My Duplo DC-618 is a workhorse. Can't imagine not having it, especially cutting business cards, or cutting/scoring not cards.

Ryobi 3200 with AE T-51, crestlines on both, RipIt Speedsetter 2X polyester CTP with processor and RIP. All in working order, can see run if wanted. Also have 2 additional Ryobi presses for parts. Both are about 95% complete and could easily be put back in operation. Located in Central Florida.

Selling my Ryobi 3200 MCD, with Anniversary T-Head. Both the Ryobi and the T-Head have crestline dampners. In running order, no cylinder blemishes. I also have two 90% plus complete parts presses, and one T-Head for parts. Will include several pounds of ink, and 20 or so gallons of press...

I currently have 3 Canon Imagepresses, a C750, C850 and a C910. My biggest issue with the Canons, and the KM I had previously, is the image size never is at a true 100%, nor does it back up properly. The print length on a 19" sheet can be as much as 1/16 too short or too long, more commonly...

Printware (i-Jet HP FI-1000) inks are $250 for 250 ml CMY, $399 for 500 ml. The bad thing about all these options are the proprietary inks. Once you spend tens of thousands for their machine, you are at their mercy for the cost of the inks.

For the HP inks, I was quoted $145 for the CMY inks, (cyan 237 ml, Magenta 233 ml, yellow 225 ml) and $310 for black 498 ml. I don't do the volume to justify spending $95,000 for the FireJet. The Martin Yale (Postmark) is about half of that. The FireJet is 4 months out once you order and pay...

I am strongly considering the Martin Yale 1170Pro (formerly Postmark 1170). It is the HP FI-1000 print head. Speed is rated similar to the i-jet 1175 pro, but priced between the 1175 and 1175 pro. Supported by my local dealer.

If OKI is a toner based machine, so you can't print standard window envelopes because the fuser will melt the window film. Same issue with the Xante Enpress. Memjet inks look washed out to me, and the blacks are a greenish gray. I have samples from Printware from a 1175 (HP based print head)...

JetPlate woes JetPlate woes I would suggest you look long and hard at other systems before purchasing a JetPlate. I bought the 4 up system 5 years ago and have nothing but problems, and eventually had to just give up and put the system in the back of the shop where it is collecting dust. The...
