    Perfect binder for digital printed satin stock

    Story was that KM toner was better than competitors with release oil 'microencapsulated' in the toner and that was true to a point with book papers and appropriate cover stock. EVA (hotmelt) will always struggle with coated stock both text but particularly cover, cross grain direction &c...

    Perfect bound book bodies have a wave/wrinkle after being bound

    Can't really tell from one picture. One location? flyleaf only? Is there is any consistency to the location and extent into the book? Had a serious jam on the machine? Most likely cause is the spine is moving sometimes in the milling or nipping station and one possibility is the clamp may not...

    Xerox IGen 3 Perfect Binding Problem

    Binding - release oil difficulties Binding - release oil difficulties Sorry the problem is endemic. Irrespective of the binder (and the Horizon BQ270's good at this) hot melt glue and the release oils used in Xerox printers (and most other printers) will cause difficulties in binding. The...

    Wire O Binding with replaceable pages

    When the world was flat and software manuals were printed there were 'combs' which could be used to 'prise' a new sheet into twin wire binding. Not really a practical solution for many customers. Reinforced (Mylar), self adhesive strips are certainly available for conventional file hole...

    Automatic re-sample and reinsert images in incoming pdf to avoid moire on output

    Greg My understanding is limited soon it will be more appropriate to put others on line but after a quick look at PreMedia web site and there are aspects to explore. The whole file is a 1-bit TIFF - a mono newspaper page for international digital reproduction at a reduced size. The clash of...

    Perfed Cover Stock Stuck Together

    Flattening the perforations to remove/minimise this problem is part of the process for which your supplier should be taking responsibility, irrespective of how the perforations were produced.

    Automatic re-sample and reinsert images in incoming pdf to avoid moire on output

    Any ideas on this anyone? Digital printing of a (mono) pdf file produces moire in coarse screened images on output resulting from 'too similar rulings'. Is there a tool/workflow which can pre-flight files to identify images and automatically re-sample and re-insert in the same size and...

    UV Varnish adhesion over Konica Minolta digital prints

    KM toner varnish adhesion KM toner varnish adhesion Could be the 'microencapsulation' toner which KM use. In effect the release/fuser oil is in the toner making the image areas repel the varnish. If the varnish releases from dense image areas more quickly than light image areas and not from...

    Auto register adjustment using CCD cameras

    Question about yearbook printing

    It's a buy don't make decision. Particularly if you use a lab now particularly. Even at 30,000 a year of a multi-page book it would not be realistic to set up true quality controlled, colour managed service which prints and binds hard back photo books. High quality binding would be a serious...

    Laminating digital print following corona treatment

    Some time ago preliminary tests suggested that corona discharge of digital printed sheets (Xerox) improved 'wetting' properties and reduced the effect of fuser oil. However it was not enough to overcome problems associated with wetting for hot melt adhesive for binding purposes. This was...

    Using PUR

    Chris Sorry but. You can't use PUR as a simple swap all sorts of things have to change from milling to glue application and fume extraction. Above all else the PUR will set in your machine and wreck the glue tank and mechanism. Take the coated stock work to a regular binder with the correct...

    One last question about Indigo

    A 5x5 template is in use daily on Indigo print for business cards (on 380gsm) and the 20% economic advantages are obvious. Precision trimming of the board is the more critical issue. Rollem slitting is also used on tighter register products from Indigo prints even given sheet by sheet...
