![]() 856 forum posts 212 photos | Pages of the last three model engineer magazine that I have received have fallen apart. Has the paper been changed that they are printed on? I have never had this problem before! Brian

1074 forum posts 290 photos | I had the middle page of MEW 253 fall out - the staples had cut through the paper. I think the stapling mechanism needs adjusting. |

![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | Could be a sneaky method by the subscriptions department to get us to buy the binders which use a thin steel rod to hold the mag in place so even if the stitching wire (not known as staples in the trade) has cut through you won't loose a page. |

The middle pages (plan) of 253 weren't stapled in. Neil It was the actual middle pages (nos. 33-36) that fell out. |

3681 forum posts 70 photos | There is no doubt in my mind, the quality of the cover is better, much thicker but the pages are so much thinner, not good for long life or repeated use. Throw away age I am afraid. Somebody somewhere has no doubt been given a golden bean for saving a penny or two in the production of each copy. |

8 forum posts | It appears I need to "make a small number of forum posts" before I can respond to a classified ad (about old ME mags), despite having been registered with this forum for a good many years, and posted a couple of posts in 2014. So this is just one of my "small number".

![]() 183 forum posts | I used to make envelopes in a previous life and what paper you ran always determined if the machine would run or not, they were and still are I suspect very sensitive, as are print presses |
