Let the battle commece:). I know all the usual issues. But lets just assume levels of support are the same. Type of work is the same. Looking at- Colour consistency on longish runs (especially solids) Registration Speed Range of stock. thin to thick Not to worried about finishing options (I...

Is it all really worth the stress?. Yes I know we all like to go the extra mile for our best customers but it should just be a oncer to get them out of a fix. I regularly get these sort of ridiculous requests from punters that I have never done work for before and I just say sorry no!

Hi there. Oldish Duplo DBM120 booklet maker. Is it just me? or does anyone else out there have problems installing new staple rolls. I get there eventually (after wasting heaps of staples pulling them through ) My staple heads are well used. worth purchasing new heads?. (I see them on eBay)...

Hi Nicholas Thanks for the offer, but sorry just a little bit far away. Auckland New Zealand:-) All sorted now.

Wow! that is one serious peace of kit.

Hi Josh. Wow! I'm surprised you can get these through a Morgana. I've got a Morgan here but its only the creaser. Look forward to seeing you new set up (location) in the near future. ta Simon

Hi Michael Yea at the back of my mind I think I remember it was called crash folding. Thanks for the advice. ta Simon

Hi Tom Thanks for the info. My Duplo won't do a three-panel fold. (Its a DBM-120 booklet maker rather than a folder). It looks like I'll need to buy some more old machinery (my wife will be over the moon:-) Photos attached.

Thanks for getting back to me. This is just a regular saddle stitched booklet. (Staples are on the spine as per normal). I'll attach some photos in the thread.

Hi there. A4 for my American friends is 210mm x297mm. Folded to 210mm x 99mm. To fit into a standard DLE envelope. Saddle stitched on the long edge. Normally 80gsm to 120gsm and 8 to 12pages. (self cover) Not that it makes any difference to my problem but they are finished offline on my...

Thanks Toby. I did not realize the 745 was launched before the 646. I really have my heart set on a 618. Can't justify the ROI on a brand new one. Eventually will find a good used one. (Not from the states, your electrical connections are different).

Hi Guys. Just decided to pick up this thread again. Thanks for the feedback so far. I have decided to throw the DC- 745 into the mix. I see a few of these coming up on the market. How does this machine compare (spec wise) to the 618 and 646. Is the 745 older or newer than the 646?. I realize its...

Hi Josh Good to see you're still alive and kicking. What did you do regarding upgrading your Irides? (or is it still in the pipeline?) Yep if a good customer just giving them to them is not a bad idea. Unfortunately it seems to happen more often than I would like.

Staff member mis-reads job bag. Prints x1000. (should have been x500 as the job was 2up) Do you- 1/Throw x 500 in the bin! and take a long walk before you do/say something you will regret. 2/Put x 500 on the shelf ( in the very remote chance that the customer will order again with no changes...

thanks Jacob. All good information. Yes if the price difference is not huge I would tend to go for a new 618. The only thing I know is it will be heaps more expensive in this part of the world (everything is). thanks Simon

Hi there, tossing up between these two. 646. on the + side The 646 is an older machine (cheaper) + according to the spec sheet is a little faster. The 618 is hard to get hold of second hand ( I can't afford a new one and even if I could the ROI does not really add up). 618. on the + side...

Thanks Cassie. This is great info. ta Simon

Hi there Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, we have tried the adobe acrobat preflight with mirroring and it has worked, however there seems to be unusual white boxes at the ends of each corner (screen shot attached) bleed works perfectly but if anyone knows how to remove the white boxes...

Hi Cassie. Very helpful thanks. Yes if you can email me the Photoshop script it would me fab. [email protected]. thanks heaps. I'll purchase pitstop pro as a last resort. About to head into a recession here and might not be around in 6months:-( ta Simon

Thanks Guys. Look like I might need to invest in "Pitstop" I do have an old version here. Came pre installed on my Fiery server when I purchased my V2100 many years ago. Not sure If I can use this version to upgrade?. I realise its a plug in for adobe acrobat, so Im guessing if there is two...
