Am I correct in thinking duplicator contracts are different to dry toner presses in that you don't pay a click charge per se? Have you got a contract for a fixed annual/monthly fee that covers parts & maintenance only? Just if you have, I'm surprised they'll let you put non-OEM consumables in...

What does it say about consumables in your leasing/maintenance agreement? Are you obligated to purchase OEM inks from your current supplier?

Good to hear :) I can't think of a good reason for >File >Print even being an InDesign menu option, IMO it can lead new users down the wrong path

Digressing from the topic but this jumped off the page. Are you using >File>Print from within InDesign as opposed to >File>Export to make a PDF for your RIP?

@PrintKing You are replying to a post that's over FIFTEEN YEARS OLD from a member who appeared and posted just the once. They probably don't even own the machine any longer! If you're going to spam the forum trying to flog stuff, at least do what the xerox guy does and pounce on current...

The only tangible difference in A vs B is fulfilment to multiple locations versus delivery to one. The price of the goods shouldn't change IMO, as you'll be charging separately for fulfilment. We wouldn't charge extra for invoicing separate sites if we had to do it that way - once the SKU codes...

We send an excel sheet showing the breakdown by cost centre

Where billing is to 50 separate locations, are these 50 invoices to different cost centres for the same company, but will be settled by a single centralised finance department? Or are the 50 locations responsible for their own accounts payable? This is really the key point as if anything is...

Challenge cutters seem to be the popular choice for small format shops your side of the pond. Over here, Ideal and EBA take that place, with Polar being a step up. The stack cutter will likely become the most used piece of equipment in your shop and as indicated above, it's not something to...

The trays beneath the engine are only good for thin substrates, because of the curvature of the paper path. On our C4080, we keep uncoated 80GSM A4 in Tray 1 and uncoated 100GSM A3 in Tray 2 and these trays/sizes are very little used. All our volume stocks (SRA3) go in the three trays on the...

@libordeath.com having briefly looked at your website to get a flavour of what you are about, I guess what you'd like to hear first from said owners / CEOs, is their day rate for consulting services?

@EricFTC I would avoid the KM C6500, that model is over fifteen years old, it was KM's first venture into digital production printing and will be problematic in terms of sourcing parts and consumables as it has not been supported by KM for years now (generally machines are supported for 7 years...

Face Trim Only We do up to 64 pages uncoated 80GSM with 160GSM cover, or 48 pages 135GSM digital silk I think it's specced up to 80 pages of 80GSM

Indeed... and they are typically very cheap compared to their offline cousins, illustrating the point regarding poor residual value of inline finishing equipment once the engine is scrapped. However it's not all so simple using them as an offline machine - here's a link to a recent discussion...

+1 for the DBM150. Ours is also hand feed, but this is no big deal and the process gives the added benefit that you are QC checking the front cover of every booklet fed. The icing on the cake for us was adding a Morgana/Plockmatic SQ104 square fold unit on the end, to replace where the exit...

85 cents per 3' banner sheet - seems very fair to me and loads cheaper than anyone without dry toner banner capability will be quoting. Additionally, whilst there will be plenty of small format digital shops that can produce this length on their digital press, many won't have a cutter wide...

That's a good deal, especially for a machine you've owned from new and has such low mileage. Ensure the click tariff offered going forward is palatable. If it isn't, you may be able to get a dealer to take it on, although that would likely add a couple of thousand to the overall cost, since a...

Exactly, and being tied to the engine these inline modules are effectively worthless when the engine reaches the end of life. Whereas the same money invested in decent offline kit (Duplo, Horizon, Morgana, etc.) will leave you a machine with great resale value in five years time, or will still...

Hello Soft_Spam - I've noticed your most recent three posts follow the same guise as your other 18 contributions to the forum do, in that they are blatant free advertising for your company. I guess I'm not the only forum member who finds this sort of thing quite irritating, particularly when...

Look at the Kernow Coatings range, available through Premier Paper and Antalis.
