We have both of those cutters in our shop. Both are solid machines. On the Baumcut side we have had the piston that pulls the knife back up after the cut blow out on us about 4 times. Not a fun thing to change. The Challenge loves to get sheets stuck under the back gauge. I find that a line...

our install has not happened yet. It is looking like August for us. We decided to move our company to New Jersey so that put a hold on some things. We have a new Shinohara 75, Indigo 7800, Prinergy/Insite and Trendsetter being installed all at once. Fun times ahead.... if i dont blow my brains...

i bought the ricoh version with the enterprise feeder last year. i seriously love this machine. do i have problems with it from time to time? of course just like every other piece of equipment in the shop. what i find best to tell people is that at the end of the day you are buying a copy...

yes they offer XMF remote. Seems ok but i think kodaks Insite is better.

no i am not.

I have looked at the ins and outs of both. we are in the same boat as well. In the end i have decided to go with Prinergy. Prinergy is cheaper both up front and in service. I was quoted $6600 annually for prinergy and $9800 for XMF. That XMF contract does include $1500 annually for PackZ's...

We have a Kustom Corners. its pretty much the best thing i have ever seen.. :) no really. if you have a need for a round cornering machine, this is the one.

I think we are going with Prinergy. I do feel after all i have seen, Prinergy does have more to offer. And I am not seeing the high cost of ownership with Kodak. It seems they have changed some things and made the product more in line price wise with the competition. My quote from Fuji for XMF...

i just received a quote for preps at $3,975 with a floating license. you can contact Marc Jacques. He has been nothing but helpful for me. Cell: 603-973-4397 [email protected]

is there really? they are telling me there is no such thing.

Not really Rich. I have been a fuji customer for a long time so that just seemed the likely way to go. To be honest i never really looked into the others because i just assume prinergy would be the likely alternative to rampage. I was not even going to look into prinergy until i took the webex...

Hi Mjetzer, Thank you for your response. What was your experience like with XMF? I am leaning towards prinergy but i really would like to at least give xmf a shot.

What do you guys think. I have sat through demonstrations on both and it seems to me that Prinergy is far ahead of XMF. My fuji rep keeps telling me all of the Kodak horror stories and i know that is a sales tactic but i do not have any experience with Prinergy or Kodak but i also know a lot of...

We edge paint all the time. Seems as though this is a big secret and not much info out there about it but i think we figured it out. We Cut - Clamp - Sand - Airbrush. It will take some practice but its a nice touch on high end letterpress work.

I purchased one not to long ago with the enterprise feeder as well. its an ok machine as long as you accept its limitations. it is a copy machine that prints on envelopes. does it look like an offset printed envelope? no. is it easier and cheaper to print an envelope on the xante vs. offset...
