Need a new scoring and perf machine, any suggestion

[mphan0302]

Hi,

We use to use this one guy down the street for all die cut and scoring needs. But the guy is retiring and all the other places charge an arm and a leg for these services. What we need most is scoring and perfing. We got a bunch of digital machine, and scoring is necessary for most folding job. What are some of the good scoring and perfing machines out there that doesn't cost over 4,000? And no, we don't have space for a Windmill type diecutter. I'm currently looking at the rosback 220.

Hi,
We have a Quad 12, slitter, scorer, perf machine that we are going to sell. It is a very nice unit and like new. Please let me know if you might be interested.
Thanks,
Bryan

Have you considered checking with "the guy down the street" to see what equipment he has been using on your jobs? It may be that he can give some good advice as to equipment or possibly even sell you the equipment that he has been using on your jobs…who knows, maybe even give a little training on operation. If this is something you have already thought of and checked out then just ignore this post.

"The guy down the street" (LOL) has the windmill 12 x 18. It's a bit too big for the space we have left plus running that thing is a pain in the butt.

Brian, I'll look into the quad-12 and will message you. Where are you located anyway?

It sounds like to me that you will need a Creasing Solution... If you are wanting to score your digitally printed material you will struggle with any rotary scoring machine.

Please take a look at the link below for information on our line of digital creasing solutions.

Not flaming you but being honest. Don't make price your first consideration. You are looking at the long haul like the rest of us. I do not see a work horse out there for the 4k range. Maybe a used unit could fit you but there is always a risk when doing so. So here are a few questions:

1- What are your run lenghts?
2- What type of Perf are you getting done on your current list of jobs?
3- What type of folder do you have and are you considering something inline (peripheral)?
4- What type of experience do you currently have in house with this type of processing?
5- Are you UV coating anything?

I do not see where any of us can give an honest assessment of your needs without that information. But the good news is the technology is there and compact so when the dust clears you will be glad you brought this phase of finishing in house.

Good luck,
John Weaver

We use the Count EZ Creaser in our shop for our short run stuff that we don't want to set-up the die cutters for. it works like a champ. Not sure on what the price was though.

someone did post a link to Count's website above. that is what I would recommend though.
