I have issues with my 280 but there hasn’t been anything that couldn’t be resolved in a day or maybe two. I’m overall happy with the performance with the exception of the 2nd BTR failure when running coated stock, it’s much worse that it ever was on the 80 I had. The 280 has improvements for...

The OP wasn’t specific about the paper that was going to be used, but did say it was fairly thick high quality. When a customer says something like this, I normally skip using 80lb/118gsm coated text and go with 100lb/148gsm coated text. It may be possible to run a 64 page booklet on 148gsm...

You may want to check with Stocklayouts. If you don't see the licensing that you're looking for, get in touch with them to ask. This was a while back but I did receive information from them for a license to use for print sellers.

I wouldn’t put that job on my Versant 280, I’d send the job out. The 80,000 is a recommended monthly volume and it’s based on a 8½x11 or A4 sheet. If I understand correctly, you’d be running 3,000 64 page A4 size booklets a month. That would be 96,000 clicks just to print your 3,000 booklets...

I’m sure there’s someone out there that may be interested but these presses aren’t worth much anymore unless they’re in pristine condition. I had two 9810’s with T-heads about 4 years ago and Boggs was going to give me $1,200 for both. I got busy and didn’t get back to them, then a year later...

I have some old customers that are 30 days and some that are 15 days. The rest are check or credit on pickup or payment prior to shipping. Except for a few good customers, large orders are now 50% down and if I’m sending the job out it’s full payment up front, just like I paid. I have no problem...

If the names and addresses weren’t messed up by the agent, then I would guess the 18pt return address was picked up when scanned. On a postcard size mailing, I would try to keep the return as far to the top as possible and either 9pt or 10pt. The template I send my customers has the lower right...

If your mailings are small and you want to use IMB you may want to check out the IMsb Intelligent Mail small business tool, it's free to use on USPS site for smaller mailings. The tool is available when you're logged into the Customer Gateway

I have used BM-Win Plus for years. It won’t help you with your periodicals but for the cost, it will certainly get you through the political season without downtime. Most of my mailings are under 5,000 pieces but I have done the occasional 50,000 postcards and it had no problems. No built-in...

There is something you may want to try, it may or may not help. Your folder doesn’t have gap sets to separate the rollers for different stock thickness. I have an old friction folder that I use for heavier stock and 8 page newsletters that get folded. The exit rollers need to have a bit more gap...

It’s not the type of folder to use for heavy cardstock. You’re doing good if you can successfully fold 80lb cover. Best to look at a knife folder if you do a lot of heavy cardstock folding. If it’s a half-fold you could try using the last fold plate instead of the first (top fold plate), doubt...

This is exactly the same way I do these on my 618. Larger quantities and I skip the Duplo and guillotine then crease on a Rollem that has Tri-Creasers.

Look around for a used EBA. The one I have isn't programmable (didn't have the money back then) it has power back gauge and digital readout. Most people want a programmable now, so you should be able to get a good price for a nice used one as a backup.

You can put just about anything together with 80/20 T-Slot. I've used it for several different projects around the shop.

I don’t run 400gsm, I top out at 350gsm. Anything higher and I would just send the job out to one of the big trade printers. Taking 30 minutes to register a small job just isn’t worth it for me, at least not since I’ve been fortunate enough to have plenty of work. This is what I would try for...

As already mentioned, calling service back would be your best option. It would also be a good idea to read through the 9200/9210 manual. You can skip ahead and read about process speed setting. Write down the old settings before you make changes or take a picture of the screen. You also have a...

I like to place the cup up to my mouth and tip the bottom of the cup up. It's worked well for me for decades without the use of a straw. When I'm 90 years old I want a set of crazy straws.

I think I know what you mean but I’m not positive if you mean that the tower computer is where command workstation is loaded or if you mean the tower computer is a rip. If the tower computer is where you have command workstation, then both rips (printers) can be setup to print from that same...

The muted black makes it sound like the issue could be whether the machine was calibrated using all the steps that Canon requires. I don’t mean calibration from Fiery calibration, but the actual machine color calibration that is required. There’s also a calibration for stock weight categories...

I could never get the hot roll lamination to adhere to vinyl very good. I replaced the hot roll laminate with adhesive backed laminate and problem solved. Depending on how many sheets you need to laminate, you could use a cold roll laminator or buy another hot roll laminator and keep the heat...
