[PrintOwners] Recommendation for B&W Copier needed

Wed Sep 3 18:56:16 EDT 2008

When we do a booklet with bleeds, we do the head and foot trims on 
the flat sheets, and the face trim on the bookletmaker. Of course, 
we're producing flat sheets on our digital printer, and using an off-
line Duplo collater-bookletmaker setup. This way, we can still print 
5.5x8.5 booklets 2-up, with the attendant advantage in click charges.

YMMV,
Steve
