My 40th year in printing and I have never seen paper go down in price. I agree with you…me thinks not either.
I have been buying up as much paper as I have room for. Running out of paper is not an option. These have been crazy times and we are having to do some strange things to stay ahead of...
FYI- for those thinking about iJet
I have the iJet Classic and will probably not purchase another machine from Printware. The cost of ownership and the cost per copy is just too high. There marketing information is not accurate at all when it comes to that. We have over 2 million envelopes run...
When the soft rubber feed tires get worn they will start causing feeding issues. Ideally, start with good rubber and then when setting up the machine slide 1 sheet of the paper you are running under the tire and adjust to where there is slight tension as you pull it out. After that you would be...
Just a side note on the ijet color. We have one and its only about 3-1/2 years old and we recently received an email(s) from ijet telling us our current rip is NO LONGER SUPPORTED and we should upgrade to a new system that will cost us "Only" $333.00 for 12 months. So... caution should be taken...
We have an ijetcolor from printware. It’s ok but like everything its not perfect. For short run envelopes it is good. If it’s basic ink coverage it is great but the more coverage then the more ink it uses and the more you have to charge. Supplies are all proprietary and everything is EXPENSIVE...
One thing about the Canon 750 is that it is NOT the current model by Canon. Its been replaced by the 710/810/910 model. Hopefully you got a BIG discount on it. My local Canon dealer is offering a 750 for a huge discount compared to the 810.
Correct. you only have chemistry in the jugs and it pumps it up and then back down. It circulates in a shallow tray. The processor is simple (cheap) and its fairly user serviceable.
I have the same processor. Chemistry does not "stay" in the processor. It works totally different then what you have probably used in the past. You have separate jugs of chemistry that sit under the processor and the fluid sucks up one tube and drains back down through the overflow tube right...
Ive seen the Kustom Corners in person. They are located only about 10 miles from me.... its pretty awesome and if you do a LOT of round corning its a must. If you don't do much at all then it will be hard to justify the cost.
I have had the exact same issues trying to convert a 4/1 with the 1 color being black only and having the crops stay as CMYK. I end up not being able to duplex and just simplex and then printing the back as Greyscale only. Hopefully someone has a "EASY" fix. A lot of misunderstanding of what is...
When we have ink "dripping" from our 3302 it has been because of ink buildup on the frames crossbars which run from 1 side frame to the other and are right up next to the rollers. You normally need to remove the rollers to get to them. We normally need to clean the bars off once a year. We...
Not far behind you buddy. In the same boat as you and others. Been doing it 34 years and I've been burned out a LONG time. Survival is all its about and all its been about for the past 7-8+ years. Wish I could crack the cement thats holding my feet down. Good Luck to you!!!
"As low as $695 a month"... wow. We do manual Job Tickets (excel) and use a OLD cheap program for estimating. I can't imagine paying that much per month for estimating, job tickets, etc. (I have 7 employees)
We tried the laser printer to plate (psotscript) and we had mixed results and so purchased a Xante and it was almost as bad. Dealing with lead edge toning and toner scatter, etc... it was a mess. we ended up getting a Kimosetter 410. HUGE difference for us. All of our pressmen love those plates...
