Heidelberg 13x18 Windmill for dummies
OK I’ve been cutting envelopes for 21 years…HP die cutting, PHP die cutting, sheeting, and Polar straight knife THEN the people “upstairs” buy a Windmill and tell me they want me to run it! So…where do I start? I have 2 chases and a hot plate for foil and the machine. I found some used quoins and a key as well as furniture. I don’t know if I have all I need and where to get it let alone how to really run it. I got to go and get a quick overview for a couple of hours before it was shipped but other than how to actually start it I’m pretty much lost.
I will be scoring, diecutting and (gasp) foiling on it. I am in the Northwest and I have not see much posting here form this area.
Any points in the right direction would be helpful.
Check out Boxcar Press ( www.boxcarpress.com ) they have a YOU section were you can download a Heildelberg hints manual.

You should see if they’ll pay to send you to Denver for the next Heidelberg Intensive workshop at Foils and Dies!
