I was impressed with Horizon's creaser folder at Printing United last year for both build quality, and support. Cost is 40k USD give or take https://www.sdmc.com/product_stand/crf-362-creaserfolder/

Idea 1 desktop label printer and cutter Memjet or toner based label printing. This company's offerings might be a starting point, but check forums for issues with their products and memjet in general https://afinialabel.com/ Another idea would to print the stickers on your toner press and cut...

Aqueous sticker media and ink are probably more expensive than ecosolvent.

The Ricoh Taskalfa was around 200k USD a couple of years ago. I think the nearest inkjet competitor to this machine is the Canon IX1700, which I'm guessing will be closer to 500k USD, but it can prime and print on coated media and has a 14" paper path. I don't believe Canon has started shipping...

Interesting that Xerox is using Ricoh's feed and finishing hardware. https://www.ricoh-usa.com/en/products/pd/equipment/commercial-and-industrial-printing/sheet-fed/kyocera-taskalfa-pro-15000c-color-sheet-fed-inkjet-production-printer A couple of questions I would have a for a Xerox rep -What...

I heard from a printshop in California that had 3x C10000VPs and he said they are great for image quality and super reliable. Being in a larger population area probably helps because there will be more production technicians with more experience though. Don't assume that the B6000 is compatible...

spielassociates.com if someone is looking for an alternative. The equipment from both companies looks solid, but is well into the 5 figures.

Will Jobflow handle rotation, adding bleed, and sizing?

I'm definitely checking out the iX1700

I see a lot of posts in various forums for pre-press, designers, installers, etc. You would stand out from the crowd with a website that includes a work portfolio, software you are proficient with, and testimonials. It would also be good to state what country and timezone you are in.

are those prices for 8.5x11 or 13x19?

Given the cost of equipment, materials, organizational impact, and lead/supervisory responsibilities that job should be $70k/year or more. At the advertised pay level I'd expect struggle to find qualified applicants and a steady drain of employees to nearby private sector employers. That being...

Boggs Equipment has a used Challenge 305 for sale. I'd call about pricing and see if they'd take your broken unit to refurbish and sell. Alternately, you see if you can find someone who is handy with electrical troubleshooting to check fuses and other low hanging fruit issues to see if your unit...

Fuji has an updated Versant 4100, EC2100, that has a 5th color station and I think uses Iridesse toner. Xerox may be shipping it with their plastic like they do the rest of their re-badged Fuji machines.

The 55000 does not appear to be shipping, since there are no press releases or videos about it being in use by a real customer. Also, Fiery doesn't have a RIP listed for it. This article has some info including a suggested price of 500k and a drying unit that requires 50amps of 3 phase power...

I know a guy who got a Xerox light production press for the same click rate he had 5 years ago. Last I shopped in 2023, my click rates quoted did not include toner, only maintenance. I think the click rate depends on how hungry the sales people are and the level of machine. .04 seems reasonable...

Enfocus Switch is the workflow automation version of Pitstop.

Xerox's stock has gone from $18/share in to $4/share in 1.5 years. I'd be sketched out about longterm Xerox commitments on that basis, but you could use that figure as a negotiating tool.

Ricoh has been selling the Kyocera Taskalpha for a while with the differentiator being Ricoh feed and finishing accessories. It goes for around $200k USD give or take. A limiting factor is that it only prints on uncoated or inkjet coated paper. If if Xerox adds pre-treat unit like they have in...
