A year ago I had no issues with MM speed. When they switched from BDE to TDBF in June, the bottom fell out. We are using a WD 570 which is slower, but less likely to hit thermal throttling.

Everyone had very poor performance after the switch. It has greatly improved over several updates, but nowhere near the performance before the switch. I'm going to talk to some other local shops to see if they have any tricks.

Already thought of that, but no voip either. We have a wireless pbx. Performance on other tasks and software is usually 850 Mbps or better from that server. BCC isn't that helpful. From what I can tell, they picked a replacement engine that was never designed to handle data of that scale. It has...

Has anyone else been having speed issues with MM since the database engine switch? We have optimized everything and it just hits brick walls on data transfer. It's not the network. The network achieves 850+ Mbps with no problem. MM seems to hit a wall at about 53 Mbps on many read situations...

Yes, gets slit to 8.5 on the folder. We have been converting customers from 8.5x14 to 8.5x13 wherever possible. 14 inch is such an inefficient sheet for digital. The machine speed is only 10 sheets slower for 17 inch and you get 2-out. So 71ppm vs 122ppm 2-up and slit. We found a print partner...

Thanks for this.

I'm not sure what to think of this one. It seems close to my suggestion of using the IMb and leaving all the other info off except for number and suite. On the "Special Code" I see the delivery point and apartment number. Not sure what the 99 is. Possibly derived from the +4 to identify the...

100% delivery. Of course, all the recipients were postal employee home addresses throughout the country.

Back when the IMb was being implemented, I did some digital printing for the USPS test mailings before launch. The card had a return address, G-10 permit, and an IMb. That's it. It mailed from Merrifield, VA and was targeting all states. It had 100% success. I don't know how the carrier knew...

Thanks! What kind of lead time did it require? I also wonder if that is still an option in the current paper climate.

Does anyone have a good source for 50k to 100k 13x17 60# with a single perf? Need it for a large variable job.

I understand what you are saying, but what you suggest already happens with retail first class mail. The pieces gets scanned and if there is a change of address on record the USPS sends it where it needs to go. In the case of presorted mail, we are getting the discounts to sort the mail so the...

We explain that the poor condition of the materials is not our fault. We can make it work, but it will require extra labor charges to work through it. OR they can go back to the supplier that provided the bad material to make it right. They usually opt for us to do it and try to keep the drop...

We make one adju$tment that tends to correct issues on the next job.

LOL. We never did while you wait for offset, but we did do 1 hour turnaround. Most jobs were in by 11, out by 4. Good, Cheap, Fast. Pick 2.

So, I assume you don't have InDesign then.

We always note on work orders and invoices the supplier of each piece. It's either us, our trade partners, or the end client. Very rarely do we have an issue with material supplied by our trade partners. End client supplied material is often problematic. This is especially true with envelopes...

We have been evaluating machines also. The 1175 was our favorite hardware, but we are becoming less than confident in iJet as a company. At this price point of the 1175, the concept of good enough doesn't fly. There have been other issues of product support noted in these forum that were...

I questioned because my kit is very good. No hint of lines anywhere. It also looked like more than lines in your image. Lower left appeared to be more like banding, and there appeared to be edge artifacts like it was a low resolution image, so I was thinking that whoever ran the sample had...

I suspect it is the file, not the printer. That file has issues. Get a sample from a high quality file. Did that come like that in the sample kit from iJet?
