2024 in Binding

I started bookbinding back in April, so it's been about nine months of learning. Here are the stats:

Fanbinds: 29 30 complete binds of 18 19 different typesets. (Mostly one typeset = one fic but I have a couple of compilations of shorter fics in there.) I might actually eke out one more before January 1, which would make the total a pleasingly round 30. Done!

Blank book binds: 21 blank books of various sizes, mostly gifted to friends.

Rebinds: Only 2! This is a great way to practice making cases, though. I will do more in the year to come.

Public Domain/Non-Fannish Binds: 8 books -- two public domain binds, two copies of a book of plays written by a friend's parent, and four copies of a book of stuff from a parent of mine.

Total binds: 60! 61! Whoa.

Some photos!

First book, feat. very ugly cover paper, scorch marks, and terrible hinges.

Fave book (that can currently be shared publicly):

Latest (fannish) book:

More rambling under the cut.

With my typical ADHD-style approach, I definitely didn't hone one style/technique at a time. Things I've learned/tried in binding include:

case binding (with and without bradel-style construction)

three-piece bradel binding

coptic binding (a journal, I didn't share it)

sewn-board binding

criss-cross binding (haven't shared yet!)

sewn pamphlet binding

stab binding

double fan/Lumbeck binding for paperbacks

many quirky small binding styles in my weekend course (matchbook, accordion, dos-a-dos, origami, and more)

In terms of finishing techniques, I've tried:

Endbands from bookcloth

Sewn endbands (French faux double-core) with cotton and silk

French link

Sewn on tapes

Made endpapers

Tete-beche binding (haven't shown y'all that one yet...)

Paper-covered boards

Homemade bookcloth

Hot foiling onto cloth (yet to be featured on a fanbind)

HTV on cloth (of course)

Toner-activated foiling

Wrap covers

Dust jackets

Box-making (for spouse - a card game needed a box)

I have acquired/made lots of equipment but my faves currently are:

Cricut Maker 3

HFS guillotine (love/hate relationship)

homemade book press out of cutting boards

Wrapped bricks for weights

Bone folders - real bone and teflon

Epson ET-15000 colour printer (still getting used to it but it's nice)

And of course I've honed and improved on typesetting and design skills using InDesign, Illustrator, Bookbinder.js, and (recently) Canva.

What do I want to do in 2025?

more gift binds!

thermal-bound paperbacks (binder acquired via Xmas!)

slipcases

a fanbind with foil-quilled covers

inlaid bookcloth covers

embroidered decoration

rounded spines

backed spines??? Maybe?

edge gilding/painting

bookmark charms

laser-cut insets on covers

a magnetic closure on a bind

get better at coptic binding

learn how to make straighter cuts with the stupid guillotine

learn how to marble papers (paper-marbling starter kit acquired via Xmas gifts!)

End of ramble.

openSUSE + raspberry pi + epson LX-300+II

Bagi yang ga familiar ama judul diatas, mohon maaf. Karena ini juga bagian dari dokumentasi teknis. Berkat salah hari, yang kukira tanggal hitam tapi ternyata tanggal merah. Kayak salah kostum, enak kagak pake seragam kalau hari libur tuh. Bisa mampir sana sini kerjaan by remote aja. *abaikan yang barusan

Yah. Karena ada printer nganggur, dan kebetulan bawa raspberry pi yang merupana mini PC dari kampus yang masih ku bawa. Walhasil keisengan pun dimulai.

Gambar 1. Tampilan meja yang tetep semrawut walau tiap masuk diberesin. dan Abaikan juga isi CPU nya. Karena emang itu CPU bekas yang intinya rakitan dan pokoknya bisa nyala.

Gambar 2. Ini adalah raspberry pi, yang di install openSUSE tumbleweed. Sangat membantu, karena kernelnya juga baru. Ngga selawas openSUSE leap.

Gambar 3. Ini adalah bintang dari percobaan kali ini, karena dia adalah printer purba yang kayaknya sudah ada sejak Windows XP masih jaya jayanya.

