looking into software and vector images that could help us with this. The only ones we did so far were simple vinyls (mainly for...

I've remember talking to a Xerox rep about this, but i didn't quite get the whole idea. I went on to buy another unit, but somehow i stumbled into this on the net again and I was wondering if any of you have used it? what's it about? is it worth looking into?

I'm looking for a service manual for my guillotine. It's an "Adast Maxima MS 80-2" Can anyone tell me where I can download something like this? or maybe someone here has got one? I tried searching but didn't come up with any results.

I'm experimenting with the registration on SRA3 size paper using the bypass feeder. My printer is a Toshiba 5520C and it's been ok for the jobs I've been giving it. However the front to back registration is pretty bad even on lighter stock. Have you guys had better front to back registration...

I'm considering getting this unit for our offset department. Is it any good for the price range? I know it's more of an entry model piece of equipment, but from looking at the specs, it would be enough for the jobs we do.

I had some problems with coating SRA3 sheets from a digital press. The areas where there was more ink were ok, but the rest "soaked in". Do you guys have techniques of getting the whole area evenly done? It was on Xerox Colotech paper. Could the paper be an issue or maybe it's a matter of using...

Hi, I found some pretty cool ideas for marketing on this forum, including a post from LongGoose: http://printplanet.com/forums/vdp-hardware-software-systems/17402-vdp-marketing-ideas "One of the best ideas I've heard of is a business sending out postcards - on the back of which was a map giving...

earlier today I picked up a canvas print I had done for one of my clients in a local large format printing shop (solvent). The colors turned out nice, but the large areas of black are much too light. It looks like around 70-80%. I'm guessing the material absorbes a lot of the ink because they...

I'm thinking of getting a used DUPLO Docucutter DC-545. Is it worth considering or are there better units in its price range?

I'm looking for something really basic (and free if possible), that could help me with simple imposition tasks. For example a stand-alone program that I could just throw in some business cards in a pdf format and print them out quickly. I'm asking about this because I don't want to bother my...

Hi, I have quite a lot of orders (mainly invitations and stuff like that) where I could really use a machine that folds sheets, slides them into envelopes and packs them. The optimal thing would be to have a color machine that can print out different sizes and print on envelopes so it would be...

I was wondering what software or internet solutions you just couldn't imagine not having in your company now? I'm asking because we're thinking of ways to improve our workflow and customer management, and maybe there is something we haven't thought of yet.

could anyone please give me an estimate of the price? the price for a Konica Minolta C6501 would be great too.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here knows more or less what it would take to get the Okidata printer working on thicker stock. I know it won't be an Ilumina (that was just for the thread title ;)), but I was wondering how I could play with the machine to tune it up a bit. It's a used machine...
