B/W, or how many colours?

I couldn't find any discussions on this subject, so I'll start one... We are looking to start printing ID cards for an existing client. Initially a thousand or so cards, then to provide a small amount for new and replacement cards each week. We've no prior experience with PVC cards, apart...

What's different about the page it always jams at to the preceding pages ? Specifically in terms of toner coverage, coverage close to edges, etc? IMO the technician is wrong, whilst it may be your content that's triggering the problem, the machine shouldn't do that. Does it jam on side one or...

10/10 Marketing Dept. All for free :D

Tip: A guillotine is the most used piece of equipment in a general/commercial print shop. You'll use it every day, probably 9/10 jobs we do involve the guillotine. You may get away without having a booklet maker, laminator & drill (certainly at the start, whilst you start to see what finishing...

Do you have a specific customer or job lined up for A4 prints on 100/120GSM? Just it's very specific. Most general/commercial print shops use oversized sheets and trim to the finished size. Mainly for two reasons - you can't print A4 full bleed jobs onto A4, also most CPC contracts are based...

Whilst for significant differences the fusing process (toner adhesion) can become a problem, I'd only expect to see that if you're say running 250GSM as 80GSM. For uncoated plain (not textured) 100 or 120GSM, run as 80GSM, it will just run and you'll notice no difference. Don't leave the...

Search the forum as this topic comes up regularly. Cutting to the chase, the 645 is a very old model, approaching 20 years old I believe. We don't have an SCC but did look at them a couple of years ago and concluded the 618 is the winner, since it is fast and the tools are removable. So if...

Had one early last week from a customer with an average spend per visit of less than £10. "Urgently need this multi-tab excel file printed onto A3 pages, need it for tomorrow latest". I took a quick look at the Excel file - no pagination, no formatting, no rows/columns to repeat, etc...

^^ agreed Split the pile into two piles. Scan pile #2 whilst pile #1 is copying. If you want a single PDF (or Compact PDF) use the combine feature in Acrobat.

We looked at these in brief detail and decided against. There are too many unknowns, so whatever you charge per piece, it needs to be at a much, much higher margin than you would expect on a dry toner press, where the CPC is fixed and covers everything. Otherwise, expensive parts and...

We've had a similar long edge front to back issue on our KM Pro951. This occurs when an output sheet doesn't fully exit, causing the tray to drop further than it should, leaving the jogging arms too high, jogging free air as opposed to the stack. In the example pictured below, it self...

Binding methods often present a compromise between aesthetics and functionality. For a document or report intended to be read at a desk or table, wire binding presents nicer, particularly because the open spread sits even either side of the mechanism. However after it has been folded back on...

"Vacation" and "recess" are not common terminology in the UK. "Bank Holidays" encompass New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, two Mondays in May, one in late August and Christmas Scheduled time off work or school is generally referred to simply as "holiday" In the public sector...

I would eliminate the stage of making and placing a PDF of the master document, instead placing the INDD master. That way, when the master is updated, the other INDD files will ask to update links when next loaded, all round much safer in terms of version control.

GBP equivalent of circa 2,800 EUR. That was in 2019

I'd recommend them. We have an Ideal 4850-95EP, bought refurbished in 2019. It has capacity for 99 programs. Ideal and EBA are essentially the same machines, different badge. It's a nice little knife, small footprint and can cut SRA2 in half - useful for greyboard and C1S. The only one issue...

@Frankicks since you indicated you'll be installing a machine at your home, ensure your chosen machine will fit doors & passageways etc. The engine will be the bulkiest component and is 800mm wide x 903mm deep. In the CED, KM specify allowing 1,000mm to the rear, 500mm to the left and 800mm...

Confirm with your home insurer before doing this. In the UK, domestic plugs and sockets come under BS1363, whereas industrial/commercial plugs come under a separate standard, BS4343. This is the sort of technical point that most definitely wouldn't be ignored by a loss adjuster in the event...