Setelah mencari-cari dari beberapa literatur, dikarenakan tidak menggunakan versi openSUSE biasa, namun menggunakan versi untuk board arm. Jadilah semua fitur yang termuat di setting tidak muncul (terutama fitur untuk melakukan setting printer). Akhirnya digunakanlah CUPS 'The Common Unix Printing System'. (Cari : YAST Printer)

Langkah - langkahnya seperti berikut :

1.\ Karena CUPS diakses melalui web browser serta port 631, sesuaikan aja networknya. Karena males ribet, akhirnya pake localhost aja (127.0.0.1). Tampilan seperti ini berikut, dengan klik Administration. dan klik Add Printer.

2.\ Setelah klik Add Printer, maka tampilan akan mendeteksi printer yang sudah terhubung dengan system. Tertera disana EPSON LX-300+ . Klik continue,

3.\ Selanjutnya, namai printer yang terhubung. Sesuaikan saja isiannya...

4.\ Nah bagian ini adalah bagian yang bikin galau, soalnya di scroll pun modelnya tetep ga ada. Alhasil, 'ngasal' milih Epsin 24-PIN Series, karena disana ada port LPT nya.

5. \ Terakhir, finalisasi.. Bahwa Printer EPSON sudah berhasil ditambahkan.

6.\ Kegiatan selanjutnya adalah lakukan test print. Jika berhasil, maka printer akan memproses print. Karena Printer LX-300+II bisa dual mode, ngeprint pake continuous-paper, ataupun A4. jangan lupa saklarnya disesuaikan ya..

Selesai.

How to Upgrade Your Office Printing Setup with Rentals

Having an efficient and modern printing setup is crucial for maintaining workflow and productivity in any office. Whether you're a startup, a growing business, or a well-established company, managing printing needs smartly can directly impact your operational costs and daily efficiency. That’s where printer for rent options step in as a game-changing solution for businesses aiming to upgrade their printing infrastructure without burning a hole in their budget.

Why Traditional Setups Fall Short

Many offices still rely on outdated printers that are slow, inefficient, and expensive to maintain. These machines often require frequent servicing, expensive cartridge replacements, and lack the advanced features that newer models offer. Additionally, as businesses grow and printing needs increase, outdated setups can cause delays, productivity drops, and unnecessary stress for employees.

Investing in a new high-end printer might not be feasible for every organization—especially when technology evolves so quickly. This makes printer rental a smart alternative.

Advantages of Upgrading Your Office Printing Setup Through Rentals

1. Access to the Latest Technology

Printer rental services give your office access to the newest models with modern features like wireless printing, cloud integration, duplex printing, energy efficiency, and more. You no longer have to commit to a huge purchase every time technology upgrades. Rentals allow businesses to switch or upgrade models as needs change.

2. Cost Savings

Renting a printer eliminates the upfront cost of buying expensive hardware. Instead, you pay a monthly or quarterly fee that’s predictable and often includes maintenance, servicing, and supplies. This can significantly reduce your capital expenditure and improve budget planning.

3. Scalability and Flexibility

As your business grows, your printing needs will evolve. Printer rental services allow you to upgrade or downgrade your equipment based on your current requirements. Whether you're adding more departments or downsizing temporarily, renting ensures your printing setup can adapt quickly.

4. Maintenance and Support Included

Most printer rental agreements include technical support and routine maintenance. This means fewer headaches for your internal IT team and less downtime due to printer issues. You’ll have professional technicians just a call away, ready to resolve problems swiftly.

5. Better Print Quality and Speed

Older printers often produce lower-quality prints and work at a slower pace. By opting for rentals, you get access to top-tier machines that print faster, handle larger volumes, and deliver superior output—especially important for client-facing materials.

How a Bangalore Printing Company Can Help

If you're based in the tech hub of India, working with a trusted Bangalore printing company can make the transition smooth and hassle-free. Many local vendors provide tailored printer rental solutions designed for Bangalore-based startups, coworking spaces, and large offices alike.

