    Duplo-DBM120 parts

    I bought two more machines with hopes of getting the parts I need and maybe a backup complete unit. These even have the face trim. So I think I am ok now? Time will tell. Thanks!

    Printers Plan and customer data

    Ha! So you know exactly the vibe. Artificial shoulder and neck fused on three levels before I turned 45. Still have issues in back and neck. Waiting on a 1 level fusion for my back and more work on my neck. Isn't life grand? I wish people shared a bit more about the way they handled quoting...

    Duplo-DBM120 parts

    That’s not even a bad drive from here. Do you work on a lot of these? They really seem to be really decently made machines. But yeah parts are an issue. As with about everything after they are eol.

    The Profitability of Living Large

    I never thought of trying to make a pocket folder on a large format setup. Is this actually a thing? We are a union printer and being able to do short run union made folders would be a good product for us.

    Recieved an insane quote for Formax ColorMax8 parts

    The machines are great...but yeah pricing is out of hand. We have a iJetNXT. We do love the machine but wouldn't buy another. I don't want to use any company that has a "service contract" just so you can get a a "better price" for parts without any real in person service. The prices are still...

    Duplo DBM120 staple problems

    It's working better, we have one side staple head that wants to skip and mangle a staple a little too often. Things were worse, adjustments helped. I will say as good as this one has worked I wouldn't hesitate to buy a new one if I could afford it. This thing and our Mimaki JFX200 have been...

    Chandler & Price Co. Cutter

    Old guy feeling way older lately here. Is 55 the new 75? Even my artificial parts hurt when I wake up in the morning. Is it something like this one? Maybe figure out a bigger wheel for more leverage? This one in the video seemed pretty easy both ways. I don't have one but I have looked at a...

    Duplo DBM120 staple problems

    I just wanted to publicly thank you for sending those parts. We definitely can find good use for a couple of bits. I really appreciate the assist!

    Duplo-DBM120 parts

    Anyone have one of these DBM-120 setups dusty in a back room? Or parts around? Or maybe know of any parts for sale somewhere? We have an old machine that works pretty well. We recently got new staple heads for it one side still wants to mangle the staple from time to time. I went through the...

    Printers Plan and customer data

    Thanks, for the reply. As I dig deeper I see you can export some of it. I will have to research more. MI4P Odyssey is one I haven't heard of before. I really am looking for something less expensive that I can host locally. I'm looking at some options like rolling our own, just not sure I have...

    Supplier suddenly cancels service agreement

    When I recently put out the word I was thinking about a new machine I got several companies that wanted to sell and service a new Ricoh. There has to be another company that can work on that thing.

    Ricoh Tech Conversation Today...

    The software changeover to M series processors has broken the software on my machine but not my artists setup. Both the same computers no less. I need to make another run at it.

    Ricoh Tech Conversation Today...

    That tech is crazy. We have two 7100 machines and that is all we have ever pushed to them. I would run that further up the flagpole. I send a email to the service dept manager or one of the sales guys and that usually makes them send out two techs. There is also a fiery pro on the team that has...
