I'm unfamiliar with what you mean - please explain I doubt the OP has a bypass tray. Furthermore I'd recommend against this approach, as the registration on the manual tray (on any machine) is typically inconsistent. I remember this well from years ago when we started with MFPs - sitting...

I’d buy neither. The guillotine is the most used therefore most important machine in any shop. It’s also the machine most likely to cause a life changing injury should it fail mechanically or electronically. On that basis I’d buy neither of those pieces of cheap junk. Buy a Polar, Mohr...

Everyone has a rogue machine at some point. Ours was a Duplo DF-1200 which we bought second-hand when we were first setting up our finishing dept. It *could* have put us off the brand but I'm glad to say it didn't, as their DBM-150T booklet maker (bought brand new from Duplo) is an awesome...

We have the IC-609 on our C4080 and it's the only regret regarding the machine Love the C4080 in terms of output quality and substrate handling but hate the IC-609 with a passion. Almost five years on and we still have unresolved transparency and font issues where we have to print direct to the...

Why are you generating output for print in the RGB colour spectrum?

Just skimming through a few paragraphs of that article brings me to the conclusion it is mostly horseshit - written, possibly by AI, as an SEO page for Google et al It's fundamentally wrong on many counts The C4065 is not an upgrade for the C3070 "A monthly load of one million sheets", an...

If you are making lease payments, that is a revenue (P&L) cost therefore you're not accounting for depreciation. Depreciation is a means of maintaining a realistic value of assets (capital investments) by charging a fraction of the initial cost to the P&L each year over the useful life of the...

Welcome to the forum, Sandeep Be mindful the C3070L was discontinued almost five years ago and replaced with the C4065. That said, there are a lot of similarities in parts and consumables between the C30xx and C40xx series. We've had the C4080 for almost five years (being the first UK...

On small finished pieces such as business cards, all the more important to run a ‘Both Sides Adjustment’ (may be a KM terminology, although I imagine all digital presses have a similar function). Shift of just 1mm is very noticeable on small pieces. Also, the fuser bakes the substrate so it...

Same as @jwheeler discusses above, we do the Both Sides Adjustment on our C4080 regularly and always after changing substrates. We're currently running tens of thousands of 50-up 45x57mm barcoded cards onto 250GSM silk and it's absolutely critical to run BSA daily as there is otherwise drift...

Always worth asking on copytechnet or spiceworks

What’s your current support arrangement? I can’t imagine anyone ‘going it alone’ on a press of this cost, calibre and complexity.

IMO 5th & 6th colour options are a sales gimmick, which most shops won't use often, if at all. I understand the cost is typically not covered by the basic CMYK click - you're buying the toner separately and paying a premium CPC How many jobs do you lose because you can't currently do...

The engineer, especially where there's a great relationship, will tell it as it is, including their own frustrations with trying to get resolution on problems they constantly feed back, warts and all. The sales rep will not understand, or even be particularly interested in the detail of the...

We do. Takes seconds using templates. YMMV

We do it in InDesign

I imagine this is costing you more on small booklets you could otherwise impose 2-up if finishing offline, as generally a click is a click, up to SRA3 / 13x19

We have the DBM-150T with a Plockmatic SQ-104 square fold on the end, as pictured Space is at a premium in our shop and this is the smallest combination trim & squarefold solution you'll find. IMO there's no point in buying a 150 without the trim. You won't guillotine more than a few at a...

Depending on a few variables you've not touched on, in particular substrate type & weight and are all booklet spreads CMYK or any of them BW, then you could get close to this figure (certainly below 40p) digitally provided you're on a competitive click rate. If your shop doesn't currently do...

@jwheeler as an aside, I've sometimes wondered how the console GUI shows these super-long configurations - you could make it longer still by replacing the MB-508 with another 2xPF-707m decks! Does it show a tiny image or split it in two ?
