We're looking into a GW 8336 SCC to increase efficiency and accuracy in our shop. Currently we use a guillotine and folder/perf/score machine. Often we have small runs of 1,000 or less and it takes more time to set up the folder to perf/score than to run the job. Also, being the end of the year...

Thanks, but you didn't sign with Dex? Curious, neighbor, where are you located?

I was just about to sign a contract with Ricoh for a 7200 and a Quadient Mach 6 ink jet for envelopes when the Dex rep walked in offering me a KM C4080 and a FP Edge Pro ink jet for the same price, same click charges. I have spent MONTHS researching before coming to my decision and just like...

Thanks, I'll check out that link too!

Hi! I need your expertise please if you are using an ink jet envelope printer. I am afraid to get the wrong machine, so I have lots of questions. What machine are (or have) you used that you like the best or worse? Can you tell me about anything they claim it can do, but can't, or doesn't do...

True.

Thank you all for your input. We tried adjusting everything on our folder and just couldn't make it work. Does anyone else bring such work home... LOL

80 lb. gloss text 11x17 Long grain, same as always, but one extra sheet of paper on this one I like that idea, unfortunately it won't be so simple - and they are a good client. However, I will let them know it's probably because of the additional sheet so we can all avoid that next time. They...

Hope you folks can tell us where we've gone wrong. We printed and finished 1,000 - 12 page booklets, 8.5" x 11" with 2 staples on our digital press. The client wants them folded down to 5.5" x 8.5". We've done this before but now we can't get them to fold without a bunch of wrinkles in the...

I can see from the samples that it's not the same as spot UV, but it is a nice effect. As I understand you can make multiple passes to build it up also. Can't say I would have use for white toner, based on my current clients and print runs, or neons either. Perhaps the 5th color isn't worth it...

Very helpful, thank you. Does the Impostrip software come with it the machine? Does it require Fiery Imposition?

I have 2 very old offset presses that need to retire, and there are no pressman in this area. Another shop and I have been looking for a long time. That's why we're going all digital now.

Good to know. I will keep that in mind.

I'll check that out. Thanks again!

Thanks! We really don't need a slitter - but what makes the software easier on the 618? It seems to me the 646 can handle a more than the 618.

Thanks, that's a big help! My volume is a bit too high for the 5300. I was just looking into the Ricoh configurations, and frankly some of it is very confusing to me. :) Do you ever print magnetic substrates? I just realized both machines claim you can.

Thanks Shawnd, but what are the other advantages to the e over the s? Do you know the price difference?

Hi Shawnd, Why would you prefer a separate piece of equipment for the booklet maker? I will have 2 Ricohs so I will be able to continue to print.

Thank you! How long have you had your Duplo? Do you perf, crease and slit on it?

Yeah, good to know that info before purchasing! Sorry you didn't. I am looking to get one myself. Do they tell you what that 20% is and why? Can you print on the window itself with that? I understand some ink jet envelope printers claim you can.
