    Business Opportunity

    I am in the early stages of possibly selling my business. I know I can go to a business broker and list it with them, but I feel it has more value to a buyer who is already in the printing industry. I have not priced it yet or come up with any details for a sale. I just wanted to run this by you...

    iJetColor 1175P: Anytime there is stoppage. Jam or just pause, the counter resets to 0

    Check the small screen, there is also a count there which shows how many was printed on the last job. So you won't be able to just hit the pause/print button again but you will be able to manually put in the amount you need to do to finish the job. This is on the most updated firmware, so if you...

    Ijet color 1175

    Consumables are reasonable compared to Memjet printers. Ink is about $160 a color and it takes 4 cartridges but black is a double cartridge. Replacement printheads is the costly item but we haven’t had to do that yet with almost 2 million envelopes on the original print head. We run jobs from...

    Ijet color 1175

    I do like the Ijet. We originally were running envelopes on small offset presses with envelope feeders. Then added a Mach 5 from Neopost and then added a Mach 6. The Ijet runs circles around these machines. Since adding the Ijet, we stopped using all of the previous machines and run all...

    Envelope Printer Experiences

    Thanks Craig for your replies. Looks like we are going to make the purchase but had one more question for you. They want to sell us a service plan for $2500 a year. Did you purchase the plan? Is it necessary? Any other thought on this?

    Envelope Printer Experiences

    I am deciding on upgrading to 1175P from Memjets. Print head clogging and landscape feeding is our main gripes. So if those issues are resolved on the 1175P, we just may pull the trigger. Do you have any experience using the memjets before purchasing the 1175P? If so, did you have issues trying...

    Best envelope printer?

    iJet1175 Pro sounds like a superior machine, what is the cost difference between the iJet1175 and the NXT?

    Memjet Ink

    I have Memjet envelope printers sold by Quadient. I know for a fact that Formax, I Jet Color and other Astro made machines all use the same ink and print head. Problem, the prices are very comparable. I also tried a memjet ink tank made for a label printer and it did not work, maybe just a bad...

    Envelope Printer Experiences

    I am in So Cal, so that could be part of the issue. It has been raining here for the last week, I'll ask my staff if they saw an improvement during this period of higher humidity. Will also check out the capping station. Thanks for your input.

    Envelope Printer Experiences

    I too have been struggling with the Mach 6 print head clogging issue. Cannot keep it clean and have to manually clean the print head. If someone has had success with this machine, I wish they would tell me the secret!

    Envelope Suppliers

    We are a California envelope print/mail company looking to relocate to another state. The location is open but would need to be within 100 miles of an envelope stock house or manufacture with good pricing. So our plan is to look to find Envelope Stock Houses around the country to help make a...

    Envelope Printing

    I currently have a Mach 5 and am considering a Mach 6 for running #10s in landscape mode. Are you printing them in landscape and if so, how well does the Mach 6 feed them?

    Impressia #10 envelope registration

    It is funny to see digital presses starting to act like old offset duplicator presses. I remember our Multi 1250's with paper clips and rubber bands to help with feeding and other issues.

    Mach 5 HJ950c Service Menu

    This is correct. The Mach 5 will be higher on one side than the other. It will not be level. I have many of these machines in use and all of them are at a tilt. This is the way the techs set them up from the beginning.

    Mach 5 Margin Problem

    The random ink smudges are happening from the envelope hitting the ink head. I remember when we got our first Mach 5 it did this a lot and they added some guide to help keep the envelopes flat through the printing area. Also envelopes that are warped will do this too. We have found that heating...

    Air Purifier

    We just moved from a warehouse building to a shop with drop ceilings and have noticed more of a smell from the press room clean up solvents. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for an air purifier that would help to eliminate the smell.

    Inkjet Envelope Printers vs Oki Envelope Printers

    I have been using a Memjet (Rena Mach 5) printer for almost two years now. I would have to question the cost of 1 cent for a full coverage 6-3/4 envelope, probably closer to 5-6 cents ea. Anyway the quality issues do not go away. White steaks, black marks and some of the other issues stated...

    Mach 5 vs Xante

    I have a Mach 5 and I can tell you it has potential. It is easy to use and feeds pretty good. Color matching is near impossible and it does have it's issues with the heads clogging causing constant cleaning throughout the print run. Our machine has been down quite a bit too. So it is not the...