These companies understand the dynamic nature of businesses in the city and often offer same-day delivery, installation, and tech support. Some also provide flexible rental plans—whether you need the printer for a week, a month, or long-term—allowing you to test various models before committing.

Look for a Bangalore provider that offers a wide range of brands (like HP, Canon, Epson, Xerox), as well as service packages that cover toner replacements, regular checkups, and emergency repairs.

What to Consider Before Renting

Before upgrading your office setup through a printer rental service, consider the following:

Volume: How many pages does your office print per day or month?

Functionality: Do you need a basic printer or a multi-function device that scans, copies, and faxes too?

Space: Make sure the model you choose fits well in your office space.

Network Integration: Ensure the printer can integrate with your current office network or cloud systems.

Support Service: Choose a vendor that offers 24/7 or fast-response technical support.

Making the Shift: A Simple Process

Switching to a rental-based printing setup is easier than you think. Here’s how to do it:

Assess Your Current Printing Needs: Understand how much you print and what features you lack.

Research Local Providers: Especially in urban hubs like Bangalore, there are many experienced printer rental companies.

Request a Demo or Trial: Some companies offer trial periods or demo models.

Review Terms and Conditions: Understand rental duration, service agreements, and any penalties.

Install and Monitor: Once the printer is installed, monitor performance and communicate regularly with your vendor for any upgrades or changes.

Final Thoughts

Upgrading your office printing setup doesn’t always require a large investment. With smarter alternatives like printer for rent services, businesses can enjoy high-end printing capabilities without the financial and maintenance burdens of owning a device.

This approach not only helps you stay technologically updated but also keeps your business agile and cost-efficient. Whether you're working out of a small office, managing a team of 100, or running a temporary project site, renting a printer can be the key to smoother operations and better productivity.

Best DTF Printers in 2024: A Complete Buying Guide

In the evolving world of custom apparel and fabric printing, Direct to Film (DTF) technology has made a remarkable impact, offering superior versatility, vibrant colors, and cost-effective results. If you're considering stepping into the garment printing business or upgrading your current setup, choosing the best DTF printers in 2024 is a crucial step toward achieving professional-grade prints. Among the top-rated options, platforms offering quality DTF transfers stand out for their reliability and sharp output, making them ideal for businesses of all sizes.

What is DTF Printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a revolutionary method that involves printing designs onto a special film and then transferring the print onto fabric using a heat press. Unlike traditional methods like DTG (Direct to Garment), DTF is compatible with a broader range of fabrics—cotton, polyester, blends, and more. The process includes printing the design with specialized ink, applying hot melt powder, and heat curing before pressing onto the final garment. This flexibility and vibrant finish have made DTF a go-to for print shops and apparel brands.

Key Benefits of DTF Printers

1. Versatile Fabric Compatibility DTF printing supports an extensive range of materials, including cotton, polyester, leather, nylon, and synthetic fibers. This gives print businesses the ability to diversify their product offerings without investing in multiple types of equipment.

2. Lower Production Costs Compared to DTG and screen printing, DTF printing can be more economical, especially for small to medium production runs. The initial setup is often less expensive, and consumables like film and ink are readily available.

3. High-Quality Prints with Vibrant Colors Thanks to the precision of modern DTF printers and advanced ink formulations, prints come out rich, vibrant, and durable. The color fastness and wash resistance are often superior to other methods.

4. Simple Application Process DTF transfer printing is relatively straightforward. Once your design is printed and powdered, it’s just a matter of heat pressing. This simplicity makes it ideal for newcomers to the printing industry.

Top Features to Consider When Buying a DTF Printer

1. Print Resolution and Speed Look for printers with high resolution (at least 1440 DPI) for crisp and detailed prints. Consider the print speed as well—especially important if you plan on handling bulk orders.

