In the reg mark settings in the Duplo software, try setting both distances to 3mm. I was having trouble with this as well but when I entered 3mm (or higher) for each distance it turned on. Hope that helps!

We've been having problems with staple carts for our DBM150 as well. We order two boxes each time, and there have been at least two duds each order, which is frustrating.

Hmm, didn't think it was a big deal, after all my sales person told me about it, and we have a license.

There is a trick that we sometimes use - Use the demo version of Impose on a non-licensed computer. It does have the watermark, however all you need to do is open and close the imposed file at the server computer and the watermark is gone. It's not perfect but only takes a few seconds.

We have the Duplo DBM-150 Unit and am interested in adding the face trimming unit. Currently we use our guillotine for face trimming, but it requires manually rolling out/flattening thicker or plus cover booklets before face trimming. I'm wondering how well the face trim unit works for thicker...

What kind of coated stock are you having problems creasing? We have a 618 and print a lot of super heavy toner coverage and haven't had a problem with cracking, even with 100% K coverage on the crease. YMMV if you are using 80# text because we generally only crease 100#T and heavier. A couple...

We've had a (new) 618 since November of '22 and it's been a gamechanger for us. If it were me I would go with 618 for the newer tech and not have to worry about the wear and tear on the used machine. The blades have to be replaced rather than sharpened (per Duplo, there might be a "hack" that...

Hi There! I have a new DC-618, and am having trouble connecting to Fiery Impose. I was able to connect initially, but now when I try to connect through preferences in Impose, the IP test always fails. I've tried using the default IP address as well as the server IP address that is shown on the...

Soggy, do all stocks double feed on your 646, or only the lighter or heavier sheets? If pulling the trigger we are also adding in a side air unit (only adds like $240) and that is supposed to help with feeding heavier coated stocks.

Hiya! Our shop is increasing volume - albeit many projects are still short runs, however we have requests for 5K-10K ranges and we obviously cant compete with manual creasing/folding processes, so we are looking at getting some finishing equipment. We print digital only, and most of our current...

As Soggy said, this could be the culprit - but BE CAREFUL! This was the case with my Duplo 490-P and it caused the blade to sag down below the clamp. I went to grab some posters that were trimmed on a Monday morning after it had been off all weekend, without me knowing the blade was below the...

Hi There! I have a small shop in Chicago and we're basically just a Canon imagepress 8000 for small format and a Canon iPF8300S inkjet for large format. Our clientele is mostly in the entertainment industry, and we have common requests for foam board prints. We were outsourcing all of these...

I've had Secondary Transfer Voltage cause that sort of issue in the past.

No, although those can also be helpful! Here is what I mean:

Thanks for both of your replies! Here are examples of how we like to have our marks via Illustrator. It's much easier to visualize and cut so that all of our pieces are uniform. We're a super short-run shop, so we have to deal with a lot of garbage files with no bleed and not much safety margin...
