My Shop

 

 

Overview

 

I think it was Winston Churchill who once admonished a member of Parliament to "get up, say what you have to say, and when you come to a sentence with a grammatical ending, sit down." Because much of the audience reading this topic will have ink running through their veins, I will gladly follow his advice:

My Shop is the control center in Morning Flight. It's where you set up presses and shop rates and packaging. And how much you charge for washups and pay for ink.

Sorry, Winston, I'll work on the grammar.

Presses

 

To set hourly press rates, click charges, and sheet sizes, highlight the press, then click the Update button.

To take a press off-line, click the Presses button, highlight the press, then click the Delete button.

ANote
The one-color offset press can't be unchecked. Morning Flight assumes that virtually every offset shop either has such a press, or at least offers one-color printing.

 

When you uncheck the four-color offset press, you'll still be able to quote four-color. Unchecking the press merely takes it off-line and assigns all four-color runs to the two-color press, twice through.

 

Unchecking a digital press or copier, on the other hand, will prevent you from quoting the type of work associated with that machine (color copies don't look very colorful coming off a black copier).