2. Printer Size and Film Compatibility Depending on your business size, choose between A3 or A2 format printers. Ensure the printer supports commonly available film sizes to avoid supply issues.

3. Ink System and White Ink Circulation DTF printers require CMYK and white inks. White ink circulation is essential to prevent clogging and ensure even print quality, especially in high-demand settings.

4. Software Compatibility Good RIP software can optimize your prints for color accuracy and layout efficiency. Look for printers that come bundled with or are compatible with reliable RIP systems like AcroRIP or Cadlink.

5. Maintenance and Support Ease of maintenance is crucial, especially for first-time users. Choose brands or resellers that offer solid customer support, accessible training, and replacement parts.

Best DTF Printers to Consider in 2024

1. Epson L1800 DTF Printer Ideal for startups and small businesses, the Epson L1800 offers high-quality prints at a competitive price point. It supports A3 film and is compatible with most RIP software.

2. Prestige A3+ DTF Printer Known for its ease of use and consistent output, this printer is a strong contender for mid-range users. It features automated maintenance options and integrated white ink circulation.

3. L1800 Pro with Roll Feeder This model is perfect for higher-volume operations. The roll feeding system enables continuous printing, which saves time and reduces waste.

4. Audley 24” DTF Printer A great option for large-scale businesses, this wide-format printer delivers on both speed and resolution. With dual print heads and large-capacity ink tanks, it's designed for high-output environments.

Tips for Maintaining Your DTF Printer

Run Regular Cleaning Cycles: Prevent ink buildup and clogging.

Use High-Quality Consumables: Inferior films or powders can damage the print head and reduce output quality.

Control Temperature and Humidity: Store films and inks in a controlled environment to maintain print consistency.

Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Always adhere to maintenance schedules and recommended settings. Find us here

Startup Print Shops: Lower investment compared to screen printing or DTG.

E-commerce Brands: Quick turnaround times and design flexibility.

Promotional Product Companies: Print on-demand without minimum order quantities.

Fashion Designers and Creatives: Custom prints with intricate details and vibrant colors.

Whether you're printing custom t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, or promotional gear, DTF offers a competitive edge in both quality and flexibility.

The best DTF printers in 2024 offer a powerful combination of print quality, speed, and affordability, making them essential tools for anyone serious about garment decoration. From small startups to established enterprises, these printers provide the reliability and efficiency needed in today’s fast-paced custom apparel market.

Custom DTF Designs: Bringing Your Ideas to Life

Introduction

In the fast-paced world of fashion and custom merchandise, the demand for unique and personalized designs has skyrocketed. Enter Direct to Film (DTF) printing, a revolutionary method that allows businesses and individuals alike to bring their creative visions to life. With the rise of Custom DTF Designs, artists, entrepreneurs, and hobbyists can now easily create stunning prints that are vibrant, durable, and ideal for various applications. This article will explore the ins and outs of Custom DTF Designs, providing you with valuable insights into how this innovative printing technique works, its benefits, and how you can leverage it for your projects.

What is DTF Printing?

DTF Printing stands for Direct to Film printing. It involves printing designs onto a special film using high-quality inks. After printing, a powdered adhesive is applied before curing the ink with heat. The film can then be transferred to various substrates such as textiles or apparel using a heat press.

The Process of DTF Transfer Printing

The process of DTF transfer printing consists of several key steps:

Design Creation: Start with a digital design, often created using graphic design software. Printing: Use a direct-to-film printer to print your design onto specialized transfer film. Adhesive Application: Apply a heat-activated adhesive powder onto the printed film. Curing: Cure the ink and adhesive using heat, ensuring they bond well. Heat Transfer: Finally, use a heat press to apply the design onto your chosen material. Benefits of Custom DTF Designs 1. Vibrant Colors and High Detail

One of the standout features of Custom DTF Designs is their ability to produce vibrant colors with exceptional detail. Because DTF uses specialized inks tailored for this process, your designs will pop on any surface.

