The press I used for 8 years was crushing my spines

Took a workshop in Portland last month and the instructor watched me back a book. He asked why my joints were so deep, and I said that's just how I always did it. He had me ease off the pressure on the nipping press by half, and it hit me that my old routine was flattening the signatures near the spine. Now I'm redoing a batch of journals and wondering how many other simple habits I've got that are screwing up my finished work. Anyone else have a setup change that made you rethink everything?
