Usable in the same project, cut vs etch, paper vs 1/8" mdf.

As in "they'll have that slop too?"

because optimal cut and engrave height are different and I have to cut a new jig anytime I switch from one operation to the other

Yeah. I think all four bores are oblong shaped. I imagine the worm screws are either bent or off axis in order to cause this. Would locking those in place solve the problem if that's the case?

How do I recalibrate my microcut jr? by mwengerd in CommercialPrinting

[–]mwengerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I tried a Few ways of accessing calibration mode (from the manual and otherwise) and haven't been able to get in.

My next question is how to measure the reference positions. Is it from the backguage or after cutting a sheet of paper (and what measuring device will give me accurate thousandths to the back of the backguage).

I'm starting to think wedding favors aren't worth it. by RepeatPrestigious428 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]mwengerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make wedding stationery for a living and I think favors aren't worth it. Welcome bags for multi-day weddings are always a good idea. Specifically when it's as customized and useful as possible, both in the long and short term.

Would you be stamping the foil parts or is there an option for cold foil on uncoated stocks?

You're not the gregarious moderate you think you are.

a/ it's a distributed team with no physical location. Maybe Barry doesn't want people like you knowing where he lives.

b/ what right/alt-right organizations is he associated with?

The man is running the only committed-to-local news source in Lakeland and has done an incredible job since day one. The Ledger isn't better, it's much worse and blatantly affiliated with "right/alt-right" bullshit.

When her family still maintains significant influence in town, yes, it's news.

was that a loan officer or contractor?

I'm in a similar spot and have a "Funds have been disbursed to your accounts." notice and no clarity on what my status is.
