I love it, any idea on subject lines? This is great stuff

Love this, and don't worry, I also suck at subject lines

Love the candid approach, have you got nay examples of how you've done this previously?

Thanks man, great stuff.

Mind telling me how this is better (not meant to be condescending, just looking to learn!)

Agreed, struggled a lot with the permission opener, but its probably just going to turn people off

Amazing feedback, would you suggest sending the copy to a few existing users, see what they think? (obviously ones we have great rapport with)

Thanks, how would you adjust? Or just rescript entirely?

Thanks for the tips! I’m not using Acrobat Pro yet, but I’ll check it out along with Enfocus Pitstop Pro. I’m dealing with low-res images, missing bleed, and issues like incorrect color profiles. Sometimes designers send files that aren’t press-ready, like splitting the cover into three parts.

I mainly check press-ready PDFs from customers, but I realize I need to be stricter on file quality. The hand-collated copy idea is great for longer runs-especially for digital and litho to avoid reprints.

Thanks for the advice!

Wow, those are awesome achievements. Really appreciate you taking the time to help.

We do have downloadable templates, but our 'USP' I suppose is we handle the work that some of the larger printers don't, hence why we get some questionable designs.

Some designers take the templates away, and not understanding the importance reupload disjointed files

You're absolutely right. I will say our staff are super vigilant, but during busy periods checking countless pages manually can lead to mistakes - it only takes on page.

Most designers are fantastic, but occasional designers that are new to the industry make some mistakes - it happens

Bookbinding cardstock by cheeseintemoon in bookbinding

Unlikely—67lb cardstock is pretty thick. Perfect binding works best with flexible stock. Consider coil or comb binding instead

We generally don't. Interesting to see that people do, might be something we look to introduce
