    Duplo DC-616 gutters question

    If you want to cut 12x18 into two 9x12, "auto cut" has to be turned off in the template in "FUNCTION" -- or do it in "SETTINGS" after the template is saved. From the manual: Auto cut Lead margin and trail margin are finely cut and dropped in the waste box. When documents do not have lead...

    Xerox 700

    The picture you included shows a booklet maker output tray at the very bottom. That is not the "stacker tray" traveling all the way down.

    Printer's Website

    It's not possible for the website to do it by itself. The only reason you see targeted ads for merchandise you recently looked at is because a lot of websites use the same advertising network and they all see the same cookies stored on your computer.

    Duplo Business Card Cutter - Module repairs?

    A. Are you running in normal mode or turbo mode? B. What job template are you cutting? #01, #02, etc.? C. When you say "third column" do you mean the one closest to the control panel or furthest? D. 12 blades? I believe there is only one upper blade and the lower surface it cuts against. The...

    Printing high quality books

    We have a Xerox 700, 770, and 2100. All are the same quality in my opinion, but colors vary between the machines even after calibration. The 2100's registration is tight, though. Both front-to-back and sheet-to-sheet. After I setup the alignment profile to the paper, I put the proof under an...

    Worst job that ever crossed your screen.

    Haha. We do offset and digital printing. We still say "camera-ready" for all approved/ready-to-print artwork.

    Worst job that ever crossed your screen.

    Formax FD 120 or Duplo CC288 - Business Card Slitters/cutter - advice required

    It depends on how many business cards you handle. We have a CC-330 and I do about 20 x 500 cards a day. The biggest upside is that it frees up our hydraulic cutter for other things. If we had to use the hydraulic cutter to cut business cards, the blade would need to be sharpened more often...

    How much toner/consumables do you keep on hand?

    That's basically my main concern -- huge runs that eat up toner. I finished 4000 books two weeks ago. The job was short notice with a quick turnaround. I went through 18 boxes of toner in two days. If I didn't stockpile, one rush job could do me in.

    How much toner/consumables do you keep on hand?

    New guy here. I work at a small print shop and I have been printing digital for nine months. I have a Xerox 700, 770 and 4127. I basically keep as much supplies as will fit on the small shelf in my workstation -- eight of each CMYK and mono toner, spare fusers, plenty of drums, etc. So...
