Pretty nice setup! I have only a half dozen years experience with the digital approach to bookbinding and about 30 years in commercial print and bindery( World Color, Quebecor, Quad, Transcontinental). I have only had about a years experience with a Bourg/Challenge setup and I have to say they are pretty user friendly.The place I worked for was only using the PUR glue and I hated it. I could never get consistant results from job to job. I have always used hot melt glues and had much better results. Not to mention the the maintenance and attention that was needed for the PUR was so time consuming. I loved the Challenge trimmer because as a commercial printer all my trimmer setups and adjustments were made manually while digital adjustments are so simple. I have to say your knowledge of paper weight, grain, coating is very good as I have worked with so many people who are running digital printers and have no idea what they are doing and don't understand grains and what leads to cracking. As a life long bindery guy, I'd follow you any day!
