I would think for that volume and no budget, a old used friction feed rosback would be perfect. With some baby sitting you can keep from scratching, and I bet you could get one for $500...

And who is the arbiter of who is stupid and who is not... you? I am ready to be educated show us some data that you can shave even 5 sheets off of a makeready with you "idea", it has been my experience that the people whom resort to calling others ignorant or stupid for not listening to their...

I have had two major press manufactures visit my humble little shop, engineers took stop watch data for make readies and took measurements of roller sizes and config on a competitors press. The CEO even called for feedback. These are people that work very hard at making the best possible...

Erik... Shit or get off the pot! If you or any of the poor suppressed engineers at MAN had an economically viable idea to make a press even 5 percent faster, cheaper, easier, etc. all the major players would beat a path to your door. I have listened to this crap for 3 years now from you and in...

Sure, make sure you have a solid market, but know that most of the companies that are thriving now started off young and dumb. People will always say it is a bad idea and will never work, but if you have a good product and work hard and sell sell sell, then you will do fine. Print is a dying...

just got a sample in the mail and it had 40-50 white gaps from clogged print head, I was surprised they let that sample out the door. I think everyone wants this technology to work, but memjet needs to turn the corner on the clogging, then I am sure someone with more color expertise could get...

Everything above is correct about the 512, however if you are not running technical 14x20 work and you are doing mostly LH and env, the feeder and ease of setup will make the 3302 more productive and way cheaper

tri-crease will blow out the inside, that is a hard one, you may be able to run a 1/16 strip of just 100% on the inside once folded you will not see the color difference, but if a good die score you may be able to keep the blow out and flaking to a minimum...

Before I became "management", I was the same as you guys; thinking the front office did not do ***** and that management haplessly stumbled through the day overlooking all the things that are broken or could be done differently. This thinking has been around since the industrial revolution...

yes make sure ink density and conductivity are reading correctly. also try a different lot of blankets, I just had a lot that was really crappy, I was getting like 3-5K impressions before adhesion was crap, I would not put all you eggs in the humidity basket, I would bet that is NOT the problem...

check the little gasket on the spindle (impeller) make sure it is all the way down if it rides up it will air-ate the solution and cause foam...prisco has a de-foamer that works also

Nothing helps moral in a shop then printing something every now and then with some soft-core nudity, watch as people who ordinarily hate each other come together and chuckle and ogle over it. But, if it is hardcore or racist or pro-obama and you don't want to print it, then have the stones to...

with a good digital counting scale and a big enough sample maybe 50 - 100 piece you should be able to accurately count, slight difference in toner will not throw off a big sample...

It uses same head as Mach 5, not sure street price, I have seen a nice looking sample off memjet printers and a really crappy sample with all kinds of gaps from clogged nozzles, not sure what to believe...

was the dot gain the same? maybe the FM test printed fuller???

may not be the answer you are looking for, but you may have to do offline on screen press to get more thickness then online, a press can only put so much thickness on the sheet...

OK, lots of technically accurate suggestions have been made, but I would caution against moving the goal posts to dramatically, if you change blanket, rollers, fount solution, ink sets, RO water, new plates, etc... I can guarantee you will have more problems then you started with because...

yes I like the idea of two, the economies that the vendors talk about having one vendor are largely puffery to sell you more crap...

Would be very very hard, you need a RIP to clip some of the epson gamut to be able to achieve gracol

I have seen gold and silver "gilded" edges done and it looks really good, not really sure how to do it, but I would guess a weight, painted on adhesive and then gold leaf pressed on...
