Hey guys, we picked up a challenge 305 With micro it jr on the cheap. Our new shop doesn’t have 3 phase power, so we are out of luck using it unless we go with a VFD or Phase converter. I like the idea of just swapping motors out. Price will be the same or a little cheaper even. My main question...

I wouldn’t put much stock into the “duty cycle” though. Also remember, duty cycle is single sided 20# 8.5x11. Divide the duty cycle by 4, then divide by 2 and that’s probably what you should be maxing them out a month at

Are government RFP's really that bad and a 0 sum game? Ive never really looked into them.

Your generous saying that they'll make it 1MIL even if you don't care about quality and only run 70gsm lol. But really, you'll never get that type of life out of those things. If its a belt fuser, your going to have to replace belts. We probably shred one every 200k or so. Gears will go out...

Did you pull the trigger on the laminator? Pretty sure Im gonna pull the trigger on 2 3220's for a pretty good price.

I’ve been eyeing a 3220 for a while. I’m probably going to pull the trigger on it. It looks like an expensive way to get into laminating. I feel like we’re missing out on some of our bids because we either have to outsource cover coatings or convince them to go with another option. As far as...

If mask are so effective in cutting the transmission of the disease, why don't we mandate them during flu season every year? While the flu is less deadly, are the deaths that do occur from the flu less worthy of our efforts than people who die from Covid? Also, why weren't mask mandated in...

If you do enough EDDM, something like this would probably be the best way to handle the counting. Not necessarily this model, but it will point you in the right direction. https://www.amazon.com/My-Weigh-CTS-6000-Digital-Counting/dp/B004C3B4C4

You might want to approach your landlord with a little more humility and politeness or he's liable to kick you to the curb. I know if any of my tenants came and told me what I needed to do, id tell them what they needed to do, which would be buy some boxes and start packing. You mentioned 2...

You can also get Quark Pro 2018 from the Mac App Store for $399. And I believe by it being on the App Store, you can use it on up to 6 different computers at once. Even though Quark doesn't like that. But Affinity does seem pretty nice. Messed around with some of the Beta versions. As far as...

thanks for the reply guys. We are meeting the move update requirements by just using “or current resident”. They were just a political postcard so not that big of a deal. Basically after talking with the local postal clerk, they seem to be pretty lax? At least he made it seem like it. I was...

The biggest question going to be asked is how much are you going to be using the cutter? Cutting all day everyday? Or not as frequent?

Wasn't sure which forum to put this in, so hopefully it gets seen here. Im getting into mailings, and had a CSR at Postage Saver tell me that as long as the correct letters are in the tray, it doesn't matter what order they are in, as long as they're in there. Is this correct? I couldn't find...

I hooked it up myself. Ive done all the electrical work here so far. Although I will admit, the VFD had me a little baffled with all the settings and different things it could do. How loud is your rotary phase converter? Ive heard they're anywhere from noisy and annoying to no one even notices.

Turns out it was my own inexperience of mailings that led me to think something was wrong. Got ahold of the software owner and he informed me that it was actually doing it correctly. I only had 1 zip in the mailing (political in small town so makes sense) so it didn't need to actually sort...

thanks for the reply but I don’t think that’s it. I sorted the list A-Z and Z-A and both times nothing was changed after I ran it through postage saver

Hey guys, got a question for ya. We use postage saved to sort our mailing list as we don’t usually do too many mailings. we did a mailing last week and everything sorted just fine. I sorted one today, and after it sorted it, everything in the list stayed in alphabetical order. Didn’t know if...

Hey guys, we moved into a new shop not too long ago. The only 3 phase item we have is a Challenge 305 cutter. Our old place had 3 phase, but our new place doesn't. I ordered both a VFD and Static Phase Converter to run the machine. I couldn't get either one to operate it properly. Was I doing it...

Maybe try to push them to perfect binding?

I’d be complaining to KM directly that their dealer isn’t supplying enough supplies to run. And try to explain to the dealer that if you run out of toner, your not putting clicks on the machine which means they aren’t making money. That might get you a few more sets. i don’t know about other...
