Hi @bcr , if you're aiming to do primarily square or rectangle cards, then I think a dedicated business card slitting system would be the way to go (or a used Challenge or Baum guillotine). You can definitely cut business cards on it, but you'll most likely find that the edges will be a tad...

Hi everyone! Our shop in Fairfax, Virginia is running out of room and looking to part ways with several pieces of equipment. These machines have served their purpose well at our shop and I'm pricing them to mostly get them out of the way for space purposes (also happy to do a package deal). Can...

Hi Bob, this is Chris down at McCabe's Printing. We chat last year about your impressions on the Graphic Whizard creaser-folder. Any chance you'd have time tomorrow (Wednesday) to chat about that GBC Auto Punch? I can give you a call.

I've stuck with Spiel's iGlue for a few years now with great luck. It's not bulletproof, but it gets the job done for most uncoated stock and 80# coated gloss/matte text interiors.

Sooooo, I promised I'd update folks on our shop's c14000 adventures. The great news is that we've made incredibly great progress on making this device reproduce truer to our c6100. And honestly, one week after its repair from Konica-Minolta's higher-ups, it's doing pretty darn good. In case...

Another vote for the Baumfolder 714. Spare parts are easy to come by with them, and general maintenance is a breeze.

I did! Thank you so much for your explanation. I'll definitely be following this information once we get all the internal bugs worked out of the engine next week. :)

We noticed a significant drop in sharpening quality with our local mom-and-pop spot and decided to switch to Industrial Knife Co in Upper Marlboro, MD. Night and day difference in quality, our blades are straight, sharp, and functional again. I believe you can ship them blades to sharpen. I...

Hi Charlie! So KM is actually coming out next week to completely rebuild the inside of our c14000, so I'm withholding judgment until they finish up that portion of the process. I have been able to force out a more true red of the machine with our current configuration, but density as a whole is...

When you refer to a color target, are you referring to the Max Density Initial Adjustment setting from the service side of the machine? It looked like our initial density-max targets were REALLY low and goofy by default, so we did bump them up on the service end which helped give us some of the...

Of important note to @jwheeler 's post: We have a c7100 in our shop that was exhibiting the color shifting issues he described. While there is a firmware update that's supposed to address this color shift, our technicians unfortunately had to roll it back shortly after installing it. Turns out...

I'm currently running a job on a fellow print shop's c14000 and the quality is significantly better than our output in color, density, and resolution. This leads me to believe we have a lemon machine or a bad install. Regarding speed, this 12" x 18" project on 70lb Cougar Text is running at...

Are the page sizes, trim boxes, and/or bleed margins all consistent on each of your pages? Sometimes if there is an irregular page size or funky data thrown into the middle of a PDF, that can throw off how the pages are grouped on your press sheet. QuiteImposing lets you quickly redefine bleed...

QuiteImposing has never let our shop down. Their licensing cost is super fair and it has TONS of features under the hood, including the Step and Repeat function you're looking for.

Man, I really wish I could recommend the c14000, but ours has had nothing but issues since its install last month. I say this as a happy KM user who traded in a c6100 and c4080 for a c14000 and c7100. No matter what our techs tweak or replace and no matter how we calibrate, linearize, or...

I'd check with MyBinding or another supplier to see if you can mail them some press sheets to trial. Have them snap a video of them going through the setup and operation and have them mail the completed samples back to you. If a dealer isn't willing to do that, then you might be able to reach...

We just encountered this same scenario on our Konica-Minolta AccurioPresses. We purchased and service our machines through a Konica-Minolta authorized reseller, and it's safe to say this toner is legitimate. According to their service manager, the "H" ("hybrid") toners come from a different...

We've had the ALM 3220 (its predecessor) for probably a decade or so. I'm not sure what improvements were made on the 3222, but ours has served its purpose despite its headaches. If you're looking to do 10 - 100 sheets or so here or there and you have a reliable dealer network for the laminate...

I know responses have been mixed on it in this thread, but honestly I love our Intec SC5000. It's priced right for its application and has very much opened up project opportunities that wouldn't have existed for us six months ago. I did a pretty lengthy write-up on it on Reddit awhile back and...
