Q&A Comic Production Flaws
PRINTMASTER-migration replied to DiceX's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
HEYS GUYS, I WORKED IN PRINTING FOR 16 YEARS AND WORKED WITH COMICS ALSO. THE BLADE IS NOT DULL, A CUTTER BLADE GOES RIGHT TO LEFT IN MOST CASES. WHEN IT IS ENGAGED TO COME DOWN. THERE IS A PRESSURE PLATE THAT COMES DOWN FIRST. TO HELP HOLD THE PAPER IN PLACE. IF THE USER PUTS TO MANY COMICS /BOOKS/PAPER IN THE CUTTER AND IT IS NOT VERY TIGHT UP AGIAST THE BACK / JOGGED DOWN CORRECT. WHEN THE BLADE ENGAGES THE PRESSURE PLATE COMES DOWN AND IF THERES TO MUSH PAPER THE PAPER WILL SLIP A LITTLE TO THE LEFT AS THE PRESSURE PLATE AND BLADE ENGAGE. THE SLIP MAYBE ONLY A CM OR 2 BUT IT MAKES THE BORDER OF THE COMIC SOMETIMES CHIP AND LEFT EDGE/ CUT THE BOTTOM PART OF THE COMIC JUST A LITTLE CROOKED. THIS IS ALL A BUNCH OF TECH GARBAGE BUT IS A COMBO. IF A BLADE IS DULL , AND THE USER PUTS TO MANY PAGES IN THE CUTTER AND THEN DOESNT JOG THE COMICS OR MAKE SURE HIS BACK GAUGE HAS A NICE FIT THE PAPER WILL SLIP. THE PRESSURE BLADE WOULD CRUSH YOUR HAND. SO THINK ABOUT THE PRESSURE ON THE PAPER.
