Hi I am having serious trouble with card that I am getting from my supplier which does not have right angle edges. Only when I start cutting down things like business cards do I realise how out the card really is. I understand that some printers 'square down' their media when they receive...

Thanks Matt I really appreciate your files, even last time you went out of your way to provide this sort of help. I will have a go from these I will also take a look at the imposition options offers by the other members as a longer term solution - will check them out and report back!

Hi We have a SRA3 digital machine and are on a pay per click contract. So getting the most out of each sheet is really important for us. I had to print 1000 A6's on an SRA3 and needed to step up 8 A6'S on an SRA3. The imposition software on our rip was only giving 4 up - as with bleeds etc it...

Hi Part of my problem was that the cutter was not cutting to the measurement it was showing on screen!!! So I was working by eye which was naturally the wrong way to cut something like business cards. Now the cutter is fixed, I am going to run off a sheet of 10 up and see how I get on! Thanks

aaaahh... when I was pushing the pile of paper back on the cutter, the laser was giving me a non straight line!! I guess this explains the non-squareness of the paper? I still dont get the best process of cutting 18 up (85,, x 55mm) business cards - if not to inconvenient would someone be kind...

Hi Thanks for the reply, that solves the clamping mark problem.. I wasnt sure if it was my cutter.. As for the cutting, yes all artworks have crop marks and are impositioned on the sheet correctly... but sorry for being dim... What do you mean by keeping the job square? I have no preset...
