Thanks folks - got something sorted now.

Hi Until recently we had a Bindery Mate II saddle stitcher which served us well for over 30 years, unfortunately a few weeks ago it gave up to the point beyond repair. Can anyone recommend a similar machine on the market? We use it for raffle tickets, booklets (including small fixture...

If I recall correctly - I think it can be good for difficult/textured stocks to get a good transfer

Glad I could help :)

Make sure 'Image Magnification Auto Adjust' is off in both machine settings and stock settings.

Hi, wondering if anyone could help, it's a long shot though. We have a Ryobi 522HXX and the feed table won't lower by using the switch. It can be lowered using the manual override switch in the back panel so it's not a problem with the actual mechanism, it seems more electrical.

Off the top of my head, for our 9100 J098 is either over shift or over skew. Try turning Skew Detection off or Registration adjustment across feed off. They will be in the custom paper settings if they are there. Not sure if they are on the 7100 as well or just the 9100

All the same problems here in the UK! Getting really annoying now, they need to solve the quality problems

Yes, plenty control which is great but our problem is perpendicularity so the image isn't perfectly square. As I say, it's an old machine though that has had a hard life so these things are to be expected over time.

We have a 9100 that we got used. Brilliant machine, an absolute workhorse! All depends what kind of jobs your doing though as with any machine. Only drawback so far really is registration/perpendicularity problems. I think these stem from it being an old machine though, and going by what the...

Try running a developer refreshing, it won't do any harm though the techs have probably already tried this. If you're on a service contract and had the machine from new it should have all the correct dev units but as I said, that was what caused a similar problem for us with Cyan and Magenta so...

If I were you, I'd at least check the units are the correct ones. There are 3 types I think. K, C/M, and Y. I know they are very expensive parts but that was definitely the issue with ours. As I say though, ours was with the Cyan and Magenta so don't take my word for it as it could just be a...

The blacks from the 9100 are one of the downfalls but don't think ours is as bad as that. We had a similar issue with cyan and magenta, turned out the machine had the wrong developer units installed, have you checked your black dev unit and developer?

We run envelopes on our 280 and 80 before that. Pippip is right, make sure you're using quality envelopes. Also, I always use a custom paper size so I know that it is accurate.

We have just gotten a second hand 9100 and sheet to sheet registration is brilliant, 9200 is apparently a big upgrade from that too. Would depend how close register your foiling and embossing is. I would say, try to go and get demos of the machine and take your own job to run and do a real...
