    Tharstern Users?

    Anyone using the current version of Tharstern? Would love to hear some feedback from users on current version of the software. Even better if they are integrated with Insoft Imp.

    HP Scitex 500/550/700 Cyan Overspray?

    Photos attached. Originally we thought the issue was static or head/nozzle related. We are having this same problem on all 3 of our hybrid HP UV presses (500/550/700). The only consistent variable would be the ink we are using. Would appreciate any advice on how to fix or narrow down the...

    Thinking about digital...where to start?

    Thanks for the info. It seems the 1175P is an HP head vs the Memjet head on the countertop units. I have seen samples from the counter top units directly from iJet and was not very impressed. Is the quality any better with the HP heads?

    Thinking about digital...where to start?

    I was thinking digital envelopes for <5M qty. Anything more and I think running offset and outsourcing to a converter may be more cost effective. Either way we are hoping to find a machine that is more "set it and forget it" as we would likely be running the digital presses with existing...

    Thinking about digital...where to start?

    I appreciate your advice. It makes plenty of sense. The reason I didn't list expected sheet volume is because we aren't quite sure where we will land after adding shorter runs (<500) to our Adding shorter run quantities to our lineup would likely bring in more orders as we have quite a few...

    Thinking about digital...where to start?

    We are a trade printer in Southern California looking to get our feet wet in digital printing. For now, we do have immediate needs for envelope printing (#10, #9, A2, A7, all the way up to 10x13 catalogs...with and without windows. Approximately 30,000 envelopes a month.). Ideally, I would love...

    Paper Shortage?

    Never heard of them but just left WCP a message. Thanks for the reference. Seriously wishing you all luck in the upcoming months. It is looking like things are getting worse before they get any better.

    Multiple RIPs within workflow

    It seems redundant to run files through two RIPs unless there is a specific reason for it. Does the second RIP have integrated imposition that is being used? If not, is Prinergy able to output directly to your digital devices? What are the specific reasons the digital and wide format...

    Moll Regal Training?

    PMed you. We are starting out with presentation folders with intention to expand into other capabilities. For now we are just looking for basic training on the machine - what each button does and how all the individual functions are controlled. We spent the last few days trying to figure it...

    Moll Regal Training?

    Does anyone know who we can contact for training on an older model Moll Regal in the Los Angeles area? Looking to start ASAP and willing to pay, of course.

    Used Equipment - Moll Marathon vs Kluge Unifold?

    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately it does not. Is this something that can be purchased separately and added on for a reasonable price?

    Used Equipment - Moll Marathon vs Kluge Unifold?

    We are looking into purchasing our first folder gluer and are deciding between a 1999 Moll Marathon and 2000 Kluge Unifold. We will mainly be running standard 9pt ~ 16pt pocket folders. Hoping someone might have some insight as to why one might be a better choice than the other. Some thoughts...
