    Registration for PRINTING United Expo—2023 Opens

    Something more than an angry emote to add? Seriously, I'm curious as I may be heading there alone & am not familiar with the area at all. Thanks.

    Because? Employer is wanting me to go, haven't been to that location before so wondering why the sentiment.

    Infigo Storefront Users?

    Did a search, but haven't really seen many reference to the Infigo platform offering. Is anybody else currently in development with their products?

    Looking for recommendations on an expansive MIS that includes W2P, estimating, direct mail and wide format, CRM, etc.

    I could get a general idea, I wasn't involved at that level but I'll see what I can dig up. I do know there's the "Base" cost, and then on top of that all of the Modules necessary are add'l.

    A Serious Matter

    I love a good staff meeting! Said nobody. Ever.

    We've been using PrintIQ for about 3+ years now, and have it to the point where it performs all of the features you appear to be seeking. I can't say how many add'l modules it takes to get there, but somebody in our organization may be able to provide that info if you're interested. We've also...

    Any US Based shops using a CRON platesetter?

    On the low end 20-30, but when the floodgates open & the book work hits on top of the typical week-to-week jobs, can easily be 100+ for 2 shifts. I know, it's not a huge volume for many shops, but with the unreliable Screen we have now & the limited, skilled people to keep it imaging, really...

    Who has or has run a DI press

    That's a tough position to be in, I just don't think the switchover time that was what they developed the DI presses for is up to par any more with real world expectations. Maybe a well-inspected 4up conventional press is the way to go. It's a lot of up front investment for sure but we do a ton...

    Who has or has run a DI press

    We literally just had one taken off site - for scrap. It was a (used) Presstek and although I can't speak to how it was run/maintained before our shop, our ops were very good and still struggled to get more than a few jobs off in a shift. At the end it was really only good for 4c envelopes and...

    Any US Based shops using a CRON platesetter?

    We really do, one of the major reasons the T4632G+ model is in the running is an affordable autoloader. Yup, that's another consideration and I believe they can also be field-upgraded to add'l diodes for increased speed too. Noted, I'll add it to list of topics for the supplier - thanks!

    Any US Based shops using a CRON platesetter?

    Wow, thanks! I'll see if I can set up as many of these as possible. I've only been given the contact of 1 shop in the States and so far haven't been able to catch up with their Prep person so I'm in the dark here.

    Which model, when did you buy & what geographic location?

    Any US Based shops using a CRON platesetter?

    I'll do that, the selling agent is a local company so I'll ask who will be the servicing contact. What's involved with remote diagnosis? Do they rely on TeamViewer, Logmein or something similar? We'll be buying new, the TP-4632G+ model if all goes well.

    Any US Based shops using a CRON platesetter?

    Good to know, thanks! I'll be sure to ask the local selling agent who's going to be our service contact. I'll have to really get on the operators to maintain the auto-feeder, they're young and print novices but at least we're building a new room for the platesetter so I'll also make sure it's a...
