    Skew on Morgana Docufold Pro

    Just thought it worth mentioning, I've just ran a few sheets through my Duplo DC-445 creaser and they've creased 100% square. I've also just measured the backstop of the guillotine all the way across and that is straight (I did have my doubts haha). So, it's something with the Morgana. I've...

    Skew on Morgana Docufold Pro

    Hey. Thanks for the input. I've checked the paper and it's definitely cut square. I've even tried with uncut paper straight out of the packet and it's still skewed. What I think you're mistaking for cracking is something I've only just spotted but it's on the opening edge of the leaflet, not...

    Skew on Morgana Docufold Pro

    I swear, finishing equipment and me really don't get on! haha. I've recently purchased a used Morgana Docufold Pro (current model with the colour touchscreen). A great piece of kit by the looks of it. However, whenever I try to fold anything, the results are really inconsistent. Probably one...

    Duplo DC-445 350gsm?

    Just had another look at the Duplo and despite the manual mentioning the double sheet detection, there doesn’t appear to be that option on this one so I don’t know if it’s an older model :(

    Duplo DC-445 350gsm?

    So I posted a couple of weeks ago about how I managed to kill my Morgana creaser. I replaced it with a used Duplo DC-445 as all the specs I’ve found say it should handle 350gsm card. I’ve gone to use it for the first time today with 350gsm card and 99% of the sheets jam in the feed roller. It...

    Morgana Autocreaser 'Crunch' message

    Just an update, having had zero joy getting this working I ended up ordering a used Duplo DC-445. It's not in the best condition but it was a good buy I feel. When the company delivered the Duplo, they had a quick look at the Morgana for me and determined that there's an issue with the...

    Morgana Autocreaser 'Crunch' message

    Thanks. Yeah I (think) I checked that but will check again. I think while we work on fixing this we might go and buy a used Duplo DC-445 we've seen. Don't like throwing money away but need to get on with earning money haha.

    Morgana Autocreaser 'Crunch' message

    Thanks @Shawnd, I did check elsewhere (currently covers are off), and the only rust is the 3 rods (two that have the feeding wheels and one behind it). They do seem to take some effort to move but I assume that's just the natural resistance of the gears. Other than that, they seem to be moving...

    Morgana Autocreaser 'Crunch' message

    I wonder if you knowledgeable lot can help. I've got a Morgana Autocreaser (the old style where the red screen is by the buttons). It's been in stored in a shipping container for the past 12 months (stupidly) and some of the rods inside have rusted (which is a separate issue). I've bought it...

    Purchasing Printing Business (digital only)

    I personally wouldn’t bother. Unless his website gets a good amount of traffic (which can be proven), there’s not much else of value if you’re not planning to run the business from his location. Customers are fickle sometimes. A lot of customers stick with a company because of the person they...

    How much to buy title after lease?

    Thanks both. The lease agreement specifies it’s for 5 years (60 months). We got the machine in August 2018 so have 18 months remaining. The lease company gave us a settlement figure of £8k and as we’ve got the cash available I’d like to pay it off if we can. @Ynot_UK definitley. The machine is...

    How much to buy title after lease?

    Thanks for the replies. The lease I have is with a third party finance company and I don't appear to have any form of agreement with Konica Minolta apart from the service agreement. I have tried reaching out to both our sales rep at Konica and the credit control contact but neither have...

    How much to buy title after lease?

    I know this is a bit of a daft question, especially given it will largely depend on the country I'm in and so on, but I am coming to the end of the lease on my Konica C3070 and I would like to buy out the remainder of the lease. The lease company have advised that the lease does not transfer...

    Xerox square fold trimmer. Any good?

    Bought the printer from a Xerox dealer (used). They’ve acknowledged it was an error and are going to swap the finisher for the correct one, and if I buy the square fold trimmer, they’ll come set it all up for me.

    Xerox square fold trimmer. Any good?

    Thanks. My Xerox has just been delivered and they’ve screwed the spec up so waiting to hear back now as the biggest issue is they’ve delivered an A-FN07 booklet maker and not the pro booklet maker we ordered, so presently cannot attach a square fold trimmer even if I wanted to :(

    Xerox square fold trimmer. Any good?

    Just purchased a Xerox Versant 80 as a second printer (our main machine is a Konica C3070). The Xerox we’ve bought has the pro booklet maker and so am thinking of using that to make booklets when the need arises. I’ve been offered the chance to buy a square fold trimmer to add to the machine and...

    Anyone use Oki Pro machines?

    Just to update the thread, I’ve decided against the Oki for the time being. I might still get one in the future for printing box board, but for the time being, and for what I want a machine for at the moment, I’ve found a decent spec Versant 80 at a good price with a service contract at good...

    Anyone use Oki Pro machines?

    Im in Lancashire. Shoot me a pm with what you have and if possible, would need some samples.

    Anyone use Oki Pro machines?

    Thanks, definitely food for thought. The quote from Intec was £3K for the printer and £2K for the fiery. So, the question is, would I be better off going for a used Xerox J75/V80 for <£5k if I can get one with a fiery?

    Anyone use Oki Pro machines?

    Thanks for the comments on the Oki/Intec. I must admit, I had some samples from Intec and it looked very good. I also got samples on some label media that I sent to Intec and the samples that were printed with the Fiery seemed just as good as the Konica (the label media is compostable so not all...
