We just purchased a used shrink-wrap machine, a Baby Pack 3246-N. We are trying to find parts and get a recommendation on shrink wrap for this machine. Any thoughts?

thanks to everyone for your help. The websites I mentioned above say it can be printed digitally, we run a Xerox 700. Does anyone have experience running these digital?

Which seeded stock did you use? We found a brand called Symphony 3 distributed by OOTS.

We received a request from a customer to print a card (either on our Xerox 700 or on our AB Dick press) on seeded paper. There seem to be several venders on the web: customearthpromos, botanical paper works, flowerseedpaper, etc.. Has anyone had any luck with this type of paper? Thanks.

We run a small offset and digital shop in Pennsylvania (1500 sq. ft.) and I am curious about the best Air Purification system/solution on the market. Just trying to eliminate the chemicals in the air for the obvious health AND smell reasons. The only option I see in the magazines is from...

Thanks for the help guys, we are digging through the manual right now. Looks like it will be trial and error with testing plates on press. Other thoughts on our DPM 2340- which is from 1999/2000 with the original Printer RIP. In addition to the calibration they are trying to sell us on...

I am looking for help in calibrating our DPM 2340- our press is an AB Dick QP 25 with a T-head. Our calibration settings were wiped out and went back to the default settings. Presstek wants about $1000 to do the calibration with a densitometer. Any thoughts?

We are in the process of finding a used Printmaster QM 46-2 to replace our AB Dick QP 25. The used ones that I have found range from 2001-2005. Is there anything I need to watch out for about this press? And are there any tips for registration without the register board? One of the benefits...

Due to cost I assume we will land on Poly, unless one of the below metal options is really affordable.

CTP choices CTP choices We are currently running a DPM 2340 and QP 25 with a T-head (our plan is to replace the QP25 with a used Printmaster). The DPM was installed in 1999 and still has the original Printers RIP. We considered replacing the RIP for about $5000 but because of the mechanical...

It sounds like I need to confirm which configuration of the QM is readily available- are there some I should avoid? We do a mostly letterhead/BC/envelopes/NCR on the press, but are pushing more into high quality 1-2-3 color work. Do any of these presses struggle with envelopes? Since this...

We currently have a ABDick QP25 with a T-head but are looking to upgrade our press. Our poly plates are made on a DPM 2340- FYI. There are three main options that we are interested in to date, but we are open to suggestions. option #1- Ryobi/AbDick 3302 / option #2- QuickMaster/ option #3-...

Thanks to all for your help, great responses as always.

I guess PIA is the way to go, are you a member? What type of equipment to you guys have?

I think that some of the information that they give you for joining (various pricing studies, white papers) should help offset the cost of membership in the first year. The other reason to join is the peer networks, I would like to learn better business practices from people in a...

I just purchased a small printing company three months ago and we are looking to join a printing association. So which one? We have the following equipment: DPM 2340/AB Dick 1-color with a T-head/mix of scoring, stitching, folding, and misc. bindery/Canon IR 7095/Xerox 700 I assumed that the...

We have a DPM 2340 and are having issues with scratches on our plates. The DPM has been torn apart several times in the last 3 months but there are still a few scratches that will not go away. We have been able to eliminate all but 2 scatches, but we are against the wall. The scratches are...

We just signed for the Xerox 700 with the Creo but did not get that advanced tools package. The machine is not here yet so I cannot speak to the quality day-to-day. Just curious, what did they quote you on the machine? The only thing in the contract that bugged me was the maintenance increase...

Thank you to all that responded. After discussing things with a few local and regional peers (and reading the above posts) we decided on the lower rate and we will hold our breath on the increases. After running the numbers based a 5% per year increase over 5 years, the difference between the...

I am getting ready to sign a contract for a Xerox 700. Some friends have recommended a 30 day trial as part of the agreement to make sure the machine does what they say. My xerox rep has said it is covered in the total satisfaction guarantee + it would push the sale to next year. I believe...
