After yesterday’s rail strike, today’s early trains were cancelled, so I didn’t get to work until nearly 11am. However, I was ready to get stuck into some printing jobs. There was also a tricky virus getting up to mischief.
Thankfully, none of my clients needed me first thing!
Photo Printing on Glossy Paper
First little job of the day was a straightforward duplication of a few photos onto some nice 260gsm glossy paper.
Document Printing & Full Bleed Work
Next up was an urgent print job for a new client. It was a simple single print of a document on 80gsm standard paper.
However, the other document had a solid blue background and also needed to be full bleed (borderless). As standard paper will not hold that amount of ink without bleeding through to the other side and looking fuzzy, I used a nice smooth 120gsm matt paper instead. This can accept high-resolution prints easily.
Menu Updates for La Terrazza
Then Paolo, the owner of La Terrazza Italian Restaurant here in town (damn good food!), popped in to update his menus.
After about 15 minutes of editing, they were ready for proof-reading and printing. He had to run off and get prepped for tonight, so I’ll drop them off once I’ve closed for the day.
Virus Removal & System Clean-Up
Last job for today was a virus scan of a local hotel’s main reception PC. This had to be done sharpish, as all the other PCs in the hotel depend on it.
There were a few traces of malware and the remnants of a Trojan Horse that had snuck aboard. I upgraded Malwarebytes from the free version to the Premium paid version to enable shielded protection. That should minimise any more nasties!
I finished up with a couple of Windows updates after a quick service, and we were good to go in two hours flat.
