Nice move on the bearing. I'll search for one that has a good screen, thanks. Wish me luck.

Just in case anyone was wondering..It looks like I just have to bite the bullet and buy an new control unit. However, a new control unit costs as much as a used cutter. A supplier told me that these control units are very unreliable, so new "unreliable" control unit or used cutter...

I've got a Wohlenberg Type 76 paper cutter that works fine, except for the touch screen. It's almost completely washed out. We have been getting by with experienced operators who just remember where to press for the basic functions. I need to get a new screen, the parts suppliers won't sell...

This might be taking it too far, but the bid may have been written with a specific printer in mind. I have experienced this myself with government bids, hopefully it is not the case. But as "D" said, check the source, maybe you can offer the Heidelberg process as an alternative, if that's your...

Currently it is high speed steel. I don't know the grade of the steel, I will ask the vendor. I got the new blade in Feb of 2014 and the operators loved it, since it was the first time we went up to HSS. It is now March 2015 and I'm shopping around for another blade. I have thought about...

Thanks for the responses,yeah, I figured that special equipment would be needed. Nobody in my area has that kind of technical service. Even the steel blades that are sharpened, don't hold their edge for long. Is there a kit or sharpening machine for in-house sharpening?

I am about to change the cutting knife on my Wohlenberg, the high speed steel was quoted at around $300, the tungsten carbide was 3 times that at little over $900. Is the tungsten carbide that much better? We cut everything from newsprint to 300 gsm stock paper. Which would you choose and why?

Hello, I know this not a technical question, but maybe someone can help with this. I am trying to find a parts/owners manual (preferably parts manual) for my Roland 202TOB sheetfed. If anyone has one, I would be happy to buy it or please point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time.

Hi Tom, Thank you for your response, we will try your suggestions and will let you know how it worked. Thanks again.

Hmm, six days and no suggestions. Am I the only printer on printplanet that uses this machine, I sure hope not.

Thanks, Steven. Printex looks interesting, seems like a perfect reason to visit Australia in May!

I'm new to the biz, so got a lot to learn. I just printed 500 pieces #10 Readiseal window envelopes and had around 75 of them tear, just at the bottom of the window. I'm printing on a one color Ryobi 2700 and it was a two color job, so the damage was over two runs. Is this acceptable...

Thanks Teresa, I checked out their site. Looks like there is a printing trade show in March 2015, however, it's primarily geared towards label printing. I'm looking more at book/booklet finishing, web/sheet fed offset and digital.

I will be travelling through Asia and Australia during 1st quarter 2015, any worthwhile trade shows during that time? Interested in the digital and finishing areas.

Is speed the same for duplex printing?
