You can recycle UV but it's separated from normal waste by the recyclers. We get a lower amount per pound when it's recycled. I am willing to be that the "UV is not recyclable" statement originally was said to that person by a printers/salesman who didn't own a UV coater. They will say...

Sent you mail.

I upgraded my equipment specifically because of autoduplexing. I can now autoduplex 325gsm vs the 700 being only 221gsm. It's a huge pain in the behind and if you're buying a stacker than it's basically useless without autoduplex. What good is lightsout production if you have to flip your...

Your mileage may very completely from other people's deals. Pay attention to the click cost as well, that's where your most of your money will be spent. I have a 700, and remember it won't duplex more than 221GSM and the front/back reg is 2mm vs most other machines in it's class or above is...

Sorry for the 15 replies but don't forget looking at ImagePress 7010 in that mix. It's a great machine (and I think that there is a stop sell on the 8000, now you have to buy the 8080 which is in the same price range as 7010, new atleast)

I believe it depends what his end game is. If it's a way to control his static offset postcard work in house without a major investment it's probably ok, but not cost effective. If he wants to control his own destiny in producing his work and cost doesn't factor into the equation then sure, the...

I make my entire press payment with the savings from the plate costs of the DI to a CTP system. Sure you have extra expense, labor, chemicals, but the other all savings is certainly significant. I was a DI owner (2002 QMDI Pro up to 40MM impressions before selling it), and I'm not trashing...

The answer to this is outsource gangrun high quantity (1250+ or no more than 2500+) and lease a low end digital to open up your on demand / rush / short run mailers. The 5000ap you talked about in your other post would suite your needs fine if it's a good enough price. The nice thing about...

Hi Tim, Long time no speak! How is your Jet One's treating you? My suggestions are... Stay away from 700 unless you're going 770 (just released this month) so you can duplex your stocks. We have a 700 in the shop but without duplexing board stocks you'll be babysitting jobs on the printer...

I can vouch for Purlem. Although we haven't put the product into full use and marketed to our customer base, we have tested and integrated his solution and it is straightforward and exactly as described. Pricing is right and support is right there. We are just putting together through our...
