The guide says the drum is 3.7 inches. Unless there's a roller within the drum unit that is 1.5 and transferring onto the drum.

I have a tiny spot repeating every 1.5 inches. Too close for drum. Ideas?

Go with Ricoh. Everything but the engine is theirs anyway.

Have you considered a used Astro/Colordyne/Rena/iJetColor inkjet printer to handle the covers? 1600 dpi full-color (2 black tanks). Then get the toner machine that best serves your other needs. You have the added benefit of doing full color envelopes, which seems it would fit well with your...

What are the solid ink printers that you have been using? What size are the thermo covers you are running?

Looks like Varioprint has a temp range of 180-220. Might be worth a look. Ask what the Xerox temp is as well.

Maybe work backwards. Who printed your thermo? Can you contact them and find out what brand/type of thermo powder they used? Then find out what the melt point is for that product. Now you know where the fuser temp needs to be below and can find what, if any, machines can operate in that range...

I WANT ONE!

Framemaker is Adobe. Ventura had book publishing features you could only get in Framemaker. It was good bang for the buck.

That goes to what I said above. Your cost to bind book 1 is the same as book 1000. Technically your charge per book should be the same as well. Add in the charges to cover warmup and setup and the run discounts will happen naturally as those fees are applied across different quantities. If you...

True, clicks and paper don't change, so costs are flat for the run itself. But we do have set-up charges, which includes handling time before pushing the button, and possibly dialing in a Pantone color match. We also have set-ups or minimums for bindery operations, etc. When you factor that into...

What are you currently trimming with?

Have you looked closely at your machine? I think the MBM we had could easily handle a second set of heads and anvils.

My first thought was developer.

We did small booklets 2-up, folded to 4.25x11 and then trimmed them out. Depending on your machine, you can set the spread to hit the center of each booklet with 1 staple, or spread to hit 1 position with 1 staple on each book and add the second staple after trimming them out. I know that one...

That may be the Suzhou Soonyee Packing Machinery Co., Ltd. in Jiangsu, China. Their current machine models are all SYA-####.
