Best Folder with Scorer for my situation

[ondemandbindery]

Next time you dish out your snazzy comeback make sure you spell it right...
It's Cadillac not Cadallac

Also a Cadillac and a Chevy are for all intensive purposes the same car. You are only paying for the name and a bunch of fancy useless gizmos like driver seat memory. A better analogy would have been to use BMW versus Chevy.

Now I am interested in which scorer unit is better for KM 6501 output. I also find it curious when I talked to the MBO dealer and a Rosback dealer they both promote the Ultimate product for digital work. Maybe this is due to price, but maybe both companies feel that the Ultimate product is better for digital color work. I would like to here from more people who used both products that can weigh in on the pros and cons of both units.

For some different input start a new thread. This one is kind of too far along in a somewhat different direction to get your the most information from the forum. Like I said, it is not all about the scoring system you use. Anyone who sells you the creasing units that wants to argue that statement is no more than a vacuum cleaner salesman.

CSimpson,
I do score and fold for another shop that has a KM6500, the Ultimate Score works just fine for that too. I will add that the paper is slick as snot after it's imaged on the KM6500!

As an update, we ended up getting a used T-49. It came with a special scoring wheel for cover stock (not Tricreaser or Ultimate Score) that seems to be handling our 80# Cover stock fine. So far we are pretty happy with it. If I see it cracking too much, I will probably end up getting either an Ultimate Score or a tricreaser solution.

The most important thing obviously is you have found a solution for a problem you were having. We welcome your call should you decide the Tri - Creaser is the way to go should another cracking issue because of paper stock becomes a problem.

Have a great weekend.

That my friend is a workhorse. You can PM if you want but there is some simple maintenance stuff you can do. As for the scoring, keeps your eyes open on ebay. There was a Technifold setup on there for the 30mm shafts dirt cheap. The older metal scores can work fine. You have to stay on top of maintence on the knife shafts for good scoring. You could not have picked a better machine for the money.