2. Versatility in Materials

Another significant advantage is versatility; DTF transfers can be applied to various materials including cotton, polyester, canvas, and even some leather products.

3. Durability

Unlike traditional screen printing methods that can fade over time, DTF prints are designed to withstand multiple washes without losing their integrity.

4. Cost-Effective Production

For small businesses or individual creators looking for affordable options, Custom DTF Designs offer cost-effective solutions that allow for low minimum order quantities without sacrificing quality.

Exploring Direct to Film Printers

When considering starting with DTF printing or enhancing your current setup, choosing the right equipment is crucial. A good quality direct-to-film printer can significantly impact the outcome of your designs.

10 Expert Tips to Get the Best Deal on Printer Rentals

Finding the right printer for rent can be a smart and cost-effective solution for businesses, startups, or even individuals managing short-term projects. Whether you’re equipping a temporary office or trying to avoid high upfront costs, renting a printer offers flexibility and convenience. However, getting the best deal requires more than just browsing online options — it takes a little strategy, research, and awareness.

Here are 10 expert tips to help you score the best possible deal on printer rentals.

1. Understand Your Printing Needs

Before you reach out to any rental provider, assess your printing requirements. Do you need color printing, high-speed printing, or multi-function capabilities like scanning and copying? Knowing this helps you avoid overpaying for features you don’t need — or missing out on features you do.

2. Compare Multiple Providers

Don’t settle for the first rental company you find. Compare prices, models, rental terms, and support services from at least 3–4 providers. A simple comparison can reveal which provider offers value and which one might include hidden charges.

3. Look for Short-Term and Long-Term Flexibility

Some providers offer better rates for long-term rentals, while others specialize in short-term plans. Make sure the company you choose gives you flexibility in duration — especially if your needs might change over time. Always ask about early return fees and contract modification policies.

4. Check for Hidden Charges

Always read the fine print. Some rental providers might charge extra for installation, maintenance, paper, toner refills, or printer relocation. Ensure everything is clear upfront so you don't face surprise charges later.

5. Consider the Total Cost of Ownership

Sometimes, a cheaper monthly rental rate comes with expensive ink or toner replacement costs. Ask for an estimate of the total cost of ownership (TCO) including consumables, maintenance, and any usage-based fees.

6. Go for Reliable Brands and Models

Not all printers are created equal. Stick with well-known brands that are known for durability and service. Some of the best printers in Bangalore being offered for rent come from trusted brands like HP, Canon, Epson, and Brother. These not only offer quality output but also ensure fewer breakdowns during use.

7. Ask About Maintenance and Support

Reliable technical support is key when renting office equipment. Choose a rental provider that offers 24/7 or same-day support. Also, check if preventive maintenance is part of the deal — this reduces downtime and saves money in the long run.

8. Negotiate Custom Rental Packages

Many rental companies offer customizable plans based on your printing volume and business needs. Don’t hesitate to negotiate — especially if you’re planning a bulk rental or a longer contract. You might get better pricing, free upgrades, or added accessories.

9. Inspect Before You Rent

If possible, inspect the printer before renting. Look for signs of wear, check the printing quality, and ensure all functions are working. This reduces the chances of renting outdated or malfunctioning equipment.

10. Read Reviews and Ask for References

One of the easiest ways to ensure you're dealing with a trusted provider is to read online reviews and testimonials. Ask the company for references — especially if you're renting for an event or large-scale office setup. Positive feedback from other businesses is a good sign of a reputable rental service.

Conclusion

Getting the best deal on a printer for rent isn’t just about the price — it’s about choosing the right machine, rental terms, and support to match your needs. When done right, printer rentals can significantly cut costs while boosting office productivity. Whether you're a freelancer, startup, or a corporate office setting up a new branch, these expert tips will help you rent smart and save more.

If you're looking for a trusted provider offering top-quality printers, consider choosing a printer rental service – Replica. Known for their reliability, wide printer range, and flexible rental options, Replica ensures that your printing needs are met without any hassle.
