Loose as in the spine is too big? I'm not familiar with that machine a judging by a picture I found on google you manually place a pre-scored cover in the machine. Your creases are probably farther apart than they should be.

We had a 150 but just upgraded to a 350. I'm pretty sure you can fold but not staple. I know we can do that on our 350. Also, I highly recommend the pc controller software.

I wouldn't recommend the 3100 if the registration is anything like the 2100. We have two and both have huge registration problems both front to back and sheet to sheet. On top of the overall bad registration there is a cis sensor that reads the edge of the sheet for registration that will...

We went through this with a customer a while ago. You are right that it is belt burn because they overtighten things instead of maintaining things like they should. Bottom line is there really isn't a good answer. The post office can destroy just about anything. There is even a document from the...

We are an all digital shop and would do those jobs all day digital. I'm assuming it's all color. I think your first problem is you need to get your click costs under control, then maybe it will make more sense. I agree with everyone else that investing in offset for these isn't the way to go...

They charge extra for this? If you have had it for two years I can almost guarantee you can show them more then they can show you. If you really want to learn some more advanced stuff get Fiery certified training direct from Fiery or just ask for a Fiery rep to stop by (someone actually employed...

We have 2 Xerox D125. We put about 750,000 11x17 20# clicks on each of them every month. Just hit 10 million on them this week. For the most part they run good but do require a decent amount of service at that volume. A couple things to note: 1. The internal trays have never worked right for us...

We've been back and forth. At one point they were dumping them, then they were sending new ones, now dumping again. They leave us as many as we need though. We have 5 or 6 for our 7110. We just keep changing them out and when the tech is here for something he dumps all the ones that are full...

All of you being unemployed seems like such a waste of talent. I struggle to find skilled, hardworking employees all the time. I'm 33, have owned a print shop for several years, and my staff consists of both young and old. I don't know why someone would turn away people in their 50's who are...

All or our Xerox stackers are a mess and have constant problems like this as well as dropping early. Try turning the machine off, then unplug the power from the stacker for a couple minutes. Plug back in and turn the machine on and see if it fixes it. If that doesn't work you can grab the bottom...

I haven't done much mixed weight but a small weight difference like that shouldn't make any difference at all.

We have a Ricoh 8220 and I think it would run the job easily. It does great on carbonless. I think it would even handle the thin stuff if you get it cut down. We have a fiery which would make the variable data as well as printing 2 sides of some sheets easy. Just to make it easy if there is a...

We have a duplo with a 2200 sheet feeder. It works well. We are also all digital. If I had to do it again I might get a tower instead. I think if you get a tower and the computer software you can use it like a sheet feeder. Just tell it how many sheets to pull out of each tray and you can do any...

I think most people on here are suggesting way too much machine at way above your budget. Oce 6000 is way more than you need and very expensive. I think you were on the right track to begin with. You would do well with a D95. Make sure you get the oversize high cap feeder and high cap stacker...

We are in NY and do not pay sales tax on production equipment (including finishing equipment). Basically if it's used in the production of a taxable product you don't pay tax

I have a duplo 150 with a duplo 2200 sheet feeder. We like it. It's a very nice upgrade to your 120 but in the same production league. The sheet feeder works well and so does the booklet maker. It may be a bit small for your needs so you might want to look at the larger duplos. Remember with a...

There were some comments about regrind angles but nothing specific. We are getting some tearing/chipping on the spine (not on the front like the pic above). Our blades are currently 21 degrees. What would you recommend for book trimming? Books I'm noticing it most on are thick books 1.5 in +

Xerox 2100, ricoh 901, ricoh 651: separate counters for black and color. single click any size. Ricoh 7110x: separate counters for color or black, single click up to 13x19. sheets larger than 19 are 2 clicks. no click for 5th color, just papy for the toner. so if you print white or clear only...

How about an HP 9800 inkjet. Has a straight through paper path from the back if you hand feed. It says 280 gsm but I'm guessing it would go much thicker based on my experience with similar older HP inkjets. As long as it's not thick enough to hit the head I don't see there being much limitation...

I have a c651ex and while 100# gloss cover is over spec for duplexing we do it all the time without much problem. Just a few extra jams but registration is great. I wouldn't think twice about 100,000 a year. That's nothing for the machine. I've actually been thinking about selling it since we...
