    Spiral Binding Closing Down

    My binding appears to be open again according to the photo on the main page of their website. (attached) I haven't tried ordering anything from them though.

    KM1 File setup tips?

    It's a used KM-1 with upgrades that mostly make it a KM-1e. I know we can reach out to support but I just figured I would ask here to see if there is anyone else who has run into these problems. KM Support isn't going to be familiar with running jobs on machines from other manufacturers. I will...

    KM1 File setup tips?

    It SHOULD be but it's not. The Canon is a PRISMAsync and I'm not sure what the KM1 uses. It's a Konica system but I'm not sure if they're using some other RIP on the backend.

    KM1 File setup tips?

    We recently purchased a KM1 and have a great results but occasionally have run into issues with certain screens or images that seem to be getting translated oddly vs our Canon iX3200. I was wondering if anyone out there has one of these and has any certain pre-press or file setup tips.

    Spiral Binding Closing Down

    Yeah I actually got an email from Skandacor, who we buy laminate from and they announced it trying to drum up business as they sell binding supplies too. We mostly make our own coils as we have a coil former but I was getting my filament from Spiral. Of course, turns out they were getting it...

    VDP Options

    FusionPro can handle that pretty easily. It's a plug-in for Acrobat but the rules and coding are based in Javascript, so it's pretty powerful. I've used it for 4 or 5 years and it's worked pretty great. There's also an online forum that has a ton of resources as you're getting started and even...

    Ijet color 1175

    When you say poor quality, can you be more specific? From what I've seen, the pigment inks from HP and Memjet look great but color wise, they aren't as vibrant as toner. This mainly because they tend to soak into the sheet a bit more. We don't have a printer with an HP printhead so I can't say...

    Bizarre issue with Ricoh flipping every fourth page 180 degrees

    Did you ever get this resolved? The only thing I can think of that drives us wild sometimes is the (absolutely useless) "select paper tray from PDF page size" option in Acrobat. That little checkbox seems to get clicked and always throws us for a loop. No one ever remembers selecting it. I've...

    Ricoh Tech Conversation Today...

    Yeah, we've had ricoh's for years (9110, 8220, 8320, 7210) and have never had any issues like that. Could be a board issue. Also, when they replaced the HDD, did they replace one or all of them? One of our 9110s had an issue with an HDD and they ended up having to replace all 3 in order to get...

    Does anyone have experience with both a HP Indigo and a Canon Varioprint iX 3200 press?

    There are several different pricing models to choose from, I believe. One is fully click based and the other gives you lower rates depending on coverage. So, if you have a job that is only using 10% coverage, you get a much lower rate than something that has 40 or 50% coverage. This is useful if...

    Help with 32pt business cards

    Option 2 is not the correct model as the SA-1420 SPL doesn't actually glue the sheets. It just presses 2 sheets together after one has been applied with glue. The better option would be the SA-1420. We have the R Gluer from Glue Machinery Corp. It applies a cold adhesive to the sheet and works...

    Basic Imposition Software

    I'll second the fact that quite isn't good for sequential items that need to stay in order. It is pretty good at being able to create custom margins, though. We have a Graphic Whizard slitter/cutter that has odd margins and gutters and we're able to set up our business cards easily. We also use...

    Folder for folding nested or stapled sets

    Yeah, that's what we have. It works okay but it's slow. Just wondering if there are any better options out there.

    Folder for folding nested or stapled sets

    Are there any good machines out there for folding nested or corner stapled sets? We have an old Profold machine that works sometimes but it's not consistent and they don't make parts for it anymore. Sometimes we can get through it by hand dropping them in our Stitchliner but that only works if...
