We have an older 6 pocket Bell+Howell inserter and an accumulator. I'm not familiar with the PB/Flowmaster models, but I assume they're pretty similar. They're much more mechanical than electrical, so you have to do things like lubricate the chain and tighten up loose parts from vibrations...

Are you looking at a big floor inserter, or a table top model?

Wouldn't it be easier to just broker your print jobs out at that volume?

I think it needs to be called out as "NeonP". I have a bunch of samples and that's what the brochure is referencing.

All you can really do is just test it. I find the paper grain matters more than the actual weight. Sometimes I have to cut a 12x18 down to 9x12 or 8.5x11 and run it short edge because it's making so many tight turns in the printer.

This was a couple years back, so grain of salt, but a sales guy told me he tries not to sell the Graphic whizards because they're Chinese, so parts often don't arrive in a timely manner.

My Printware Ijetcolor envelope printer auto updated. They actually told us it wouldn't work, but so far it's worked for a few months now without any issues. It's pretty frustrating that an OS that launched in 2021 still has vendors telling us not to update.

to be fair, it's a lot like medical prices. Nothing about that rip costs 75000 to make. It's like 800 in PC parts with a massive inflated mark-up. Xerox recently replaced an SD card with software and it was billed as $250 for a $12 SD card.

We had a similar issue a few months ago. There's a silver plate before the trimmer that is designed so pieces can't go up, but the set screw came loose and it ended up blocking all the pieces. In our case it actually fell off and got stuck under the knife. If you look at the photo you can see...

I'm not sure if the V1000 has one, but it might be a damaged cleaning web.

I know we recently had to replace our Pitney Bowes meter because our old one was out of compliance as well, so I don't think you're being lied to on that end.

Art is for laundering money. You just need the right clientele and you can sell anything.

We had a lot of growing pains with our C10000 when it was new and almost gave up as well. Are you with Canon direct, or is it a third party? There should be a specialist that they can escalate your issues to. I don't think the v900 would be bad, but the v1000 and the v1350 are a lot more robust...

MGX makes a 20mil, but it's not compatible with your model. 20 mil is incredibly thick, only the Indigo is actually rated for that thickness according to their spec sheet. I think you'd probably want to outsource something like that, or settle for 15mil.

Any reason you're not guillotine cutting 2up cards? It seems like it'd be significantly faster. I totally get using the Duplo for something 12+up, but not a simple 2-up layout.
