====Creasing Steps====
#[WIP]
[[File:VEVOR Electric Creasing Machine (Location).jpg|thumb|Last known location of the creasing machine]]
[[File:Creasing machine setup for brochure.jpg|thumb|Example setup of creasing machine for brochure]]
#Locate the paper creasing machine in Arts (see photo)
#*[https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Electric-Creasing-Machine-Multi-function/dp/B06XWDQDBQ VEVOR Electric Creasing Machine 18 Inch 460mm]
#*It's big and blue and likely near the printers
#Open the lid and verify that the wheel is set to crease the page into 1/3 + 2/3
#*We currently only have one creasing wheel
#*See photo for an example setup
#Close lid, turn on machine, insert paper, and make the first crease
#*'''Make sure the front faces up'''
#*Creasing with the front facing down results in broken fibers at the crease line
#*Support the paper on the sides as it feeds through to prevent the crease line from wandering
#*(You get a feel for this after a few creases)
#Rotate paper upside down, and crease again
#*Keep the front facing up, just rotate it around the z-axis
#Use a bone folder (or your nail lol) to fold the paper along the crease marks
#*You may need to do a little finessing to make sure the inner flap is marginally smaller than the outer
#*(You'll get a feel for this after a few creases, too)
