Shredder, I think it would help if you would restart this and tell us what exactly it is your trying to accomplish. I think a lot of us (or me at least) are confused as to what it is you are wanting to produce and how you currently produce it. Here would be a good starting point of things to...

Neither of what you linked is what I would consider "precise". Theres always going to be a tolerance. But I know on our Challenge 305 and Challenge 20 we can split the cut marks. Doesn't get much more precise than that. Comes down more to your printer being able to print tight tolerances. The...

You can still print 13x19 and then cut to an appropriate size for the Kluge to run. Other than the kluge, your looking at $20k min Like mentioned above. Die cutting isn’t necessarily a simple operation. To do it well, it’s not simple. It’d be like saying why have a huge polar Mohr cutter when...

So I was wondering, who is responsible for making sure that intellectual property isn't violated in printing. Is it the creator or the printer? If I have someone send me a file of say a book that they wanted printed for personal use and they are the creator of the book, but it uses intellectual...

Well if its a delta hang, that will be a die cutter and not a stack drill. cheapest die cutting machine would be a Heidelberg windmill press converted to die cutting. but takes up space and has a learning curve to run. Not easy The other option would be a digital finishing system from say...

What size holes? Are you doing 6 holes in each individual piece, or 1 hole in each? If it’s one hole in each and same spot, guillotine cutter and then a stack paper drill. That’d be your easiest way and least expensive way. Automating for that low of an amount is gonna cost you big upfront money.

Shredder, I hope this doesn’t come out too blunt or harsh, but your simply looking at options that no one else is doing. These are mature products, and if people aren’t using them currently for what your wanting, you can’t reinvent the wheel. If what you are wanting to do isn’t being done by...

You might very well be correct in that. Thats why they say to stock up on the 3 B's. Beans, bullets, and bullion.

Id say no, Looks like you need to clean your sensors and check drums and other areas for damage or dirtiness. Those are streaks, not banding.

I guess my thinking is if your doing that much work outsourcing and your spending that much money, your probably not getting a very good deal on your printing prices. Are they a trade printer? And buying in 25-50k lots seems counterproductive to printing digitally. Unless variable, no digital...

If your printing these in line on 6x9 sheets and finishing in line, I’d like to know what your actual cost per book is. Because I’m betting me and a lot of others on here could beat the price by printing 4 up and finishing off line. My guess is just your clicks and paper run you around $4.75/book?

Somethings off them. I figured it out right off the top of my head and you should be running this on 13x19. You could do the 200 books on just over 11k sheets.

Consumables only run you 2k/year including drums? Quick search showed $1700 for a toner set and 4 drums. Use another toner set and your over 2k. Honestly, you’ve already made up your mind. You asked our opinions and we gave them to you. You’ve came back saying “well this is cheaper” etc each...

My favorite part about mask and the coronavirus is that the people who are all upset about people not wearing a mask and saying they won't get vaccinated are the same ones who will turn around and say "my body, my choice" when asked about abortion. Like ok, you can't have it both ways. You can't...

My favorite is when the CDC issued a warning saying that cloth face masks weren't acceptable to use to block out smoke particles during the wild fires out west. Then people checked and I believe a smoke particle is about 10x larger than the Cover-19 particle. Yes, makes sense

Well I can tell you you’ll have slit more than a few thousands in repairs if you pay per visit. The visit alone could cost you that. If it’s a oddball item it could be a while to diagnose, and then you’ll need to have the part replaced the next day because the tech won’t have it with them. for...

All the time. Very annoying. We always pay on time and they call us before the invoice is even due. I made them pull up our contract one time and read the specifics on billing. When they said payment must be made NET 30 I asked them to count the days from our invoice date. It was like 15 days. I...

They do, but it also comes with a price tag of around $2 million. Hence why I said one that doesn’t cost a fortune.

I’d love to see a B2 digital press that didn’t cost a fortune like the indigo and had a click similar to where they’re currently at. That would make digital way more cost effective in the 2500-5000 booklet market. Every market really, but that’s where I see the biggest gap difference.

Looks like they added an "i" to the name and printed a new brochure and made a new video for the previous models. Nothing really exciting here if you ask me. Ill keep my V3100 that's creeping up on 5 million impressions.
