    Hotfoil issue

    You need to "makeready" the areas not imaging/foiling. Assuming your are using a phenolic board place some thin packing (plate tissue or packing about .002") under the phenolic in the necessary area(s). Add more as needed.

    Numbering a print job

    I had several csv files for cut & stack layouts but it you can omit data merge pretty often. Create a multiple page (100, 500, whatever is the final qty) doc. Use auto page number character on the parent page, define the start number from the page panel. Impose at the RIP/CWS.

    Do I have to laminate both sides for folds

    IMHO lamination kills any ability to fold up nicely. A project like this will require a cutting die which will include any necessary crease rules. A flood varnish or UV coat will enhance and protect the piece.

    How to Embossing on an Offset Press

    Actually the cylinder layout improves tonnage. Think of surface area. Only one axis is in contact pressure as opposed to the entire square image area of platen.

    AB Dick 9910XCS & T-51 Issue

    As I recall the T-51 sits on a bracket with three bolts. Those should be loosened than adjust the side turnbuckles for overall pressure and side to side stripe. Snug the lower bolts and recheck.

    Heidelberg SBBK Cylinder question

    I use old film under any cutting rule that is not getting through; it has less chance to fail before the end of a run. The best way would be to spot make ready under the jacket but rolling the jacket off and on is a chore and more guesswork than one platen. I suppose to do it correctly you would...
